Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T06: Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
|
W52: Repaired corroded vent pipe to controlled air monitoring device C-402. Source Reduction - Pipework for venting system was repaired/replaced. |
2013 |
Source Reduction:: W35: Installed vapor recovery systems
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
|
Source Reduction - Pressure testing on pipework was conducted towards the end of 2013. Process vent piping to the cryogenic condenser (on-stie recycling controlled monitored device) was found to have significant corrosion, leading to fugitive emissions. This is the reason for increased fugitive losses from 2012-2013. The vent pipe has been replaced with stainless steal that will eliminate fugitive air emissions. I predict a reduction in total fugitive losses in 2014. |

The Waste Management Hierarchy |
The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes.
The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed
by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.
