2011 | Other Environmental Practices - The manufacturing process has a vapor capture system that directs process vents to air pollution control equipment. The air pollution control equipment is either a thermal oxidizer, or when that is not available, to a scrubber. This air pollution control equipment is in-line with manufacturing process equipment, and operates when the processing of TRI chemicals occurs. There is no provision for storage of this TRI chemical for subsequent processing. Air releases from air pollution control equipment are captured in Section 5.2 as stack or point source emissions, as the TRI instructions state. | ||

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.
