UV AND ELECTRON BEAM CURING
by
DR. ALEXANDER ROSS
RadTech International, N.A.
ABSTRACT
Although current Pollution Prevention activities are very useful in initial reduction of
pollutants, most of them affect only peripheral industrial activities, leaving the basic
processing, the source of most of the pollution, untouched. Further advances require
changes in basic industrial processes. Some minor modifications are already in effect, but
their initial pollution reduction is gradually overcome by increased production rates. To
achieve long lasting pollutant prevention, it is necessary to keep virtually all pollutant
from entering the process stream. Fortunately, there are some technologies that can do
this today.
One of these technologies, in controlling air emissions, is variously called UV/EB
(Ultraviolet Light or Electron Beam) or Radiation Curing. This technology serves
Coatings, Inks, Adhesives, Sealants, Release Coatings and similar processes with
solventless materials, thus making them virtually VOC and HAP free. In addition these
materials have the advantage of: 1) high performance 2) reduced energy costs 3) very
rapid cure 4) increased productivity and 5) elimination of the need for oxidizers.
UV/EB is already being used in a variety of industries such as. 1) wood finishing 2)
Printing 3) graphic arts 4) metal cans 5) coating of plastics 6) electronics 7) fiber optics
8) laminating adhesives 9) pressure sensitive adhesives 10) release papers 11) glass
coatings and many others.
The technology is still developing and is rapidly overcoming the perceived shortcomings
such as high material cost, health hazards, poor adhesion on some substrates , high
viscosity and capital requirements.

Abstract
The growth in the use of UV curing inks over the past several years has been significant,
and is expected to continue in the forseeable future. So many advances and
improvements have been made in the technology since it was first introduced that UV
inks are now used in virtually all market segments and printing processes. The reasons
behind these growth patterns will be examined, followed by a look at where UV curing is
used today. The basics of UV curing and UV ink formulation will be discussed.
Perspectives from printers who have switched to UV curing will be highlighted.

Safe Alternatives to Chlorinated Degreasing Solvents
and Means of Recycling
As companies implement new, more competitive manufacturing strategies, parts cleaning and the
products used for degreasing/cleaning can no longer be viewed independently as a lower level
process, but must be considered as an integral part of a company's manufacturing operations.
Along with these changes typically comes the need to evaluate new degreasing/cleaning products.
In the past, degreasing techniques relied heavily on chlorinated solvents. While these solvents are
highly effective in removing grease and oils from metals, at the same time they raise serious
environmental and health concerns. Since ozone depleting products like 1,1,1 Trichloroethane
(1,1,1 TCA) and Trichlorotrifloroethane (CFC 113) have been phased out under the 1990 Clean
Air Act Amendment, users of these products have little choice other than to replace them.
Alternatives to hazardous and ozone depleting solvents include a number of conventional solvents
as well as relatively new aqueous, semi-aqueous, hydrocarbon and more recently organic hybrid
products. In this presentation, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of these safe
alternatives to chlorinated and other hazardous solvents and processes and equipment for on-site
recycling.
Itamar T. Kuiai is a co-founder and President of Solvent Kleene, Inc. which develops and
manufactures non-hazardous degreaser/cleaners, cleaning systems, and solvent recovery
systems. Mr. Kutai directed the development of D-Greeze, the first non-hazardous
degreaser/cleaner to outperform Trichloroethane. He has also directed the engineering and
design of cold cleaning systems; closed-loop, continuous flow solvent recovery systems and paint
strippers which replace Methylene Chloride-based products. Prior to founding Solvent Kleene
he was President of a plastics manufacturing company. He also spent several years developing
manufacturing systems as a process engineer.

Abstract:
Reducing Waste and Improving Transfer Efficiency
in Fluid Handling Applications
William Foy, Graco Inc.
This paper will look at ways to reduce waste production in fluid handling
applications. Major factors which lead to production of hazardous waste include
overmixing of material, application of off-ratio material, overuse of solvents and
inefficient transfer methods. We will examine various methods of solving these
problems:
• Batch dispensing versus mixing from kits
• On-line application of plural component materials with mechanical or electronic
proportioners
• Processes that reduce or eliminate the need for solvents, such as using heat to lower
the viscosity of material and the use of compliant gun washers to reduce the amount
of solvent used in the cleaning process
• Methods to improve transfer efficiency, such as HVLP, Air-Assisted Airless and
Electrostatics
• Meeting EPA and ISO 9000 reporting requirements
We will conclude with an examination of some real-world examples of hazardous
waste reduction using some of the methods described above. We will also present Return
on Investment (ROI) information for these examples.
Note: We will submit a paper, along with a corresponding presentation.

Minimizing Air Emissions and Waste Generation:
Pollution Prevention in the Parts Cleaning Process
Background
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in Southern California
estimates that one traditional mineral spirits or hydrocarbon solvent based parts cleaner
produces an amount of ozone-depleting VOC's and other Hazardous Air Pollutants
(HAP's) equivalent to the emissions from 10 automobiles annually. There are 35,000
businesses using such parts cleaners in the Los Angeles basin - by the date of this
presentation we will have data on the Atlanta area and EPA Region 4 - so eliminating
solvent-based cleaners would take the equivalent of 350,000 vehicles off the roads. The
traditional cold parts cleaning process also generates liquid hazardous wastes which must
be transported to disposal sites.
Waste Minimization and Pollution Prevention
ChemFree Corporation has developed and has patents pending on a parts cleaner which
minimizes both HAP's and liquid hazardous wastes. The system uses a VOC-free, non-
hazardous, biodegradable highly efficient surfactant degreaser cleaning fluid to clean
parts, but then takes one step further. A microbial component is introduced to the fluid so
that after the fluid cleans parts, bioremediation of the contaminants cleaned off of the
dirty parts begins. The result is clean parts, minimal HAP production, minimization or
elimination of liquid hazardous wastes and true source minimization.
Technology Discussion. O & A
We will explain the technology involved, the bioremediation process and appropriate
applications, followed by a question and answer period.

Promoting a Pollution Prevention Culture
Successful Strategies Employed at Motorola
Mary Beth Northrup
Abstract
Pollution prevention is a subject that has been getting a lot of attention. As environmental
professionals, we understand the benefits of preventing pollution: decreased negative environment!
impact, reduced cost, improved public image, and so on. Most of the information published explain
the technical approaches to preventing pollution in "how to" guides for specific processes. But seldom
does the literature address how to move the responsibility for pollution prevention from the
Environmental Department to the process areas; how to promote a corporate culture that embraces anrf
supports the concept of preventing pollution in all aspects of the business. This presentation exploit
that issue as well as the evolution of the management approach to pollution prevention at one Motortri
facility. The presentation also explores such issues as fitting P2 into environmental management
systems and driving a culture to change. nt

ABSTRACT
Pollution Prevention
Outreach from Industry to Community
Rena Huffman
The industries within Cleveland County, North Carolina have an active Environmental Association called
the Cleveland County Industrial Environmental Exchange. This group was formed in 1991, comprised
of Environmental Managers from the majority of the manufacturing facilities within the County. The
mission of the organization is three fold:
(1) Create a better community understanding of environmental issues
(2) Share and innovate waste minimization techniques
(3) Develop an improved business image concerning environmental affairs
The group meets monthly at hosting industries for tours, programs relative to environmental issues, and for
the exchange of ideas. Since it's inception, this group has accomplished several noteworthy achievements
within the Community with the focus on Pollution Prevention.
1. Community Waste Minimization Forum
The CCIEE has hosted several Luncheons for Community Leaders, County and State Legislators,
Educators, and other County representatives. At these luncheons, displays are set up depicting industries'
Waste Minimization efforts. Several presentations on environmental excellence are given to make the
community more aware of the industry's endeavors in being good environmental neighbors.
2. Chamber of Commerce Environmental Committee
The CCIEE spearheaded an Environmental Committee within the Chamber of Commerce as an
outreach within the Community. Through this organization, many events with Pollution Prevention have
been undertaken:
(1) A County wide Recycling Seminar to promote recycling for the small businesses,
(2) An Annual Environmental Awards Program to honor individuals and groups for their
outstanding projects on Recycling and the betterment of the Community.
(3) A Recycling Booth at the County downtown Spring Fest
3. Sponsoring of County Wide Seminars for Businesses and Industries
Among the seminars held was a Solid Waste Seminar with representatives from our local landfill,
recycling centers, and the State Solid Waste Regulatory Agency. Topics covered included what can and
cannot be put into the local landfill and results of our County Recycling Program.
4. Community Based Compliance Assistance
The CCIEE has been asked by the Hazardous Waste Division of the North Carolina Department of
Health and Natural Resources to head up a pilot project of Self-Regulation for SQGs in the County.
This was the result of EPA's Policy on Compliance Incentives for Small Businesses. The purpose is to
provide a voluntary program of self-regulation. The CCIEE members volunteer time and services to
lend a helping hand and serve as a "consultant" for SQGs who may lack the resources necessary to comply
with complex regulations due to lack of money for training and a dedicated environmental staff.

Abstract
Pollution Prevention at Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems:
An Integrated Approach
Rochelle 1. Routman
Pollution prevention programs are most effective when they are integrated with the engineering
and operations functions. A means for integration of the pollution prevention program at
Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems is the Pollution Prevention Committee The Pollution
Prevention Committee consists of representatives from a wide variety of functions throughout the
facility, including materials and processing, maintenance, and fabrication. On the corporate level,
the Lockheed Martin Environmental Technologies Task Force provides a forum for the exchange
of information sector-wide.
The Committee has implemented pollution prevention projects in the following areas: materials
substitution, equipment changes, procedural/distributional modifications, and training and
awareness programs. Examples of projects completed in each of these categories are as follows:
Material Substitution: Formerly, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (an ozone depleting compound) was used
to clean C-130 integral fuel tanks and circuit boards. Fuel tanks are now cleaned with an aqueous
material, and circuit boards are now cleaned with a terpene material. These substitutions have
resulted in the elimination of the usage of ozone depleting compounds in production as well as
wholesale savings to the company.
Equipment Changes: The use of HVLP (high volume, low pressure) paint guns and paint booth
centrifuge systems have substantially reduced paint waste and controlled water usage at the paint
booths.
Procedural/Distributional Modifications: Solvent carts, equipped with small squeeze bottles, limit
the amount of material available to employees Formerly, employees were permitted to take as
much material as they desired.
Training and Awareness: The addition of pollution prevention concepts to the training program
for employees that handle hazardous waste has increased the awareness amongst the employee
population.
As a result of these programs, Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems has achieved an 86.9%
reduction of manifested waste, an 81% decrease in volatile organic compounds resultant from
production painting, and the total elimination of the usage of ozone depleting compounds from
manufacturing. None of these achievements would have been possible without management
support, creative teamwork, and the integration of the pollution prevention initiative throughout
the company.

For many generators, particularly for those generating significant quantity
nf solid and hazardous wastes, practical solutions to waste management
oroblems typically require a multi-faceted approach. Due to the costs
resulting from compliance with federal, state and local regulations many
generators are utilizing alternatives to landfilling such as waste reduction
recycling, and resource recovery through the services of a matenal
exchange Within the last decade, material exchanges have played an
important role in assisting waste generators as well as others interested in
he management of solid and hazardous waste m ident.fy.ng recycling and
waste minimization opportunities. Significant incentives such as avo.d
disposal costs have increased levels of participation in materials exchange
Drograms In addition to helping meet the state and fedeial legulatoiy
retirements participation in a materials exchange program provides both
government agency, and private firm generators and managers with an
opportunity to explore alternative waste management options which may
result in significantly reduced operating costs as well as increased
nrMection of the environment. Material Exchange programs also represent
an important waste management resource for both the private and public
sectors as a means to protect the environment through recycl.ng and
material reuse and promoting business development.

Local Government Perspective on Waste Exchanges:
Hall County, Georgia
Richard Foote
Abstract
According to the most recent information provided by Material Exchanges on the Web
Homepage there are over 50 material exchanges being operated in North America. Of
these the vast majority are operated on a statewide or regional (multi-state) basis. Most
are non-profit and are operated by governments, universities, Chambers of Commerce,
and non-profit groups. Two are sub-state, regional operations and three are operated at
the county level. Hall County's program is one of these.
Hall County operates a materials exchange under its EnviroShare program. EnviroShare
is a business helping business approach to reducing solid waste through information and
materials exchange. It was felt a material exchange component of EnviroShare would be
a natural compliment to site visits. When materials with reuse potential are seen on site
visits companies could be encouraged to list items with reuse potential on the material
exchange. This has worked in some cases where items without a recycling option could
be matched with a reuse need.
In conducting research for the development of the Hall County Comprehensive Solid
Waste Management Plan, the origin of waste was determined to be 15% residential and
85% commercial/industrial. In light of Georgia's waste reduction goal of 25%, it was
obvious that the goal could not be met with a concentration on residential waste alone, as
has historically been the case with most programs nationwide. Increased concentration
on commercial/industrial waste reduction would be required. EnviroShare is one way the
County is shifting its focus.
The resources required can be challenging for a local exchange program. The additional
resources required, the technical issues involved with equipment, software and liability;
and bucking the natural mindset against reuse of materials, all seem to add to the
difficulty of implementing a material exchange program at the local level.
There are good points to having a county focus to a material exchange program. Most of
these stem from the fact that no one knows better what is going on at the local level than
local people. However, a local exchange cannot have the wealth of listings and possible
matches of a larger regional or state exchange.
Some sort of combination of the two approaches might capitalize on individual strengths
and solve weaknesses, offering mutual benefits.

The New Jersey Chemical Industry Project
Abstract
Catherine S. Tunis
The New Jersey (NJ) Chemical Industry Project, part of the US Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) Sustainable Industry Project, is an effort to assess current environmental protection
strategies on a sector basis and develop better approaches. EPA's Industry Strategies Division is
working with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ DEP), US EPA Region
2, and a stakeholder group of industry, environmental group, union, academic and community
representatives focusing on the batch chemical manufacturing industry in NJ.
We started with a process we call "backward mapping." We asked our stakeholders what
inspires companies to achieve—or keeps them from achieving—better environmental performance.
From this, we developed a list of 45 issues for possible pilot projects. We then "scoped" out each
of these issues by asking the appropriate agency officials (EPA, NJ DEP, and the publicly-owned
treatment works (POTWs)) what they thought of the proposals. The Stakeholders then evaluated
each of the issues and chose four pilot projects:
• Trading Effluent Local Limits—the first trade of its kind, we facilitated a trade of metals
credits between indirect dischargers within the same POTW service area;
• Materials Exchange—this pilot seeks to clarify the hazardous waste rules for six typical batch
process scenarios and test a few materials reuse exchanges;
• Compliance Assistance—this pilot is developing a description of NJ DEP regulations,
applicability flow charts for a few regulations, and a list of available compliance resources;
and
• Flexible Track for Good Environmental Performers—establishes incentives for facilities to
maintain and improve environmental performance and community responsibility.
Keys to success for the NJ Chemical Industry Project have been:
• Sector basis-focus on the batch chemical sector presents special challenges and opportunities;
• Geographic focus-working cooperatively with all levels of government in one location may
lead to more effective approaches;
• Stakeholder-driven-the balanced stakeholder group that is truly listened to ensures solutions
that are broadly applicable and beneficial;
• Open and honest atmosphere-the project is designed to learn the pros and cons of different
approaches, not be a forum for political debate or divisiveness;
• Completely voluntary—no promises of benefits, yet most stakeholders have contributed high-
quality work far beyond the requested minimum;
• Communication, communication, communication-communicate early and often, honestly and
completely, listen and express appreciation—trust is critical; and
• Focus on substance—we are here to make a difference in the environment and efficiency-
making a positive difference is the reason the stakeholders work with us.

Taking Automotive P2 on the Road:
Mobile Outreach for Pollution Prevention (MOPP)
Sue Sommerfelt
Iowa Waste Reduction Center
Abstract
The Mobile Outreach for Pollution Prevention (MOPP) is a 34-foot Winnebago customized to
exhibit commercially available equipment useful in waste reduction efforts. The MOPP is
geared toward waste streams commonly generated from the vehicle maintenance and automobile
body repair industry. The MOPP is based on a pilot project conducted in a five-county area in
Northeast Iowa in 1992 called "Solutions for Rural Waste Management." The Iowa Waste
Reduction Center, at the University of Northern Iowa, established the newest demonstration unit
in January, 1995.
The pilot project gathered information on wastes generated by small businesses in the area.
Automotive waste streams were identified as a focus for continuing efforts from the survey data.
The final evaluation of the study area also revealed that recycling and reuse of hazardous waste
increased by 74% and that the use of on-site, illegal incineration of wastes decreased by over
50%.
Since the pilot project, the nine-step implementation plan for a mobile demonstration unit has
been refined by working with a diverse group of partners throughout the nation. The MOPP was
initially funded through a grant from the Northwest Area Foundation. Current efforts are
sponsored through a cooperative agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency. The
MOPP is currently touring its home state by working with partners at the county level. Out-of-
state tours were conducted in Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wyoming.
The Idaho MOPP Partnership was the most extensive demonstration tour to date. The partners
included state agencies, tribal governments, and educational institutions. The MOPP spent eight
weeks touring the state of Idaho, traveling 3,000 miles and visiting 34 communities.
Minnesota and Nebraska each hosted a week-long tour. The Minnesota partners focused on one
specific area, the Lake Superior Basin. Nebraska chose to spread out, touring across the entire
state by placing an emphasis on the educational aspect of the demonstration unit. The
demonstrations were hosted by community colleges with automotive programs.
Each MOPP demonstration is conducted at a central site within a community. Vehicle
maintenance and automobile body shops are invited to attend, usually through direct mail and
personal contact from partnership members.
Businesses attending are given hands-on demonstrations with antifreeze recycling equipment,
solvent stills, paint gun wash systems, and alternative parts washing options. At the
demonstration a regulatory expert is available to discuss specific requirements in a non-
threatening environment. The MOPP also houses a display of waste reduction manuals,
regulatory summaries, and lists of vendors providing the recommended service or equipment.

SURFACE QUALITY IMPACT OF REPLACING VAPOR
DEGREASERS WITH AQUEOUS IMMERSION SYSTEMS
by
T.A. Hoffard
D.R. Polly
C.A. Kodres
Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center
Port Hueneme, CA 93043
ABSTRACT
With traditional vapor degreasing solvents environmentally suspect, other methods of
cleaning metal surfaces are being sought. Aqueous immersion cleaning, currently a
preferred method for intermediate and lighter duty cleaning, is a promising alternative.
Given this incentive, the performance of coated aluminum surfaces that had been
degreased in an aqueous immersion system was compared with the performance of
surfaces that had been vapor degreased. The composition of the surviving contamination
after cleaning was analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The surfaces
were then anodized or chemically conversion-coated following standard procedures. The
performance of the finish was ascertained using several techniques, including the cathodic
breakdown behavior of the coating. A more general goal was to determine a correlation
between the performance of the metal coating and the efficiency of the degreasing system.
It was apparent from a visual examination that the vapor degreaser was not removing
all the contamination. A light film remained on the aluminum surfaces. The metal
immersed in the aqueous degreaser appeared to be clean. FTIR analysis confirmed this.
There was, however, no difference in the overall performance of the surfaces once coated.

TURBINE-C02 (T-CO2) PELLET COATINGS REMOVAL SYSTEM
by
PAUL EDWARD INA, P.E.
DR. JOHN D. DIETZ, P.E.
ABSTRACT
The T-C02 pellet coatings removal system is a rotary blast method of cleaning surfaces.
The cleaning or stripping action takes place when high speed pellets of frozen CO2
impact the surface and remove any contamination or paint. Dry ice pellets can produce a
clean and properly prepared surface without generating much hazardous waste. Solid C02
sublimes to the atmosphere as it strikes the metal surface leaving only surface and paint
contaminants as the byproduct. Using dry ice also minimizes the use of hazardous
materials, i.e., methylene chloride and trichlorotrifluoroethane to clean and strip metal
substrates. This test system delivers 420 pounds per hour of dry ice in the form of 0.16
inch diameter pellets traveling at a velocity of 1200 feet per second. A specially
developed lightweight brushless DC motor is used to deliver 15 kilowatts of power to the
T-C02 system at 12,500 rpm. Paint stripping rates in excess of 1 square foot per minute
were achieved. The T-C02 system effectively cleaned and stripped a coating thickness of
36 mils which is nine (9) times the normal primer and topcoat paint thickness. Surface
roughness produced by this system exceeds the near-white metal finish required in the
SSPC specifications for paint systems. The topcoat and the primer meet the requirements
of MIL-P-85582 and MIL-C-85285. The corrosion resistance meets acceptable standards
based on paint systems.

Abstract
Legacy Systems Incorporated was established on the basis of providing the highest purity
chemicals available at the lowest price, reducing chemical inventory and storage, and providing a
safer means to transport chemicals to process tanks in the semiconductor and flat panel display
industries. LSI believes in the need to find better ways to utilize our natural resources.
LSI first developed Point of Use Chemical Generation (POUCG) systems which produce
high purity chemicals on demand from a fab's own house de-ionized water and semiconductor-
grade gases. The chemical is then delivered from the point of formation to the wet station.
After pioneering POUCG in 1988 and 1989, LSI immediately began work on applying
POUCG technology to In-Situ chemical manufacture (meaning in the process bath, typically with
the wafers or flat panel display present). In-Situ equipment has met not only the requirements of
standard s/c chemicals but provides the chemistry at unprecedented levels of purity and eliminates
liquid chemical storage and distribution systems. It has also established an environment for the
creation of mixed or combined process chemistries.
Recently LSI has developed a Chilled Ozone™ process to remove organics such as
photoresist. The process uses oxygen and water as the raw materials. The active product is ozone
which safely decomposes to oxygen. Ozone attacks the carbon-carbon double bonds of the resist
converting the molecules directly to carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and water There
are: NO High Temperatures, NO Sulfuric Acid, NO Hydrogen Peroxide, NO Nitric Acid all of
which cause environmental issues. Not only are sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide solutions
eliminated, but the consumption of rinse water needed for each batch of wafers processed with
these chemicals is eliminated. The amount of water saved can be 10,000,000 gallons per wafer
fabrication site per year for three wet stations. At $0.06 per gallon the water savings alone is
$600,000 per year. The process replaces traditional sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide
solutions. For a typical 200mm fab with six sulfuric acid:hydrogen peroxide tanks, this saves
31,000 gallons of chemicals per year. At a cost of $15.00 per gallon this represents a chemical
cost savings of $465,000. In addition, since acids are not used, the process of waste acid
neutralization is eliminated which saves the equivalent of over 25,000 gallons of Ammonium
Hydroxide valued at $175,000.
The significance of our work at LSI is the continued reduction in the use of sulfuric acid and
hydrogen peroxide chemicals, fumes and SOx in the s/c and flat panel display industries. LSI will
continue to pioneer the introduction of other process chemistries into the ozonated water so that
multiple manufacturing sequences can be combined in one process tank. The use of very dilute
high purity chemistries result in more efficient use of our resources and eliminate the large
volumes of water rinses currently employed in the industry.

Abstract
Thermal Polyaspartate (TPA, poly-a,p-D,L-aspartic acid) is a biodegradable, water soluble
polypeptide obtained via a solventless thermal polymerization of the naturally occurring amino acid
aspartic acid. This environmentally friendly polycarboxylate has utility in a variety of industrial
applications such as mineral scale inhibition, corrosion .. ^inhibition, dispersancy, detergent
anti-redeposition. These are all fields where non-biodegradable vinyl addition polymers are
traditionally used. In addition, TPA has been shown to enhance the uptake of mineral nutrients in
plants and to enhance the activity of herbicides and insecticides. This agricultural use of TPA provides
the double environmental benefit of increased crop yields and lower agricultural chemical usage. The
chemistry of commercial manufacture of TPA, its biodegradability, and its uses will be discussed.

TtaSed antifoulants came under regulatory advisement m the 1980 s and we began to examine
isothiazolones as an environmentally safe alternative to tin compounds. Our search generally
fnllmved the naradiRm that environmental risk is a function of toxicity and exposure. Our
experience with isothiazolone chemistry suggested that it would be extremely difficult to design
a marine antifoulant that was toxic to fouling organisms (e g. tube worms and barnacles) but non
™ to their related non-target organisms (e.g. mussels and oysters) Thus we looked for a
compound that would have reduced exposure - a short environmental half-l.fe and/or parM,o„
raoMly into a matrix of limited bioavailability. The results of th.s examination yielded the 1996
p"eM Green Chemistry awardee. Sea-Nine™ 211 antifoulant (4,5-dichloro-2-n octyl-4-
isothiazolin-3-one), a very efficacious compound. Sea-Nine antrfoulant has a half-hfe ,n a
^^environment of less than one hour and limited bioavailability of metabolites due to their
association with sediment. Degradation involves cleavage of the .soth.azolone nng and
sutoequent oxidation to yield detoxified metabolites. These metabolites have limited mob.l.ty
due to their strong association with sediment and suspended particles.

Georgia-Pacific Commitments For Energy Reductions Through Climate Wise
Dr. Sergio F. Galeano and Mr. Ken Blankenship
Abstract
Since becoming a Climate Wise Charter Partner at the end of 1994, Georgia-Pacific has made a
commitment to significant reductions in energy use in its primary paper mills, as well as other
business units. Georgia-Pacific's Climate Wise pledge focuses on four areas of activity: (n
energy management systems; (2) increased energy efficiency in energy utilization; (3) increased
carbon sequestration; (4) transportation efficiency improvements.
By implementing energy efficiency targets in six business units, Georgia-Pacific plans to reduce
purchased electricity and fossil fuel usage per unit of production, ranging from 3 percent in the
chemical group to 9 percent at the primary paper mills, by December 31, 1999. Establishing 60
environmental goals in 1994, including conservation and sustainable use of resources, Georgia-
Pacific continues to implement measures reflective of the company's commitment to good forest
management and the practice of sustainable forestry. A significant rate of carbon dioxide
sequestration is thus ensured and maintained via active forest management. Recovered fiber use
is expected to increase by 25 percent by the year 2000 in pulp and paper operations, using 1993
as the baseline. Georgia-Pacific's use of recycled paper in production at integrated mill sites
results in further energy and C02 reductions in comparison to the total energy use involved in
using virgin pulp, or complete paper recycled production at an isolated paper mill.
Energy reduction, GHG controls and pollution prevention (P2) projects are intertwined to some
degree. The authors indicate categories of P2 projects in Georgia-Pacific relevant to the climate-
Wise plan.

Continual Improvements Lead to Big Savings at Interface, Inc.
Jennifer R. DuBose
Interface, Inc is a $1 billion a year international manufacturer and marketer of commercial
interior products: carpet tile, broadloom carpet, fabrics, raised flooring and specialty chemicals.
Energy efficiency projects first received serious attention at Interface in 1995. The interest in
reducing energy consumption has been driven by two different but compatible forces: our CEO,
Ray Anderson and our COO, Charlie Eitel.
When Charlie Eitel joined Interface one of the first things he did was setup a program we call
"QUEST" (Quality Utilizing Employee Suggestions and Teamwork). QUEST is our internal war
on waste in which we are working to eliminate all waste. Waste is broadly defined as anything
that goes into our product that does not come out as value to our customer. The other force
comes from our Founder and now famous CEO, Ray Anderson. In 1994 when Ray Anderson
read "Ecology of Commerce," by Paul Hawken he said it was like a spear in his chest, he felt
guilty for having operated the company for 23 years with little consideration of the
environmental impacts. As a result Mr. Anderson created a movement called "EcoSense" to
push Interface toward sustainability.
These two forces together have resulted in thousands of projects ranging from lighting retrofits to
photovoltaic arrays, saving the company a cumulative $40 million. The multitude of
opportunities that exist is thrilling, but also overwhelming. To respond to this challenge we are
currently developing a strategy to pull together our resources into one toolkit that will be
presented to the facility managers at our 26 sites around the globe. This will allow us to make the
best use of resources that we have access to from EPA personnel to private consultants, and to
save an even greater amount of money while reducing our impact on the Earth.
Jennifer R. DuBose
Ms. DuBose works on EcoSense Programs at the Interface Research Corporation, initiating
positive change throughout Interface Inc. In the year she has been with Interface she has become
involved in numerous exciting projects. The most recent project was assisting in the creation of
the Interface Sustainability Report. Her job also includes identifying opportunities and resources
that will help the corporation move toward sustainability, such as the voluntary EPA programs
Climate Wise and Energy Star. Prior to her employment with Interface, Ms. DuBose was a
research assistant with the Center for Sustainability Technology at Georgia Tech, developing
curriculum to introduce sustainable development to engineers. She earned her master's degree in
Environmental Policy from the Georgia Institute of Technology and her bachelor's degree in

U.S. EPA Policy on the Use of SEPs in Enforcement Settlements
Becky B. Allenbach
Abstract
Supplemental environmental projects (SEPs) are environmentally beneficial projects which a
defendant agrees to undertake in settlement of an environmental enforcement action, but which the
defendant is not otherwise legally required to perform. In return, some percentage of the cost of the
SEP is considered as a factor in establishing the final penalty paid by the defendant.
During this session, attendees will leam the various categories of SEPs as well as some of the legal
guidelines that must must be followed. Real-world examples of SEPs that have been completed by
companies as a result of enforcement settlements will also be presented.

Abstract
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Pollution Prevention (P2) Project
in Enforcement (PiE) effort began in 1991 as a pilot project modeled after the US EPA's
new Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) policy. In 1994, FDEP added pollution
prevention credits to its Settlement Guidelines for Civil Penalties which encourages
enforcement staff to consider the option of offsetting a facility's civil penalties (i.e., for
environmental noncompliance) with pollution prevention projects.
This presentation provides an overview of a typical P2 project in enforcement case,
including a discussion of its components, in particular, the Waste Audit Report (WAR),
and the P2 Project Plan.

ABSTRACT
P2 PROJECTS IN ENFORCEMENT
TWO ELECTROPLATING CASE STUDIES
The two case studies discussed in this presentation resulted from the State of Florida's
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) RCRA (hazardous waste) inspection
program. The facilities involved were found to have violations of hazardous waste
management requirements and were offered the option of implementing pollution
prevention (P2) projects to offset a portion of the civil penalties. The chrome plating
facility's waste assessment/development of P2 options was conducted by FDEP's
Pollution Prevention Program, while the zinc and miscellaneous metal plating facility's
assessment/development of P2 options was performed by a private consultant.
As both cases are ongoing, a number of the P2 options discussed in the presentation are
still being evaluated and the results cited from implemented projects are still preliminary.

Strategic Chemical Management Group
Program Overview
Corporations facing increased market pressure are seeking innovative ways to enhance
profitability while emphasizing compliance with stringent environmental health and safety
requirements. Strategic sourcing of chemicals through vendor alliances is a methodology that
produces demonstrable positive results.
The Strategic Chemical Management Group (SCMG) creates, designs, implements, and manages
custom strategic sourcing solutions for industry. SCMG serves as the Tier I Managing Partner
for Tier II Partner-Suppliers (usually primary chemical manufacturers), who in turn deliver the
required chemical activity: order placement, payment, information management, technical
assistance—anything the customer needs to support chemical procurement. This results in a
significant cost reduction to the customer.
SCMG, as the managing partner, coordinates the procurement of the chemical products and
ensures the established delivery and tracking strategies are implemented. SCMG selects,
organizes, trains, manages, motivates, troubleshoots monitors, and benchmarks the performance
of its Partner-Suppliers.
This management arrangements is essentially transparent to the customer, who interfaces with
SCMG as the one-stop supplier of all chemical commodities and services. SCMG is responsible
for the overall performance of the various manufacturers and distributors whose products are
brought together to serve the chemical needs of the customer.
This service is provided at no cost to the customer. SCMG's work is funded by the Partner-
Suppliers it manages, and form savings-sharing programs which are a part of the productivity
incentive package established at the outset of the alliance.
The alliance lowers the customer's total costs, not only on actual chemical pricing, but in staffing
and related aspects of chemical management (procurement, handling, receiving, etc.). SCMG
has proven that significant cost savings can be achieved by combining all aspects of chemical
management including inventory, reporting, etc., into one system. The alliance also produces
important efficiencies in Environmental Health and Safety management, yielding more effective
compliance at greatly reduced cost.
Project success is measured not only by cost savings but by successful product implementation,
environmental compliance and customer satisfaction. It is SCMG's job to ensure that the
products work properly, are environmentally compliant, and cost effective.
SCMG created the chemical sourcing alliance now in place at Southern California Edison. We
look forward to sharing the details of this, and our other successes with you.
62
-------
Strategic Chemical Management and Cost Savings
The cost savings which result from the SCMG program are significant. SCMG ensures timely
delivery of the best possible chemical products at the most economical prices. However,
reduction in the base cost of chemicals is not the only cost savings realized by the customer. As
a result of the work undertaken by SCMG, the customer realizes immediate savings in areas
beyond base chemical costs. These savings will be generated in the areas of:
• Procurement
• Accounts Payable
• Material Handling
• Inventory Management
Furthermore, SCMG has determined that a range of additional "invisible costs" is also positively
impacted through the strategic sourcing alliance. While the dollar value of these invisible costs
are not always quantified, our strategy addresses their reduction in a direct and proactive fashion
Some of the invisible costs we target include:
• Testing
• Disposal
• Information Support
• MSDS Management
• Environmental Reporting
• Emissions Management
The Strategic Chemical Management Group targets reduction of these "invisible costs" as an
integral part of our operating plan.

EVALUATION OF UV-CURABLE COATINGS FOR
ALUMINUM CAN PRODUCTION
CASE STUDY
Robert E. Brady Jr.
Abstract
This study was initiated to review the literature and technology applicable to coating beverage
cans, to confirm previous assumptions made about the low air emissions impact of the UV can
printing process, to determine energy estimates for thermal and UV processes, and to assess cost
effectiveness of the top two competing technologies.
Results have indicated that the techniques that are most applicable to can printing are the solvent
ink and high solids overvarnish printing with thermal curing, or the UV based ink and
overvarnish printing with UV curing.
Overall, the UV process is significantly lower in energy usage than the thermal process with or
without incinerator controls. This is true for the direct consumption of energy at the production
site alone, or for the additional impact of energy requirements at the power utility feeding
electricity to the can plant.
This review has indicated that the UV process has much lower air emissions than the thermal
process, that the UV process is equivalent to the thermal process with incinerator controls for
VOC and HAP emissions, and that the UV process has significantly lower system C02 emissions
than either thermal process.
The economic review has indicated that the UV process is more cost effective than the
installation of a new thermal oven process, or a new thermal oven process with incinerator
controls. The UV process once installed is comparable in operating costs to a thermal process
without air emissions controls via an incinerator. The UV process once installed is much more
cost effective than a thermal process with an incinerator control. The installation of a new Uy
process, however, is not immediately cost competitive to the installation of an incinerator
control to an existing thermal process, although it is cost effective in the long term.
A market review indicated that domestic production of beverage cans is approximately 100
billion cans a year. Growth domestically is projected to be about 2% a year, with higher growth
internationally. Almost all beverage cans are currently 2 piece aluminum cans, and can
production is dominated by five can manufacturing companies. There is only one UV based can
plant currently.

Abstract
Case Studies of Successful Implementations Of Aqueous Cleaning Systems
Richard D. Pirrotta, PE, Manager, Process Engineering
Introduction
Non-halogenated metal parts cleaning systems were tested and evaluated for environmental
compliance as well as technical and economic feasibility. Surface cleanliness testing was carried
out by Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) at Department of Defense (DOD) and
commercial facilities to establish a baseline of current cleaning operations and evaluate the
feasibility of aqueous cleaning systems for specific applications. Several different aqueous
cleaning systems were procured, installed, and validated at the CTC Advanced Cleaning Center.
These activities provide the knowledge and experience necessary to successfully implement these
new technologies at DOD and commercial sites. Examples of implementations at these sites,
which include a cabinet washer cleaning system at a commercial facility and a rotary basket
cleaning system at a DOD facility, are described in the paper.

Aqueous Cleaning Can Be Cost-Effective:
Best Pre-Treatment / Best Management Practices
The Changing Role of Aqueous Cleaners and
the Impact of High-efficiencv Oil Contaminant Control
in the Parts Washing / Finishing Pretreatment Process
John P. Scambos
Abstract
Manufacturers, especially those in metalworking industries, have switched to aqueous processes.
For many, the transition has not been without difficulty. Those difficulties have encompassed:
~ the downside of using significantly higher volumes of aqueous chemistries and rinse water
than were ever consumed with solvents;
~ the problems caused with the assumption of treatment for discharge of these waters where
solvents were handled (read "recycled") at central, toll facilities;
~ where conversely, the dilemma in having to select emulsifying agents to overcome the
problems of poor primary separation technologies, is that wastewater plant operators are now
faced with trying to break increasingly complex chemical emulsions;
~ with the resultant fiscal consequence of the treatment of large volumes of wastewater and, in
some cases, hazardous waste disposal.
We intend to show that conventional separation methods can now be replaced by a thin-film fluid
recovery, which brings a level of contaminant control required to maintain minimum quality output.
What are the implications of this breakthrough ? That recent advances in fluids separation
technology, originally targeting wastewater, can now be used within the generating process to
improve aqueous process performance - by several orders of magnitude.
This prompts manufacturers to seriously examine their total aqueous system, as opposed to just
concentrating on upgrading the post-production wastewater treatment process. It allows re-
evaluation of both production lubricants and the aqueous cleaning detergents used. Plant
management can go back to selecting lubricants and cleaners that lend themselves to easier
separation and re-use, reversing recent trends towards complexing chemistries which tended to
facilitate the discharge of micro-dispersed and solubilized hydrocarbons.
Continuous contaminant removal and concentration not only allow better overall process
performance but also meet or surpass goals for pollution prevention and source chemistry
reduction. Separation and re-use are at the very heart of lowest cost production - a fact
sometimes hidden in the complex, full service arrangements made by many chemical
suppliers/management companies.

Abstract
Pollution Prevention - Parts Washing of the 1990's
Rob Whiteman, Ph.D.
Air pollution has caused Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to focus on solvent-free
alternatives for parts washing. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in
California (CA) recently passed Rule 1171 banning solvent parts washing from January 1997.
SCAQMD had many water-based systems tested during 1995/1996 by the Institute for
Independent Research and Technical Assistance (IRTA). The IRTA study determined that a
bioremediating parts washer called ZYMO was $400-600 per year less expensive to operate than
other systems. Criteria such as lost labor due to handwashing, which were not considered by the
IRTA report, offer further savings in excess of $2500/yr with the ZYMO technology.
The secret of ZYMO's economy lies in use of microbes to bioremediate oil and grease washed off
parts. This extends the bath-life of the cleaning fluid for up to two years (104 weeks), minimizing
the amount of waste disposal and operating costs. In comparison, solvents require disposal every
4-12 weeks and water-based cleaners every 4-26 weeks.
There are estimated to be 600,000 mineral spirits free standing, parts washers in the USA. Many
industries in the USA remain small hazardous waste generators because of a single mineral spirits
parts washers. By changing to a bioremediating system like ZYMO, these industries could
become exempt, save money, improve worker health and safety and substantially contribute to a
reduction in air pollution.
Perhaps, legislation by Environmentalists and Health and Safety Organizations banning solvents
Nationally have been waiting for ZYMO. Truly, it seems that ZYMO is the pollution prevention
parts washer of the 1990's.

Pollution Prevention Planning:
Lessons-Learned from Greening the Next Submarine
Mark D. Pfarrer
The Pentagon's environmental leadership recognizes that weapon systems are the primary cause
of pollution within the military, and actively encourages design teams of new weapon systems to
practice pollution prevention up front. Such efforts are partly encouraged because they offer the
potential for significant cost savings to the defense department over the life cycle of the system
Up front pollution prevention planning is the key to any weapon system achieving success.
This paper builds upon nearly three years of personal experiences with the greening of weapon
systems such as the New Attack Submarine to present a helpful approach for a business or
manufacturer to use in integrating environmental considerations into its products, be they
weapon systems or refrigerators. The scope of the discussion is applicable to all product
managers, regardless of product complexity or degree of maturity. The discussion should be of
interest to Conference attendees because the New Attack Submarine Program was the recipient
of the Pentagon's 1996 Pollution Prevention Award for Weapon System Acquisition Teams.
The presentation consists of a discussion of ten items that are credited with much of the
submarine program's environmental successes, blended with lessons learned:
• Obtain Upper Management Buy-In
• Create a Pollution Prevention Plan
• Establish Pollution Prevention Targets
• Define Product Life Cycle
• Involve Suppliers And Vendors
• Create an Environmental Management Team
• Conduct Environmental Awareness Training
• Ensure Environmental Compliance
• Look for Environmental Risk Management Items
• Monitor Progress
The presentation concludes with some insights about how to establish an affordable yet effective
environmental program for the product, and making pollution prevention part of your company's
normal, continuous improvement process. The most important lesson learned brought out in the
conclusion is that the earlier in the product's life cycle that pollution prevention is initiated, the
bigger the eventual successes and cost savings.

One Stop Shopping For Assistance:
Development of a Statewide Partnership for Technical Assistance
LeAnn C. Herren
Technical Assistance Manager
University of South Carolina Center for Environmental Policy
Abstract
Tn this dav and age, everyone is looking for a bargain. They want to save money, save
time and save effort on every project be it making coffee or remediating a site. This
oush for the best deal has even entered the technical assistance arena. In response to
industries' call for a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to get assistance, the State of
South cLlina developed the South Carolina Environmental Network (SCEN). The
SCEN was designed to acknowledge the existing capabilities of the various technical
assistance providers in the state to meet the needs of business, government, and
individuals in environment, health, and safety. By developing the Network, the members
are able to provide a more thorough assistance program while funding for such efforts is
often declining.
The expertise of the Environmental Network has expanded to include environmental
agencies technical colleges, universities, and organizations from across the state. The
Network has a signed Memorandum of Agreement and a joint scheduling system to
eliminate duplicate assessments by members. The SCEN has designed and is operating a
weboaee and a webboard system for inquiries. The future plans of the Network team
include the finalization of a self-administered evaluation program designed to gauge the
effectiveness of the assistance provided. A Pollution Prevention Resource Index should
be available both in hard copy and in a searchable format on the website in the late Fall of
1997 The Index includes data on all public sector assistance available from the members
in the environment, health and safety arena. The South Carolina Environmental Network
is a working partnership proving the old adage "Together we can make a difference .

ABSTRACT
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has contracted with AeroVironment
Environmental Services, Inc. and its subcontractor, Adhesives Coating Co., to develop and
demonstrate a no-VOC (volatile organic compound)/no-HAP (hazardous air pollutant) wood
furniture coating system. A further objective is to develop and implement a technology transfer
plan to get the product into public use. The performance characteristics of this new coating
system are excellent in terms of adhesion, drying times, gloss, hardness, mar resistance, level of
solvents, and stain resistance. Workshops are being held to provide detailed information to wood
furniture manufacturers on what is required to change to the new coating system. Topics such as
spray gun selection, spray techniques, coating repair procedures, drying times and procedures,
and spray equipment cleaning materials and techniques will be presented. A cost analysis,
including costs of materials, capital outlay, and labor will be conducted comparing costs to finish
furniture with the new system to systems currently used. Film performance, coating materials
cost per unit production, productivity, manufacturing changes, and emission levels will be
compared in the workshops, based on data gathered during the in-plant, full scale
demonstrations.

Major areas of expertise:
Particulate control - 10 years working with iron and steel, ferroalloy, and iron foundry industries
on particulate controls, including add-on devices and process modifications. Special emphasis
on coke oven emissions. Also managed a few waste water projects.
Residential wood combustion - 12 years working on measurement and control of emissions from
residential combustion of wood. Major focus on identifying emission levels from stoves
operated by residents in their own homes. Also, obtained two patents for a new, low-emission
technology applicable to wood stoves and fireplaces.
Wood furniture coatings - 7 years working with wood furniture industry and coatings suppliers to
develop and promote use of low VOC/low HAP coatings for wood furniture. Specific projects
managed include:
• An ongoing project initiated in 1992 to develop and demonstrate a new water-borne resin
technology which uses no organic solvents, thus no VOCs or HAPs. This technology has
been developed into complete coating sequences. This work is now culminating in
several demonstrations on wood and metal furniture.
• An ongoing project initiated in 1995 to promote the more rapid spread of low VOC/low
HAP wood furniture coatings. Two plant demonstrations have been completed; more are
planned over the next year.
• A recently completed project to measure emissions from conversion varnishes during the
curing phase. Particular emphasis was placed on the long term (>6 months)
formaldehyde emission profile.
• A recently completed project to develop and demonstrate the use of reactive diluents as
replacements for conventional organic solvents in coatings for metal substrates. This
project first evaluated the capabilities of vernonia oil, the only naturally occurring
epoxidized vegetable oil. Vernonia oil worked extremely well, but cost was prohibitive.
In later phases, the project evaluated the use of low cost, readily available partially
epoxidized soybean and linseed oils. This evaluation included demonstrations at three
user's facilities.
Prior to joining EPA, work 10 years in industry developing advanced combustion systems (main
burners and afterburners) for commercial and military aircraft gas turbine engines.

"Pollution Prevention Resources for Screen Printers:
An Overview of the DfE Screen Printing Project"
Karen Seeh
U.S. EPA Design for the Environment (DfE) Program
Abstract
There are a variety of chemical screen cleaning products which are commercially available. However, these
chemical products may be harmful to workers and the environment. Moreover, although many large
commercial printers already have access to information about new and developing systems and technologies
smaller printers may not have the time or the resources to keep up with all the latest technology; nor do they'
have the ability to test new systems without jeopardizing their current operations. The question screen printers
face: Which products will get a screen clean and still allow them to operate a facility which is safer for
workers, cost effective, and environmentally sound?
In response to this question, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), in partnership with the screen
printing industry, developed the Design for the Environment(DfE) Screen Printing Project. The project is a
unique cooperative effort dedicated to identifying and evaluating screen reclamation procedures, products and
technologies that can help screen printers do their job in the most effective manner. It is a non-regulatory'
voluntary project involving EPA and representatives of the screen printing industry, including screen printers-
U.S. manafacturers of screen reclamation products; the Screenprinting and Graphic Imaging Association
International(SGIA); the Screen Printing Technical Foundation(SPTF); the University of Tennessee Center for
Clean Products and Clean Technologies; and the U.S. EPA DfE Program.
While there are a number of worker health and environmental concerns associated with screen printing
and screen printers can print on a variety of substrates, this effort focused on the screen reclamation process in
the approximately 20,000 facilities who print graphic arts materials, such as fine art prints, billboard
advertisements, point-of-purchase displays, posters, plastic banner wall hangings, original equipment
manufacturing, and electronic equipment. The Project has developed information on the important trade-off
issues associated with the environmental and human health risk, performance, and cost of 16 substitute screen
reclamation systems and technologies. The results of the Project are compiled in a full technical report, the
Cleaner Technologies Substitutes AssessmentfCTSA^: Screen Printing, which was published in draft form by
EPA in September 1994. The CTSA identifies a number of substitute screen reclamation products that perforin
well, are cost-effective, and pose less risks for workers and the environment. A major benefit outlined in the
CTSA for switching from traditional screen reclamation methods to alternative methods is a significant
reduction in inhalation risks to workers. The CTSA also identifies workplace practice changes that printers can
easily and cheaply implement. In addition, new methods and technologies are examined that might help
printers improve their bottom line while reducing human health and environmental impacts.
To help industry implement some of the new technologies identified during CTSA development, DfE provides
a variety of information products; including fact sheets, bulletins, case studies, videos, software, and training
materials. By developing and distributing this type of information, the Project partners hope that screen
printers, particularly smaller printers, will be better equipped to make decisions on whether the costs, benefits
and risks of these substitute systems make them possible for use in their own shops.

Abstract:
Stepping Ahead: Pollution Prevention in the Screen Printing Industry
The screen printing industry - representing over forty thousand small business in the
United States alone - has, through its voluntary partnership with the US Environmental
Protection Agency's Design for the Environment Program, received a wealth of valuable
pollution prevention information specific to its industry sector. Progress made within the
program came as the result of three-pronged effort of equal partners: industry,
government, and trade association, working together to achieve a common goal.
Voluntary programs can be beneficial to industry sectors, but require copious amounts of
dedication from all parties involved.

Waste Reduction Activities
Eric M. Henry
Abstract
Water-Based Platen Adhesives: Platen adhesives hold the garments to be printed in place on the
printing apparatus. T.S. Designs switched from an aerosol adhesive to a non-aerosol water based
adhesive on most of the screenprinting devices and thus substantially reduced VOC emissions.
Wastewater and Screen Reclamation Chemical Reduction: Previously, stencils used in the
screenprinting operation were washed with two chemicals after each use to completely remove ink
from the screen. The wash chemicals were used once and then discharged down the drain. By
installing solution holding tanks, T.S. Designs now routes the used chemicals back to the respective
holding tanks for reuse. This chemical reclamation and reuse technique has significantly reduced
the quantity of chemicals and water consumed by the company.
Silver Recovery: Film for color separations is developed in-house with chemicals containing silver.
Previously, the spent developing chemicals were discarded down the drain. By installing a silver
recovery system on the photographic processing equipment, T.S. Designs now recovers the silver
and receives revenue from the sale.
Waste Reduction / Annual Savings. Since switching to water-based adhesive, the company reduced
consumption of solvent-based adhesives by 91 percent, from 4,800 to 430 aerosol cans per year. The
company plans to completely eliminate solvent-based adhesives from its production by testing a
hand-operated system that is attached to the current auto spray system.
With the installation of the holding tanks for the chemical solutions and water reuse, chemical
consumption has dropped by 86 percent. Also, the quantity of water required to make up the
solution baths has been reduced by 630 gallons per week. The total cost savings from all the waste
reduction initiatives undertaken at the company amounted to $15,000 in 1994.
Additional Comments
By planting 200 pine trees around the plant, the company decreased fertilizer consumption, saved
$1,200 on yard maintenance, and provided the employees with a shaded lunch area.
In addition to the waste reduction initiatives implemented at the facility, T.S. Designs is actively
promoting environmental awareness in the local business community. Company President Eric
Henry founded Environmental Responsible Businesses of Alamance County, a non-profit group that
now boasts a membership of 40 companies. The company has also participated in EPA trials of the
environmentally sound screenprinting technologies that have less impact on the environment. T.S.
Designs is also a member of EPA's Greenlight Program, which promotes energy-efficient lighting.

Evaluation of Direct Metallization Technologies
by the Design for the Environment Printed Wiring Board Project

Design for the Environment Program
Lori E. Kincaid, Jack R. Geibig, Mary B. Swanson; University of Tennessee
Center for Clean Products and Clean Technologies
Abstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Design for the Environment (DfE)
Program has worked closely with the Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits
(IPC), its member companies, the University of Tennessee's Center for Clean Products and Clean
Technologies, and other interested parties since 1994 to conduct a comparative study of available
technologies for making printed wiring board (PWB) holes conductive (i.e., alternatives to the
electroless copper process). Project participants have developed and analyzed technical information
regarding the human health and environmental risks, performance, chemical and natural resource
use, and costs of the electroless copper process and six "direct metallization" technologies.
The results of the study suggest that the alternatives to traditional non-conveyorized
electroless copper processes not only have environmental and economic benefits, but also perform
the MHC function as well as electroless copper. While there appears to be enough information to
show that a switch away from traditional electroless copper processes has reduced risk benefits, there
is not enough information to compare the alternatives to this process among themselves for all their
environmental and health consequences. This is because not all proprietary chemicals have been
identified, and because toxicity values are not available for some chemicals. Detailed information
on each of the technologies may be found in the draft EPA publication, Printed Wiring Board
Cleaner Technologies Substitutes Assessment: Making Holes Conductive, Volumes 1 and 2; EPA
744-R-97-002a and 002b; August 1997).
The primary objective of this project is to encourage companies to consider implementing
cleaner technologies that will improve the environmental performance and competitiveness of the
PWB industry. We urge all PWB manufacturers to review the data generated by the project. We
believe that when all of the information is considered together, PWB manufacturers will find that
one or more direct metallization technologies will make good economic and environmental sense
for their facilities and product applications.
Katherine M. Hart is with the Design for the Environment (DfE) Program in the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, where she serves
as the Project Lead for the DfE Printed Wiring Board and Computer Display Projects. Prior to
joining the DfE Program, she was a Senior Project Manager at Jellinek, Schwartz & Connolly,

The Radiance Process: Water and Chemical Free Cleaning
John H. Robison
Abstract
The Radiance Process, is a water and chemical free method of cleaning surfaces. It
employs quantum mechanical effects of laser light and an inert gas, ordinarily nitrogen, to
clean surfaces. The light lifts the contaminant from the surface and the flowing gas
sweeps it away. There is no pollution and no wastes besides the removed contaminant
itself.
Photon flux
si/ \J/
Inert gas flow
Substrate
Process Mechanism: Photon interactions and contamination entrainment.
Radiance was one of five organizations in September 1997 to receive the National
Pollution Prevention Roundtable's Most Valuable Pollution Prevention award. An EPA
funded demonstration of the Radiance Process is currently taking place at Motorola's
Phoenix Corporate Research Laboratory.
Preliminary demonstrations of the Radiance Process indicate that the Process has
potential application in five major industrial areas: semiconductors, photomasks, hard
disks, flat panel displays and molds and dies. Other potential applications for the Process
include: aerospace, automotive, electronics and biomedical applications.

Donald V. Lassiter, Ph.D.
Consultant Environmental & Occupational Health
San Jose, CA
In 1985-86, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) sponsored a study to
identify waste minimization practices of member companies. Several years
later, it was decided to update this initial study and to sponsor an on-going
effort to provide the industry with "benchmark" data and information
concerning pollution prevention and waste minimization activities. Because
the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) database had just been initiated under SARA
(Title 111, Sect. 313), it was decided to use these EPA data as "baseline
benchmarks" with respect to overall performance of the industry, as well as
individual company and facility performance. An Annual Report has been
prepared since 1987 containing both summary and detailed data derived,
primarily, from the TRI database. These data have been used in a variety of
ways to address industry concerns regarding pollution prevention and waste
minimization practices and for tracking the releases and transfers of
individual chemical substances. The data have been used during 1997 to
document the emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPS) on a facility by
facility basis in an effort to tract the commitment of all semiconductor
companies to become minor sources of HAPs by the year 2000.

ISO 14001
Kay Higby
Akzo Nobel Chemicals Inc.
The LeMoyne site of Akzo Nobel Chemicals Inc. was the first chemical facility in the United
States to receive ISO 14001 registration. The surveillance audit was conducted in March 1996
and at the conclusion of the audit the site was recommended for registration by BVQI. Initially
the site was registered to the DRAFT ISO 14001 standard, but was automatically issued a
certificate of approval to the ISO 14001 Standard when it was approved in September of 1996.
The site decided to pursue the ISO registration based on many factors:
The site felt its Environmental Management System was good, but was interested in any means
to improve the system and the site was committed to good environmental management and
performance. When investigated, it was found that ISO 14001 has the following advantages:
• it is a global standard
• it offers good document control
• it takes the environmental aspects of products into account
• it can be integrated with other ISO management standards
The LeMoyne site had previously established a goal of obtaining ISO 9002 registration during
the 1st quarter of 1996, and determined it may eliminate the potential for rework if an effort to
obtain registrations to both standards was made simultaneously, due to the many areas of
similarity and overlap between the two standards.
ISO 14001 is a preventative measure, not reactive. It includes provisions of continual
improvement, which parallel the site commitment to Total Quality Management. Many of the
existing site systems are needed to meet the requirements of ISO 14001, including the
Environmental Compliance Plan, Environmental Training Commitment, Training Plan,
Management Commitment to Excellence, Annual Quality Plan and Planning Process, Emergency
Action Plan, Procedures and other requirements of OSHA 1910.119, ect. Due to the existence of
these and other documents and programs at the site, the registration process was able to be
completed in a relatively timely manner.

Implementation of ISO 14001 in Small and Medium Sized Organizations
Gordon E. Bellen
Abstract
The international standard for environmental management, ISO 14001, was formally
adopted by ISO in September of 1996. This standard, and several supporting guidelines
in the 14000 series, are based on the highly successful ISO 9000 series of standards for
quality management. The ISO 14001 standard defines the minimum elements for an
effective environmental management system. These include: planning, environmental
aspects, legal and other requirements, objectives and targets, the management program,
structure and responsibility, training, communication, documentation, document control,
operational control, emergency preparedness and response, monitoring and measurement,
corrective and preventive action, records, ems audit, and management review.
Implementing management systems like ISO 9000 and 14000 can be difficult for some
organizations because of documentation requirements and organizational culture changes.
There continues to be concern that small businesses, who could potentially benefit the
most, will have trouble implementing these systems. The USEPA sponsored the
development of a guidance document specifically targeted to small and medium sized
business. This document was developed with help from a number of small and medium
business interests who participated in an ISO 14000 implementation project managed by
NSF International. This manual and related information on ISO 14000 will be presented
at this presentation.

Abstract
Southwest Ohio Regional Printers Project
Larry Kramer
Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Sciences
Between October 1995 and October 1997, the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Sciences,
Inc. (IAMS) and the Printing Industries Association of Southern Ohio (PIASO) conducted a joint
pollution prevention project. IAMS is a not-for-profit organization with an established pollution
prevention, technical assistance program. PIASO is a trade organization with about 230
members, primarily lithographic printers.
The purpose of the project was to promote the acceptance of pollution prevention technologies
by the lithographic printing industry in the Southwest Ohio area. The three major tasks of the
project included in-the-shop assessments, creation of a resource manual, and a training event at
the Institute. This presentation summarizes key project results and presents some qualitative
observations on working with the printing industry.
On-site assessments were conducted at 13 printing companies. The companies implemented a
wide variety of waste reduction techniques depending on the individual company circumstances
and needs. Most of the firms had already switched to low VOC blanket wash. Almost all the
printing companies visited had adopted "basic" pollution prevention measures such as alcohol
substitution. Larger, newer facilities incorporated many "advanced" features and produced
relatively little waste. For example, many of the medium and larger companies were
implementing computer to plate technology. Thus, photographic wastes have been reduced.
Almost all the printers visited recycled their waste materials, e.g. aluminum, silver, paper, for
added revenue. Areas with significant opportunities for waste reduction include supplier
relations, computerized data and cost control systems, and employee involvement.
Qualitative observations about working with the printers include a willingness to share best
practices despite a very competitive industry. Unless there is an immediate compliance issue,
there is little interest in environmental issues or pollution prevention. However, there was strong
interest in improving efficiency through process control. Most of these modern process-control
techniques also result in waste reduction.

DEMANUFACTURING:
A NEW MARKET OPPORTUNITY FOR USED AND OBSOLETE COMPUTERS
Gregory P. Cobbs
Rutgers University Center for Demanufacturing and Urban Economic Development
180 University Avenue, Newark, New Jersey 07102
Abstract
Demanufacturing represents a new form of industrial activity that requires a critical
supply of equipment for processing and a steady workforce. Urban areas provide a natural
locus for the siting of demanufacturing firms given their established collection and
transportation infrastructures, and proximity to an on-going supply of used and obsolete
goods
This paper briefly examines the role of demanufacturing activity within urban
areas, and proposes a business model for the demanufacturing industry that matches
corporate donors of equipment with demanufacturing firms and community based
organizations.

Abstract: Parris Island's Comprehensive Pollution Prevention Program
Timothy J Harrington
Parris Island's waste prevention program is part of a comprehensive program for multi-media
compliance. From procurement through disposal, the Depot population is dedicated to
eliminating losses from its operations. Affirmative procurement actions, process modification
and source reduction methods have all been used to varying degrees to improve the effectiveness
of the program and lessen the impact of our actions on the environment. It is through the careful
efforts of all the Marines, Sailors and Civilians, in all areas of operation, that we have striven to
conserve and protect the natural resources that have been entrusted to us.
Mr. Harrington is currently the Assistant Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Officer
for Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. As Parris Island is a National Priorities List site,
he is primarily involved in managing the Installation Restoration Program. Previously, Mr.
Harrington had been assigned as the Depot's Pollution Prevention Manager, overseeing much of
the growth and development of the program. Prior to coming to work on Parris Island, Mr.
Harrington served in a variety of billets throughout the Marine Corps as a Logistics Officer.

A "Bottoms-Up" Approach to Technical Order Modification and Process
Substitution - Project TRIAD
Scot Bryant, SAIC, David Bury, Capt. John Lindell
Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) must modify more than 40,000 technical
orders (TO), maintenance manuals, and other instructions to: 1) eliminate the use of
Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS); and 2) eliminate or reduce the use of 24 specified
Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) chemicals. WR-ALC has identified 150 processes to be
so modified, using a "bottoms-up" approach. The approach requires: 1) finding
validated alternatives, 2) performing necessary tests on alternatives, 3) developing
implementation plans, 4) changing TO requirements, and 5) implementing alternatives.
WR-ALC completed the first step by establishing their 1995 WR-ALC Report, which
identifies targeted processes and chemicals. The second step of the process will be: 1)
evaluating actual shop processes; and 2) populating a relational database linking parts,
processes, and the governing TO information. The database will support development of
a Process Area Roadmap to guide the remainder of the effort.
Based on the Process Area Roadmap, 19 targeted process areas will be evaluated for
possible existing alternative technologies. Current and previous studies will be accessed
and, if there is sufficient information to support and alternative recommendation,
implementation plans will be developed, a cost analysis performed, and the associated
TOs modified. Finally, the alternative will be installed and implemented.
If data is insufficient to support a recommendation(s), test protocols will be developed.
Following WR-ALC approval, performance and specification testing will be performed to
determine validity of alternative(s) for targeted processes. If an alternative proves
satisfactory, it will be implemented. If not, the process will be re-evaluated.
In conclusion, previous efforts to eliminate ODS and hazardous material requirements
from TOs were down "top-down," starting with the TO requirements and recommending
alternatives (often without any hands-on knowledge of the processes). A "bottoms-up"
approach is initiated at the process and the effort continues through implementation,
ensuring that TO modifications are reflected in practice.

Overcoming Biases Against Pollution Prevention Investments
Barry Leopold
Program Manager
Science Applications International Corporation
Abstract
This presentation is designed to demonstrate how traditional accounting and capital
budgeting practices used by industry "stacks the deck" against pollution prevention (P2)
investments and present strategies for overcoming existing investment biases.
Managers within manufacturing and service organizations who seek to implement P2
innovations are faced with a variety of obstacles. Chief among these are financial and
accounting systems that (1) do not attribute environmental costs to the processes,
activities, and products that generate them, (2) calculate costs and savings over too
limited a period of time, or (3) do not account for the full spectrum of environmental
costs at all. These practices raise investment barriers P2 investments in particular due to
the fact that these potential investment often pay for themselves through savings within
these misappropriated or overlooked environmental cost categories.
Leveling the investment playing field to allow P2 projects to fairly compete for scarce
investment resources requires that managers expand the ways in which they calculate
investment returns. Activity Based Costing practices can allow managers to uncover the
full costs of current operations and the savings P2 can generate. Expanding the time
horizon with which investment returns are calculated will capture recurrent areas of
costs/savings (such as ongoing reduced disposal costs). Expanding the analysis to
include the full range of environmental costs (including contingent costs) will encompass
areas of savings commonly resulting from the initiation of pollution prevention.
Together, these strategies will enable managers to recognize the contribution that
pollution prevention can make to the bottom line and help eliminate barriers to P2
implementation.

Using Activity-Based Costing to Evaluate Pollution Prevention Opportunities
George R. Corbin
Abstract
Traditional ledger-based accounting methods are of little value to those who are seeking
to evaluate the economic viability of potential pollution prevention (P2) opportunities.
Activity-based costing (ABC) is a powerful tool that enables P2 practitioners to quantify
the true costs of their waste-generating production activities, and thereby identify
opportunities for improvements and their associated economic benefits. This paper offers
a five-step methodology to familiarize prospective P2 practitioners with the mechanics of
ABC as it applies to pollution prevention. It is intended to serve as a primer on how
ABC can be employed to identify, evaluate, prioritize, and ultimately justify the
investment in P2 opportunities.

Broward County's Experiences with Metal Finishing Facilities Best Management Practices
Abstract
Jeffery Halsey
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are specific procedures a business can follow to ensure
operation efficiency and compliance with environmental requirements. Twenty-six (26) facilities
in Broward County perform metal finishing operations: seventeen (17) are electroplating or
other surface finishing businesses, and nine (9) are circuit board manufacturers. A 44 page
technical document "Pollution Prevention and BMPs for Metal Finishing Facilities" (P2-BMP)
was developed by DNRP in 1994.
Each facility developed a P2 plan by following the recommended criteria contained in the P2-
BMP. The total estimated annual savings to participating facilities, resulting from
implementation of the P2 Program, was approximately $670,000. The following examples
illustrate what some companies did:
/ Implementation of a "NO-CLEAN" technology. The result was the elimination of terpene
usage, one hazardous waste stream, three solid waste streams (resin, charcoal, filters) and
approximately 70% reduction in the facility VOC emission rate;
J Eliminated glycol ethers use by implementing a water-based process. This method reduced
VOC emissions and eliminated the need to report on the Toxic Chemical Release Form
(Form R);
/ Replaced electroless copper with direct metalization process. This procedure eliminated the
use of cyanide copper and formaldehyde - extremely hazardous substances - and most
chelated metals, which decrease the amount of sludge generated.
J Implemented methods to reduce isopropanol air emissions by 30%;
~ Reduced waste by recovering metals in process solutions and cleaning acids by
electrowinning of batch treatment;
y Extended usage of Ion Exchange technology to produce deionized water for rinse and plating
solutions, recovered chemicals from rinse water, removed contaminants from plating baths,
or wastewater process to comply with stringent effluent limits;
/ Designed and implemented "closed loop" system for rinse water as a first step of long term
zero discharge of wastewater by some facilities;
/ Recycled plant effluent wastewater through a reverse osmosis system to reuse water in
process rinse tanks. Project current water usage will be reduced by 50%; and
/ Reduced up to 75% of metal contaminated sludge quantity by improving the wastewater
pretreatment process and introducing filter-press and dryer technologies.

HVOF Sprayed Coatings for Navy Jet Engine Component Repair
Presented by:
Donald S. Parker
NAVAL AVIATION DEPOT
NAS Jacksonville, Florida
ABSTRACT
Continuing improvements to the mechanical properties of HVOF sprayed coatings has resulted
in principal engine manufacturers utilizing this technology to implement new overhaul repairs for
components. New techniques in powder manufacturing, new powder materials and new
application techniques have made repairs possible for components that were either restricted to
the limits of chrome or nickel plating or have been scrapped because no repair was feasible.
General Electric TF34, F404 and the Pratt and Whitney J52 aircraft engine components are being
repaired with HVOF sprayed Tungsten Carbide, Tribaloy T-800 / T-400, and Inconel 625/718.
Typical repairs involve bearing bores on main shafts, dimensional restorations and clearance
control applications. Parameter optimization is performed by evaluating a taguchi matrix of
variables such as gas ratio's, and spray distances to develop the best mechanical properties.
Macro and micro hardness are evaluated in relation to tensile bond strength and microstructure.
Optimized parameters are published in a repair document for use in the production shop during
engine overhaul once all mechanical properties, grinding and finishing requirements are
achieved. This paper will provide examples of three different coating qualifications
accomplished at the Naval Aviation Depot Jacksonville.

GOING OUTSIDE THE BOX TO PROMOTE
POLLUTION PREVENTION IN FLEXOGRAPHY
by Fred Shapiro
P-F Technical Services, Inc.
Traditional approaches to technology bear fruit, but they do not breach barriers. By
investigating and trying new materials, and technology to improve the drying/curing of water
based inks, it is possible to expand the scope of usage for alternative ink technology in flexible
packaging.
This presentation describes trials with new film resins and ultrasonic drying technology,
both of which demonstrated much greater acceptance of water inks for packaging covering a
broader range of products for the marketplace with acceptable quality characteristics.
The trials were performed at a facility which is not sophisticated, but leans heavily on the
entrepreneurial instincts of its owner. We were very successful using the new technologies. With
success at this level, the innovative approach bodes well for larger, more technically staffed and
competently trained facilities.

Assessments of Industrial Manufacturers" (Session No. 34)
Since 1988, the University of Tennessee EPA-sponsored Waste Minimization
Assessment Center and the DOE-sponsored Industrial Assessment Center have
provided no-cost pollution prevention engineering studies for regional
manufacturers. For both programs, small teams of engineering faculty and students
visit plant sites to collect data needed to formulate economically attractive pollution
nrpvention measures for recommendation to clients. Limitations in time and
financial resources have resulted in the development of an intensive, structured
method for the completion of quality assessments for the manufacturers served.
This presentation will highlight the development and use of a specialized
questionnaire, interview techniques, and plant inspection methods which are
needed to result in effective pollution prevention assessments.

Integrated Environmental Tracking and Reporting:
Razing and Reinventing the Regulatory Structure
Susan Helms, Tellus Institute
Current environmental reporting and monitoring requirements reflect a medium-specific,
patchwork of pollution control regulations. Multiple offices within federal and state agencies,
operating autonomously, define conflicting and fragmented reporting requirements that impede
pollution prevention (P2) progress and measurement and provide little or no value added to the
internal management decision-making of regulated facilities. Consequently, stakeholders
representing industry, government and public interest groups all have expressed interest in
reforming reporting requirements to achieve three concurrent goals: 1) developing the ability to
track chemical emissions across multiple media, 2) creating consistency and eliminating
excessive paperwork, and 3) making the data more accessible and interpretable by users. A
fourth goal, in the view of some, is to package the information in a way that will benefit internal
business decision-making.
Current environmental reporting requirements are tied to specific media (e.g., air
emissions, water discharges, and hazardous waste generation), the data for which are collected by
separate departments, each with distinct reporting formats. As a result, a complete, interpretable
picture of the environmental performance of a specific facility is virtually impossible to
assemble. An integrated reporting template will enable a multimedia assessment that depicts
actual reductions versus reductions achieved through shifting chemicals across media.
Existing reporting requirements also are inconsistent from a technical and a logistical
standpoint. They differ with respect to assumptions used to estimate emissions, sampling
requirements, chemicals covered, and locations to measure. Discrepancies also exist in
measurement units, due dates and level of data aggregation. A uniform structure that eliminates
reporting redundancies will make the information reported more tractable while minimizing
paperwork for all stakeholders. Regulators will have a streamlined system that can be used, for
example, to check actual vs. permitted releases, and the public will be able to access the wide
variety of reported environmental information all in one place.
While business, regulators and the public will benefit from a new system, business stands
to gain from a full accounting of the chemical throughput. At present, from a facility's
perspective, information currently reported to comply with environmental regulations is of
limited value to routine management decisions. Integrated environmental reporting that includes
throughput data is a valuable decision-support tool for process improvement, materials
substitution, and other product re-design. Furthermore, it enables facilities to track progress
toward environmental goals, while simplifying data collection and use.
With support from EPA, Tellus Institute is developing a model integrated environmental
reporting system to evaluate the feasibility of such a system. In Phase 1 of the project, our scope
includes the reporting forms filed under five major statutes. Data elements from each of these
sources are being incorporated into a working template and pilot tested at five New Jersey
facilities. In subsequent phases of this project, we will investigate how to make the template
more universal and adaptable to state-specific reporting requirements, as well as how best to
achieve regulatory "equivalency" with existing report formats. Follow-up research will inform
EPA's P2 policy and regulatory development, while continuing to explore the benefits to
business, communities and regulators of consolidated environmental reporting.

EPA REGION 4 POLLUTION PREVENTION CONFERENCE
TITLE: State Program Pollution Prevention Regulatory Integration:
Barriers and Incentives
SUBMITTED BY: Dina Li, Science Applications International Corporation
PHONE NUMBER: (703)318-4603
ABSTRACT:
Over the past few years, a number of States have begun exploring methods for integrating
pollution prevention into permitting. The integration process has proven to be both
frustrating and rewarding. This paper will present the "lessons learned" from two series
of workshops designed and facilitated by SAIC for USEPA on integrating pollution
prevention into state regulatory programs. The audience was comprised of State, local,
and EPA Regional permit writers, compliance, and enforcement staff from the Air,
Water, and RCRA programs. The paper: 1) discusses the barriers and incentives to
integrating pollution prevention into permits, 2) provides a general overview of State
integration activities to date, and 3) provides recommendations on how State agencies
should pursue integration.

Pollution Prevention Opportunities Created by the 1990 Clean Air Act
C. Flint Webb, P.E.
Abstract
The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments create many opportunities for pollution prevention.
• Best Available Control Technology (BACT) and Lowest Achievable Emission Rate
(LAER) provisions will force facilities to minimize their emissions and opens the
door to innovative ways to reduce pollution.
• Emissions trading thresholds in the New Source Review and Acid Rain programs will
encourage facilities to identify ways to limit the emissions so that they can generate
offsets.
• To assure that they are in compliance with the Act, facilities need to have an accurate
emissions inventory. Having this inventory will help them identify pollution
prevention opportunities.
• In an effort to get below the Major Source thresholds, facilities will undoubtedly find
ways to decrease the use of Hazardous Air Pollutants and Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants.
• Fees associated with Facility Permit based on the level of emissions helps to
determine a value for Pollution Prevention (P2) projects.
• The Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards Force companies
to look at different ways of doing things including P2 options.
• Risk Management Plans require facilities to evaluate their use of toxic substances and
in doing so they will find ways to reduce the impact of potential releases, and reduce
pollution.
• Any time compliance costs are increased, P2 becomes more attractive.
But there are also ways in which the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments create
disincentives to undergo pollution prevention projects.
• Even a change to a less toxic substance, or lower VOC chemical could open up the
Title V permit; adding time and cost.
• Technology based standards such as BACT, LAER, MACT and Reasonably
Available Control Technologies provisions make making it difficult to evaluate the
value of a P2 options.
• The trading of actual emissions in order to increase potential emissions and emission
offset provisions encourages the status quo.
This paper will discuss these incentives and disincentives for P2 created by the Clean Air
Act.

Pollution Prevention Guide to Using Cutting Fluids in Metal Machining Operations
Thomas F. McClure
Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Sciences, Incorporated
ABSRACT
Metal Removal Fluids (a.k.a. Cutting Fluids) are major manufacturing sources of pollution. The
EPA will prepare and disseminate a pollution prevention-based guide to selection, use, and
disposal of metal removal fluids. Involvement by the metal removal fluid manufacturers and
metal removal users, use of industry developed criteria, demonstration both in the Institute of
Advanced Manufacturing Sciences, Incorporated (IAMS) machining laboratory and in factory
operations will provide an effective approach for the creation of data. The generation of this
data coupled with its incorporation into the ongoing education, training, and outreach programs
of IAMS will increase demand for environmentally friendly metal removal technologies. It also
ensures ongoing communication and up-dating of information as IAMS incorporates this
information into technology transfer and training activities.

Zero VOC Polymeric Binders for Aerospace and Industrial Coatings
Presented by Dr. Henry Paris
Authors: Dr. Fenghua Deng'*, Zhenguo Liu1, David Bush2, Henry Paris3, Chuck Eckert2,
Charles Liotta1
Abstract
The implementation of new very low VOC polymeric top coating technology is critically
important to both aerospace as well as industrial and consumer product coating
applications. Heretofore, polymeric coating processes evolve VOC during
polymerization and application, due to chemical changes and the use of volatile solvents
to control viscosity and achieve the best durability. While water based coatings and
conventional powder coatings are being used, limitations remain on durability and other
characteristics in certain applications. In this presentation we review the status of
competitive coating technology and discuss a revolutionary, essentially zero VOC
polymer binder developed in our laboratory using specially synthesized prepolymer
materials. The characteristics of the binder include essentially zero VOC, very low
viscosity and melting ranges suitable for powder coatings. We review performance and
physical characteristics of these coating binders that are related to polyester, polyurethane
and other polymer chemistries.

Powder Coating At Kelly Air Force Base
Douglas H. Neale, Ph.D., Michael Surratt
It has been long recognized that the majority of hazardous materials/waste introduced into DOD
installation industrial base can be attributed to corrosion prevention and control processes. Most
weapon systems and commodities in the Air Force are being coated to protect them from
corrosion using conventional protective coating systems such as chromate conversion coatings,
primers topcoats, plating, etc. Many of these coatings release volatile organic compounds
(VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAP) during application/curing and with use, generate
liquid/solid toxic wastes.
Powder coating is a dry process without the need for solvents during any part of the coating
operation (mixing, application, or clean-up), thus eliminating solvent emissions. Additionally,
powders used in powder coating are usually classified as nonhazardous, thus eliminating
hazardous waste generation. Another plus for this project is that powder coatings do not require
a chromated primer. The powder coating is applied directly over a chemical conversion coating
eliminating waste streams associated with coating removal/disposal of chromated primer residue.
In an effort to reduce pollution and hazardous waste while providing corrosion protection on
select parts San Antonio Air Logistics Center (SA-ALC), with support from the Air Force
Corrosion Program Office (AFCPO), initiated a pilot study of powder coating on aerospace
components SA-ALC, through the AFCPO, contracted Science Application International
Corporation (SAIC) to evaluate powder coating technology for select metal substrates.
This is a unique venture where the Air Force Corrosion Program Office and an ALC developed a
partnership to jointly expand and integrate powder coating technology in a testing and
production environment. The end-result will not only be the conversion to powder coatings on
select aircraft components but the Air Force will have a full production powder coating line in
which to continue evolving powder coating technology.
The Kelly Air Force Base organization having engineering responsibility (SA-ALC/LD) selected
certain aerospace component that represented the majority of the existing paint shop workload
for the evaluation of powder coating technology. SAIC selected the powders for testing and
conducted laboratory coupon testing to compare the performance of the selected powder coatings
with the performance of coatings currently applied on the selected prototype components.
The system design included a 1). continuously powered overhead conveyor for transporting
parts, 2). a five stage cleaning/pretreatment cabinet, 3). an electric dry-off oven, 4). Two
integrated electrostatic powder coating booths, 5). two independent electrostatic powder
application systems and 6). an electric convection oven for powder coating curing.
Independent laboratory testing provided data that in most cases powder coating can provide
performance and corrosion protection comparable to or exceeding performance requirements of
military specification coatings.

ABSTRACT
Weyerhaeuser's Flint River facility is the first forest products facility accepted into EPA's Project
XL Program. The Final Progress Agreement (FPA) was signed on January 17,1997.
Since then, Weyerhaeuser's Flint River Operations has been diligently working on:
• Implementation of the Minimum Impact Manufacturing (MIM) Phase IV projects
• Beginning investigations into certain feasibility studies of the MIM Phase V projects; and
• Jointly working with Stakeholders and FPA Signatories to incorporate the FPA agreement terms
into the facility's environmental permits.
Presently, Flint River Operation's environmental performance through June *97 has been equal to or
better than the MIM Phase IV FPA performance goals.
Through the XL project, Flint River will work toward specific pollution-reduction goals, helping to make
progress toward "closed loop" operations that pass the tests of customer satisfaction and technical and
economic feasibility.

Peer-to-Peer Business Mentoring Program
for
Reducing Heavy Metal Wastewater Discharge
Santa Clara County, CA
Pollution Prevention Program
by Rob D'Arcy
Abstract
The Peer-to-Peer Mentor program is a project funded by the U.S. EPA Environmental
Technology Initiative. Its purpose is to build "technology transfer bridges" between businesses,
which facilitates the exchange of pollution prevention (P2) techniques and technologies using a
business-to-business mentor approach in the printed circuit board (PCB) and metal finishing
(MF) industries. The mentor approach involves matching businesses that have successfully
implemented P2 techniques (Mentors) with businesses that are in need of P2 assistance
(Mentees). The mentoring process utilizes the most credible source of P2 techniques and
technology; business peers. This paper focuses on the "how to " of the Peer-to-Peer Business
Mentoring Program for Reducing Heavy Metal Wastewater Discharge (P2 Mentor Program).
Through a variety of venues, such as workshops, on-site tours, one-on-one meetings,
telephone follow-up, and peer-to-peer mentoring the Santa Clara County Pollution Prevention
Program is successfully motivating local firms to embrace P2 for its cost saving and efficiency
benefits. The benefits of incorporating pollution prevention strategies into every step of the
process increases efficiency, eliminates waste, uses resources more effectively, and minimizes or
reduces the need to manage hazardous waste.

Abstract
Pollution Prevention and POTWs
Elizabeth Brown
Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Sciences
As a unique unit of local government, Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs), are caught in
the middle. They have permit limits and are subject to regulatory enforcement, while at the same
time they regulate industry through pretreatment programs. Pollution prevention can be a very
important tool, both in meeting their own limits and in working with industry. POTWs can (1)
apply pollution prevention in their own operations and facilities, (2) promote pollution
prevention with their industrial users, and (3) use pollution prevention to address problem
pollutants through community outreach programs.
Experience in Ohio suggests a range of approaches:
• pollution prevention training for POTW staff,
• POTW-sponsored training and events for industrial users,
• referrals of industrial users to technical assistance providers,
• conducting facility assessments of POTW operations, and
• partnering in community outreach programs.
There is an additional motivation for POTWs with Combined Sewer Overflows to develop
pollution prevention programs. Pollution prevention is one of the nine minimum controls
specified by EPA in the CSO Control Strategy. The author is working with the Ohio River
Sanitation Commission to develop a pollution prevention initiative to support these POTWs in
the Ohio River Valley.

Pollution Prevention Alternatives To Conventional
Chemical Treatment Of HVAC Systems
William Sarnecky
Abstract
With the continuing emphasis on reducing the amounts of chemicals in waters being discharged
to the environment, successful pollution preventing, non-chemical treatment processes are slowly
continuing to gain acceptance as the preferable way to assure compliance with EPA and OSHA
regulations.
The Virginia Office of Pollution Prevention has investigated these technologies by reviewing
available literature, discussions with users, vendors, and independent analysts; and tours of
several successful installations in Virginia where non-chemical treatment have been successfully
used in HVAC systems. The two environmentally friendly treatment systems discussed will be
magnetic water treatment and the use of ozone treatment. Advantages and disadvantages of each
type of system will be discussed. The multimedia aspects of each system, reduced air emissions,
water usage and discharges, and waste minimization will also be covered.
Successful installations of non-chemical treatment (measured in terms of scale prevention,
corrosion control, and biocide control) seems to correlate with the severity of all variables
effecting a specific HVAC system. Water quality parameters (calcium hardness, pH, total
alkalinity, and total dissolved solids) obviously would strongly influence the type of treatment
needed. But operating conditions such as temperature and air quality entering the cooling tower
also influence the probability of non-chemical treatment being a success.

Water Recycling in Textile
Dyeing/Rinsing Operations
Donald A. Brown
Abstract:
The United States Textile Industry is faced with a difficult problem with the wastewater
generated in dyeing processes. Of special concern are those wastes discharged from the
production of cotton and cotton blend fabrics. These fabrics are for the most part dyed
with a process in which there is a poor "yield" of the added dyestuffs and the required
dyeing auxiliaries are characterized by high concentrations of non-biodegradable salts.
The end result of the discharges are unacceptable color levels and toxicity in the receiving
streams, respectively. Color removal can be achieved but there are substantial capital and
operational costs involved. Likewise, technologies exist which can remove the salts from
the waste stream, but at prohibitively high costs. Whether removal is at the receiving
Public Owned Treatment Works or on a private industrial site, the incurred treatment
costs will adversely impact the industry.
Filtration systems may offer a solution to this problem. A series of pilot studies and
economic analysis indicate water and chemical reuse possibilities. (Woerner, D.L.,
"Utilization of Membrane Filtration for Dyebath Re-use and Pollution Prevention" paper
presented at Cotton Incorporated Conference, Raleigh N.C., November 11, 1993.) A
study conducted by Sara Lee Knot Products on a small pilot scale indicated that
consistent treatment and effective reuse can be achieved with a return of investment on
the historically cost prohibitive equipment. The basis of this methodology is to treat only
selected "drops" of the dye cycle, resulting in a significant reduction in treatment volume
as well as capturing the "drops" with the majority of the waste load. With this approach,
less capital for equipment is required for the reduced volumes. Furthermore, the
permeate from the filters will be suitable for reuse. More specifically, 96% of the sodium
chloride in solution can be separated from the dyes, suspended solids, and other dyeing
assistants. Instead of further costly refinements, previous trials have shown that this
solution can be re-introduced to a dye cycle. This use would save the cost of the sodium
chloride, the cost of that amount of process water, and the cost associated with the
disposal of the wastewater. With the associated volume reduction of the colored bodies,
suspended solids, and metals, a dramatic downsizing of this treatment train can also be
achieved.
With the successful completion of the small pilot, a small production scale system was
installed in a manufacturing plant.
The goal of this project was to establish the production operation of this technology for
an extended period. Its goal was to further refine the costs and technology to optimally
reuse the recovered brine solution and effectively treat the concentrated color bodies.
This paper represents the findings from these two studies.

Textile Alliance for Pollution Prevention and Industrial Networking (TAPP-IN)
Aarti Sharma (RTI), Jesse Baskir (RTI), Brian Westfall (EPA)
Over the last decade, government agencies have sought to help businesses adopt pollution prevention
(P2) approaches to address their environmental issues. Prior work in P2 has suggested that
companies are more responsive to P2 information received through familiar channels such as
business-to-business contacts and professional associations as compared to information provided
directly by government agencies. The objective of the TAPP-IN project was to test this hypothesis,
as to whether more effective information transfer channels for small and medium-sized businesses
could be built by forming private business partnerships. Private-sector partnerships or networks,
especially between large and small businesses, could be an effective means of transferring such
pollution prevention (P2) experience and expertise through shared information and a focus on
common concerns.
Using funds from the Environmental Technology Initiative (EH), the US Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) National Risk Management Research Laboratoiy supported the TAPP-IN project
through a cooperative agreement with the Research Triangle Institute (RTI). The goal of the project
was to support and evaluate a sustainable partnership for P2 information and technology transfer,
formed through the extension of activities in an existing partnership, or by forming a new group.
With the assistance of the American Textile Manufacturer's Institute (ATMI) 'Encouraging
Environmental Excellence (E3)' task force group, RTI formed a core group of participants for this
project. The group identified three primary activities, which RTI subsequently helped to implement,
working with representatives of the textile industry:
1. Set-up and maintain an electronic mail based network (P2-TEX) to link textile
industry experts and companies for question-answer communication on
environmental, pollution prevention, and other issues related to the textile industry.
2. Develop an environmental newsletter to update participants on environmental and
pollution prevention information and success stories related to the textile industry.
3. Perform an environmental auditing benchmarking exercise to allow textile companies
to compare their environmental auditing practices and systems with industry averages
and 'best in class'.
The activities were undertaken in coordination with industry participants and experts, various
associations, universities, and State technical assistance programs. RTI is currently in the process
of transferring some of these activities to other organizations.
The process of identifying, developing, and carrying out these activities helped identify various
factors that define the success or failure of such projects. The paper describes the activities in detail
as well as some of the lessons learned from conducting them.

Development of Environmental Decision Support
Software for the Textile Industry
Tapio Kuusinen
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Don Alexander
Institute of Textile Technology
Abstract
The U.S. textile industry is working cooperatively to develop new technologies to increase its
competitiveness. One of the largest initiatives underway is the American Textile (AMTEX)
Partnership, which includes member companies of the integrated textile complex, the U.S.
Department of Energy, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Textile Resource
Conservation (TreC) Project is the primary component of AMTEX that is approaching
improving textile industry competitiveness by minimizing waste and reducing raw material and
energy consumption in the textile product manufacturing chain.
Emphasis on environmental decision support software development within the TreC project
began as a strategic planning effort for identifying source reduction technology needs. The
realization that hardware is only part of the solution lead to the development of tools to integrate
environmental considerations into a variety of business decision-making contexts. Initial
products were developed by redeploying and customizing existing software products for textile-
specific applications.
One of the environmental decision support software products developed under TreC is a tool to
assist in the design process to help identify pollution prevention opportunities. P2-EDGE was
originally developed to provide environmental design guidelines for facility construction and
renovation. A textile product design module has been developed to help textile designers
identify pollution prevention opportunities as early as possible in the design process. Since the
textile industry is the largest consumer of compressed air in the U.S., a compressed air
optimization module is being developed to help engineers design and upgrade compressed air
systems to maximize performance while minimizing energy consumption.
A second software tool under development is based on an existing life cycle assessment model,
augmented with a cost allocation capability. The TRIM software allows users to adopt a life
cycle perspective to increasing resource utilization (and decreasing waste generation) in the
design and operation of textile manufacturing systems. TRIM tracks resources flows - including
materials, energy, and cost - to allow comprehensive comparisons of complex manufacturing
systems. The first case study used to illustrate the analytical capabilities of TRIM is a
comparison of conventional aqueous textile dyeing versus a near-commerical non-aqueous
dyeing system based on high pressure carbon dioxide.

Increase your Profits with Pollution Prevention & Comprehensive Facility Audits
S. Ram Shrivastava , P.E.
Abstract
This presentation addresses a comprehensive audit approach which has been utilized in various
industrial plants. The paper also presents anaerobic waste treatment technologies that can reduce
sludge generation and produce energy from high strength Industrial wastewater.
Case histories will be presented to illustrate how a comprehensive facility audit approach can
identify opportunities for conservation of energy and reduce operating costs. These projects were
funded by the NYS Energy Office and Utility demand side management program. Larsen's
approach included a comprehensive overview of all the operations including the use of energy
chemicals, water and wastewater issues.
Our findings in one project resulted in identifying four actions requiring total investment of
$160,272, and annual savings of $238, 898 or average payback of 8 months. The largest item
was the recycling of wastewater with potential payback of 6 months. This step will reduce
loading on the Municipal wastewater treatment plant and allow the reuse of expensive chemicals
in the plant process.
This approach demonstrates the benefits of conducting a comprehensive overview of the
industrial processes to minimize waste and prevent pollution. The money saved through this
process helps to improve the profitability of the plant. Savings achieved through such efforts
increase competitiveness of the Industry while complying with the environmental regulations.

Cutting Fluid Management to Prevent Pollution
and Conserve Resources at Pratt & Whitney
by; Carlos Algarin: Continuous Improvement Manager, and
Randal Norris: ACE Pilot, Pratt & Whitney, Columbus, Georgia
Robert D. Porter Jr.: V.P. Marketing, Porter Systems Inc., Bridgeport, New York
ABSTRACT
The largest component of the total waste stream of metalworking plants is usually spent aqueous
metal cutting and grinding fluids. The major contaminants of these fluids are the tramp oils that
enter the coolant from leaking hydraulic systems and machine lubricants and the solid particulate
(chips and swarf) that are created by the machining process itself. Both of these major contaminants
promote the growth of microorganisms and objectionable odors which necessitate premature
disposal.
At Pratt and Whitney in Columbus Georgia, each machine tool was already equipped with a drac
out conveyer. These automatic conveyers effectively addressed the solids contamination problem
It was therefore decided to install a Porter Systems TRAMP CHAMP tramp oil separator on each
of the 23 machine tools. This resulted in effectively providing each machine tool with its own
automatic, low maintenance coolant recycling system. Instead of requiring costly disposal coolant
life can be extended indefinitely. '
Subsequently, however, it became clear that additional tremendous savings would be realized b
completely separating the valuable titanium and nickel chips that are the by-product of machinu^
so that these alloys would retain their maximum scrap value. It was then recognized that additional
tools commonly used for coolant recycling (i.e. a sump cleaner and a centrifuge type batch coolant
recycling system) could be utilized to achieve the dual objectives of reclaiming used coolant anH
completely segregating valuable nickel and titanium chips.

ABSTRACT: Pollution Prevention Information Resource for Industry Sectors
Smaller manufacturing companies are disproportionately affected by environmental
regulations since they are less likely to have the financial base to attract and retain a
professional environmental staff capable of dealing with such complexity. In the absence
of the most current and best technological information available to produce goods and
services with the lowest environmental impact, these manufacturers are likely to
implement environmental solutions that do not optimize costs, thus reducing their overall
competitiveness.
The World Wide Web is a growing medium for rapidly disseminating critical information
to a tightly focussed audience. This capability can be used to meet much of the
information needs of small and medium manufacturers.
The Pollution Prevention Information Resource for Industry Sectors is a web based tool
developed under a cooperative agreement with the National Institute of Standards and
Technology ( NIST) to provide process improvement information to the electroplating,
printing and metal coating process sectors. This high graphic content system provides
basic process information along with proven waste reduction technologies, case studies
and links to equipment suppliers.

Use of Dendritic Polymers for Designing Low VOC Coatings

Abstract
Efforts to reduce the organic solvent content of coatings must address the fact that the viscosity
of even moderate molecular weight resins may make them impossible to spray without
significant dilution. Formulators typically focus on either reducing the molecular weight of the
resin to permit a reduction in solvent content (high solids coatings) or on creation of latices that
contain higher molecular weight polymer molecules dispersed in water. Reducing the resin
molecular weight, however, can sacrifice coating properties unless the coating in subsequently
crosslinked through a curing reaction. Dendrimers and hyperbranced polymers are a new class of
polymers where the long linear chain molecules typical of conventional polymers are replaced by
a spherical geometry. The low viscosity and high surface functionality of these materials make
them versatile and promising candidates for producing coatings with low volatile organic
compound content, particularly for applications where the use of waterborne coatings may be
problematic. Lower viscosities of these polymers will allow the formulation of high-solids
solvent-borne coatings, while the high functionality of these may allow their use in thermosetting
or curing resins.

Reducing Industrial VOC Emissions With
Water-Reducible Chemical Agent Resistant Coatings
Peter M. Stemniski*, John A. Escarsega*, Jeffrey L. Duncan, Kestutis G. Chesonis
Abstract
Protective coatings with such Army-unique requirements as camouflage and chemical agent
resistance generate Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and hazardous wastes during the
aoolication process. This basic camouflage topcoat, MIL-C-46168, is a two component, solvent-
based Dolvurethane that has a VOC content of 420 g/L and is used on all Army combat vehicles,
aircraft and tactical equipment. Federal and local regulations resulting from the 1990 EPA
Clean Air Act and its amendments restrict the amount of VOCs emitted during the application of
surface coatings and lower limits are anticipated in the future.
The U.S. Army Environmental Center has funded the U.S. Army Research Laboratory Coatings
Research Team to develop and field a camouflage topcoat formulation with a lower VOC
content. This formulation consists of a water-reducible Chemical Agent Resistant Coating
(CARC) that utilizes hydroxyl-functional polyurethane dispersions and water-dispersible
oolvisocyanates. This water-reducible CARC has a VOC content near 220 g/L and has enhanced
weather durability, flexibility, and mar resistance characteristics. Currently this water-reducible
CARC is being field tested at the Letterkenny Army Depot, PA with other testing to be
conducted at Fort Sill, OK and a final formulation should be ready by March 1998 for field use.
Since CARC is used on a wide variety of Department of Defense (DoD) equipment, users
include painting installations across the DoD and original equipment manufacturers. Applying
this water-reducible CARC at military painting installations can reduce the VOC emissions by
approximately four million pounds per year during the application of this coating. The reduction
of VOCs and improved performance properties will potentially avoid costly expenditures such as
the installation of pollution abatement equipment and emission fines while sustaining all Army
and Department of Defense mission requirements.
