| The sealed bags are mixed directly into the Banbury mixer and become part of the rubber matrix. These can be substituted for manually weighing, packaging and loading chemicals into the rubber mixer. These measures will results in a reduction of particulate emissions. | |
Unreviewed Ammonia Refrigeration OptionsOptions below have not been reviewed by pollution prevention specialists. They are commonly recommended and implemented for facilities. |
||
| Improved Maintenance | ||
| System is covered under PSM. Improved system maintenance can reduce leakage and purger losses. | ||
| UP-GRADE | ||
| ADDING EVAP CONDENSOR TO REDUCE PRESSURE OF SYSTEM FROM 210 PSI TO 180 PSI | ||
| continued monitoring and operation under current | ||
| continue to monitor and maintain refrigeration under PSM program. Ammonia refrigeration has not been purchased in two years therefore program is sound. | ||
| PSM Isolated Ammonia Refrigeration Upgrades | ||
| An active Process Safety Management Program will serve to identify losses of ammonia to the atmosphere from the refrigeration systems. | ||
| Improve Maintenance and Operation | ||
| The system is covered under PSM. Improved maintenance and operating procedures will help reduce releases through relief valves and the auto purger. | ||
| Upgrade Refrigeration Equipment | ||
