Environmental Benefits:
The implementation of this project could serve as a model for other environmental projects because it takes into consideration several aspects of pollution reduction. Going to an aqueous based system eliminates the use of flammable alcohols reducing liquid, solid and air emissions. This has a positive impact on safety at the facility. Since Tarrent county is a moderate non-attainment area, reductions in VOC emissions is a major concern for they area. The project when fully implement will reduce solid hazardous waste by 3 tons and air emissions of methanol by 59,000 pounds.
