Other Environmental Practices - The plant installed a new Thermal Oxidizer and Flares that began full operation in July 2005, thus for the entire year of 2006, all the HAPs and TRI compounds were being destroyed or oxidized to SO2 and CO2 for the entire year of 2006 at a minimum of 98% destruction efficiency. This resulted in a significant reduction in TRI reportable compounds for reporting year 2006. |
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.
