 Unreviewed Fiberglass Pipe Manufacture Options
Options below have not been reviewed by pollution prevention specialists. They are commonly recommended and
implemented for facilities. |
| |
| Resin Mix/Application |
| Assess amount of resin left in bath after filament application AND reduce amount of resin mixed per application run. |
| |
| vent emissions from winders to RTO |
| Emissions from the winders will be vented through to the regenerative thermal oxidizer. |
| |
| Formulation Change in Matrix Pouring |
| The trend in manufacturing is towards the use of polyester resins with reduced styrene content. As of the beginning of this 5 year period, Austin Counter Tops uses a resin with 27.9% styrene. Emissions can be reduced by approximately 2 tons over 5 years with a 5% decrease in styrene content. |
| |
| Chemical selection |
| The proper selection of chemical binders and mold washes can reduce the amount of HAP- and non-HAP- VOC. |
