Kirsten, I'm not sure that this will really help for this project but may be of some interest to you anyway...I work in collaboration with a research organisation called the Centre for Design at RMIT (Royal melbourne Institute of Technology) and they worked with a dishwasher manufactutrer to 'redesign' a dishwasher to be more environmentally sustainable. Here is the website address for information regarding this particular product There is however a life cycle analysis which has already been done on the comparison between a paper, polystyrene and ceramic cup which you may want to get hold of. The publication to find it in is 'The LCA Source book" written by SustainAbility, SPOLD and Business in the Environment. The consultancy who did the LCA is called TAUW Infra Consult BV and their www site is I had difficulty opening this just at prsent but maybe something wrong with server or something as I got through the other day. Their postal address is Handelskade 11, 7417 DE, Postbus 479, 7400 AL Deventer, Netherlands tel - +31 (5700) 99911 fax +31 (5700) 99888. Another great site all about LCA's which also gives you lists and lists of LCA's done all over the world is this also has a link to TAUW. Hope this is useful!!

Both of the places I have lived in recently (San Francisco and Dublin, Ohio) have had trouble with sewage overflows into the bay/river nearby. In this case it seems that it is better to keep extra vegetative and degradable matter out of the (disposal) sewer system to keep the fish happy (not that they are going to be all that happy with the overflows anyway; as you know, the degrading veggie matter uses up a lot of oxygen as it decomposes). Also- a quick plug for composting. I gave a friend of mine a few pieces of a christmas cactus that I have had for over 10 years. She planted her starts in her own kitchen compost, and within a year or 2 her plant was 3 times the size of mine, and blooms much more regularly and fully- with the exact same genetic material- impressive. ljk From p2tech-owner Mon Jun 2 12:15:09 1997 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by cedar.cic.net (8.8.5/CICNet) id LAA03913 for p2tech-out; Mon, 2 Jun 1997 11:21:04 -0400 (EDT) Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Mon, 2 Jun 1997 10:20:56 -0500 Message-ID: <000D3210.3356@radian.com> From: Maya_Shah@radian.com (Maya Shah) Subject: Re[2]: Garbage Diposals & Dishwashers To: p2tech@great-lakes.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: cc:Mail note part Sender: owner-p2tech@great-lakes.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: p2tech@great-lakes.net I agree with everyone that comoposting is the best alternative.

As a result, BEP is in the middle of a series of training seminars for the mines on hazardous waste management and minimization. We developed a "Mine Guide for Hazardous Waste Management" which explains compliance and waste minimization options. We also have a training handout which runs through various waste streams and identifies waste min options. Since the focus of the seminar was preparation for the haz waste inspections the materials focus mainly on equipment maintenance and lab wastes not exempt under bevill. I'll send you a copy of these materials and let me know if you want the mine guide on disc. I'll also enclose several case studies which we have developed at mine sites in Nevada. One addresses a cabinet parts washer and the other an antifreeze recyling unit. I also have a case study on solvent substitution at a Nevada mine. We have an old newsletter which discusses on board secondary filtration of oil at a Rayrock mine which reduced oil consumption by 30% which I'll send you. One area which is not well addressed in our materials is dust prevention. We are developing a training program know which will address dust in the desert and will emphasize dust prevention plans to avoid unnecessary trafic and sources of emissions. I'll have Darrell Soyars, our Air Quality Engineer send you these materials as they are developed. I don't know if Idaho has a mining association. but we've found the Nevada Mining Association to be a great help in reaching the mining community.

Diesel should have a similar solubility. Separation can be improved by addition of salts to the aqueous phase. Even without the addition of salts, the water would contain minor amounts of petroleum product which likely could be handled by a sewage treatment plant.

But there are indoor composting units. It's a container that's maybe 3 feet by 2 feet and it contains organic substances and worms! So you could deposit all your organic waste in it. The worms use it as fuel and would you be left with a nice compost.

(I mentioned it in an earlier posting on this thread.) So here's more info: It's called the Rancho Las Virgenes Composting Facility and serves an area with about 60,000 residents. The engineer is Carlos Reyes and he can be contacted at 818/878-1310. Construction on this facility was finished in September of 1993. The reason for the odor problem they used to have is that the media in the biofilters they were using was deteriorating faster than they had anticipated, so the biofilters have been retrofitted with new media and they expect there to be no future problems. A large distributor of nitrohumus supplies the composting facility with the bulking agent it requires in return for a set amount of compost, and then water district customers can load as much into their own containers as they want for free (within reason). ==================================================================== Kirsten Sinclair Rosselot, P.E.

UNEP has just completed the printing of the English version of EnVoc with Spanish, French and Arabic due out in the next few months. Chinese and Russian to follow. This is the first time the thesaurus will be published in all 6 official UN languages. It is indeed an honor for the INFOTERRA Secretariat, Division of Environmental Information and Assessment, to have the EnVoc Multilingual Thesaurus of Environmental Terms launched on World Environment Day in Korea by UNEPs Executive Director, Ms. Elizabeth Dowdeswell. Please feel free to use this press release as a publicity initiative, send the release to your local newspapers, journals, news wires, radio television and other relevant environmental contacts. Promoting the thesaurus and sharing with others how you use the thesaurus will have a consensus building effect on what professional information specialists are responsible for in your nations environmental information exchange. We thank you for your efforts. Please keep the Secretariat informed of any developments. ******************************************************* Under Embargo Not for release until 8 a.m. GMT 5 June 1997 UNEP LAUNCHES A REVISED VERSION OF EnVoc - MULTILINGUAL THESAURUS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERMS Contributing to a global standard for Environmental Vocabulary Seoul/Nairobi, 5 June 1997 - The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), launched its EnVoc Multilingual Thesaurus of Environmental Terms, to coincide with the World Environment Day celebrations in Seoul today. "Five years after the Rio Conference, it is now an opportune time to reflect on the role of information in the implementation of Agenda 21. Throughout Agenda 21, there are hundreds of references to the importance of information for better decision-making in the management of sustainable development" said Ms. Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Executive Director of UNEP while releasing the publication. Chapter 40 of Agenda 21 states the following: "In sustainable development, everyone is a user and provider of information considered in the broad sense. That includes data, information, appropriately packaged experience and knowledge. The need for information arises at all levels, from that of senior decision makers at the national and international levels to the grass-roots and individual levels. The following two programme areas need to be implemented to ensure that decisions are based on sound information: (a) Bridging the data gap; (b) Improving information availability". UNEP is addressing both of these issues under the sub-programme entitled Global and Regional Servicing and our global environmental information exchange network, INFOTERRA, is responding to several mandates received from governments to improve information availability. Although there exists a wealth of information that could be used for the management of sustainable development, one of the major problems encountered within many countries, particularly developing countries, is that information is not adequately managed for a variety of reasons including lack of technology and methodologies for effective access. Chapter 40 proposed the "establishment of standards and methods for handling information" as one of several activities to address this problem. One of UNEP's contributions to this initiative is the production of a standardized environmental vocabulary entitled EnVoc - Multilingual Thesaurus of Environmental Terms which is a reference tool for both users and providers of environmental information. The use of a controlled vocabulary for keyword indexing is a fundamental pre-requisite not only for the library community but also for our ever-expanding partnership of specialists working with environmental data and information. In the absence of a standard environmental vocabulary it would be inconceivable to compile meaningful datasets and information products let alone exchange them in an efficient and harmonised manner. EnVoc is the latest edition of the INFOTERRA Thesaurus of environmental Terms fully revised to reflect emerging environmental concerns and new technologies especially in the field of environmental information. The thesaurus has evolved from an unstructured list of keywords with very limited application to a structured environmental thesaurus with a broad application base comprising of librarians, documentalists, database developers, thesaurus developers, terminologists, GIS specialists, translators, interpreters and environmental information specialists in general. EnVoc is being published in all six official United Nations languages - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. UNEP would like to especially thank the Government of Sweden for funding the production of the thesaurus in the Arabic, English, French and Spanish, under the Agenda 21 Trust Fund. The Russian and Chinese versions are being published with assistance from the Governments of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. Additionally a number of other Governments have undertaken the translation into their national languages. The initiative taken by these Governments in translating the thesaurus into their national languages is testimony to the importance they attach to environmental terminology and the value of the thesaurus as a reference tool. UNEP wishes to thank the Italian Government for assistance received from the INFOTERRA national focal point for Italy located in the Institute of Biomedical Technologies of the National Research Council (CNR-ITBM-RRDA) in Rome, during the revision of the third edition of the INFOTERRA Thesaurus and its subsequent integration with the General European Multilingual Environment Thesaurus (GEMET) being developed by the European Environment Agency (EEA). As testimony to its widespread appeal we have now decided to rename the thesaurus EnVoc, reflecting its established niche as a leading environmental vocabulary with an international client base. As a subject, environment is multidisciplinary by nature. Its study, therefore, covers a wide range of linkages to disciplines and consequently it would be very difficult, though not impossible, to construct a thesaurus containing every environmental term. The terms listed in EnVoc are drawn from a relatively high level in the environmental terminology hierarchy. This strategy eliminates unnecessary duplication with more specialised thesauri and the end product is closely integrated, compact and more practical to use. ******* For more information on EnVoc or other INFOTERRA products and services, contact: Beth Ingraham, UNEP Thesaurus Team, Division of Environmental Information and Assessment, UNEP, P.O.

EnVoc (Environmental Vocabulary) has been revised to reflect emerging environmental concerns and new technologies especially in the field of environmental information. Originally produced twenty years ago as the INFOTERRA Thesaurus of Environmental Terms, this product has evolved into an important reference tool for both users and providers of environmental information. As testimony to the products widespread appeal we have now decided to rename the thesaurus EnVoc - Multilingual Thesaurus of Environmental Terms reflecting its established niche as a leading environmental vocabulary with an international client base. Throughout Agenda 21 there are hundreds of references regarding the importance of information for better decision-making in the management of sustainable development. Chapter 40 of Agenda 21 entitled INFORMATION FOR DECISION-MAKING is entirely devoted to this issue. The preamble to this chapter states: "In sustainable development, everyone is a user and provider of information considered in the broad sense. That includes data, information, appropriately packaged experience and knowledge. The need for information arises at all levels, from that of senior decision makers at the national and international levels to the grass-roots and individual levels". Chapter 40 proposed the "establishment of standards and methods for handling information" as one of several activities to address the problem of inadequately managed information. One of UNEP's contributions to this initiative is the production of a standardised environmental vocabulary entitled EnVoc - Multilingual Thesaurus of Environmental Terms. User Friendly EnVoc for: - describing the information holdings of a library or documentation centre - describing the areas of expertise of a consultant - classifying a query according to the information requested - indexing a monograph or journal paper - standardising attributes in GIS databases. New! Features: - Available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish, other language versions to be announced - Integrated with GEMET - General European Multilingual Environment Thesaurus of the European Environment Agency - Revised from a gender perspective - Biological diversity, now expanded to include - biotechnology and management of biodiversity - Includes the terminology associated with the Global Programme of Action (GPA) for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities - Economic aspects of the environment addressed to highlight the new economic instruments for environmental management. - Geographical attributes have been updated using ISO Standard 3166 - Improved relational structure. Table of Contents includes: - Outline of Categories and Sub-categories - List of Terms in Code Sequence - Categorised List of Terms - Alphabetical List of Terms - KWIC (KeyWords In Context). EnVoc is a reference tool for librarians, documentalists, database developers, thesaurus developers, terminologists, GIS specialists, translators, interpreters and environmental information specialists in general.

Coordinated by the Secretariat and based at UNEP headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, the network is comprised of l74 National Focal Points (NFPs), located in nearly every United Nations member country. The network also supports activities at ten Regional Service Centres (RSCs). The INFOTERRA network processes approximately 60,000 queries on the environment annually, and links approximately 8,000 national and international institutions and experts from various sectors in the UN common system, NGOs, industrial, governmental, commercial enterprises and academia. In response to the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) UNEP has adopted a "Results Management" strategy which encompasses the two key concepts of "results over procedures" and "client service first". INFOTERRA has, since its inception in 1975, been a service-directed and results-oriented programme. However, the new Results Management orientation of UNEP has strengthened its commitment to seek a more integrated information system in order to: - provide better quality information to decision-makers; - stimulate training and building of national capacity in the NFPs; - repackage information; and - promote services to launch sustainable development at the country level. INFOTERRA is using two Internet services to promote the electronic exchange of environmental information. Firstly, a Internet subscription list has been established and users can submit, or respond to, queries by sending an e-mail message. To subscribe to the list contact the host at: < majordomo@cedar.univie.ac.at >. This service is being provided by the Central European Environmental Data Request Facility, CEDAR, in Vienna which is INFOTERRA's Regional Service Centre for Central and Eastern Europe. Secondly, information on INFOTERRA and other UNEP offices can be retrieved from the UNEP WWW site < http://www.unep.org >. The use rate of the INFOTERRA network has grown exponentially since it became operational in 1977 with fewer than two hundred queries. In 1984 the use total climbed to 12,000 queries and eight years later in 1992 some 28,000 queries were processed. The 1993 statistics reported 10,500 more queries than the year before bringing the annual total to 38,500. With the increased use of the Internet, the 1996 query statistics are expected to reach the 60,000 mark.

It was a rather detailed, 32 question telephone survey of 136 Non-DOD facilities throught Region 10. The telephone survey methodology seemed to work quite well. We found (no surprise) that the P2 needs of these smaller, mainly office function facilities are very different from those of large Defense facilities. I'd be happy to send it to you -- either the full report, or just the surey questions. I can probably send it electronically. Remember, to avoid listserver clutter, send request messages to me, not the whole listserver.

Dave will be traveling around the country this summer giving Train the Trainer workshops for P2 in Automotive Technologies. He has an extensive slide program that CC's with both ENV and Auto programs will be using to teach P2 in the automotive industry. If Dave doesn't have videos he would be very interested in knowing what you end up with. Our goal is to eventually train a bunch of community colleges to teach P2 to automotive repair technicians as a function of their associates degree. Neat concept, a great deal of folks can be educated on P2 and then take it into the shops all around the country. > From: Sundheim.Karen@epamail.epa.gov > To: P2Tech@great-lakes.net > Date: Wed, 4 Jun 1997 14:14:01 -0700 > Subject: P2 Videos > Reply-to: p2tech@great-lakes.net > > > > > I am putting together a list of videos on pollution prevention for auto > repair and maintenance shops, including refinishing.

I asked her about sources. Here's what she said: > I would suggest that he look in Brent Smith's book for some more information on possible sources - Of course, the book is not solely devoted to discussing coatings. The book -- "Pollution Prevention Best Management Practices for the Textiles Industry" can be ordered from the EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) library by calling 513-569- 8190. The EPA number for the book is EPA 625/R-96/004. It is available free of charge (at least for now) through ORD.

One development out of the forum was our committee. We are trying to put together a document on the development of partnerships. We learned at the meeting that there were all types of partnership and therefor all types of required documents. We are hoping to put together a compendium of documents to be made available as a reference material as other partnerships develop. Just think of it as partnershipping crib notes. Here's the type things we'd like to get (although anything will be appreciated): Memorandum of Agreements/Understanding Communication protocols (who knows what and how do they find out) Identification of Responsibility forms Structure of the Network - who is doing what Implementation plans Free versus Fee agreements - many of us seemed to have this problem Confidentiality agreements Referral list - mainly how referrals will be handled Measurement methods - since we all have different beans to count Agreements on how credit will be shared Any success stories or benefits from the partnerships Thanks in advance from the committee.

Has anyone come across an >estimated cost for evaporating these types of solutions with >commerical evaporators? > Yes your calculated cost/gallon does sound believable. I trust that your cost calculation included: maintenance, labor, utilities, equipment replacement, depreciation, permitting, administrative, and other overhead allocations. The offsite commercial disposal industry as we all painfully well know is currently characterized by a gross oversupply of providers and a dwindling number of purchasors of said services, hence the virtual "free-fall" in pricing since the "beginning of the end" occurred in 1992. Unless your client has a rather substantial volume generated from their annual production operations I would be inclined to advise them to "stick to their knitting" i.e. manufacturing and not invest their resources on waste processing. Having both acidic AND basic waste streams I would first try to develop a neutralization process THEN examine the economic viability of onsite evaporation to achieve the volume reduction. Evaporators tend to be very sensitive to changing feedstock quality and require a great deal of operations expertise to operate properly.

By neutralizing the phosphoric acid with ammonia you can form an ammonium phosphate solution, which is a fertilizer material and could be used onsite for land maintenance or given to employees or local farmers. >Les Tate, TVA > >>We are presently working with a company who is considering >>evaporating their spent cleaning line solutions.

She works with kids on organic gardening, and might be a potential person to talk about educating about pesticides reduction. Her name is Sarah Steedman, and her home number is 773-772-7279 (I 'm not sure of her work number). She would not consider what she does as "pollution prevention education"; she just has fun with kids in the dirt! But she has chosen to make the garden organic, and has had training on an organic farm in UC Santa Cruz. I have no idea if she'd be interested, but if you need someone, it might be worth a try.

API is in Washington D.C. Another of their documents is "Environmental Design Considerations for Petroleum Refining Crude Processing Units," document number 311, Feb 1993. There is a whole series of EPA reports available through NTIS about the US EPA/Amoco Pollution Prevention Project in Yorktown, VA. The Project Summary is PB92-228527. I was a coauthor of "Pollution Prevention for Chemical Processes: A Handbook with Solved Problems from the Refining and Chemical Processing Industries," Aug 1994, available through the Illinois Hazardous Waste Research Center (?? -- their name used to be Hazardous Waste Research and Information Center) -- it's available for a nominal fee ($5) through them. I'm not sure any more of the contact info but when we wrote it Jackie Peden was the Project Manager and HWRIC was in Champaign, Illinois. I was also a coauthor of "Pollution Prevention for Petroleum Refineries," June 1995, which is a set of workshop materials complete with speaker's notes that's available from the Illinois EPA. I think you should contact Tom Wallin at the Office of Pollution Prevention, 217-785-8387 to get that one, and it might be free, I'm not sure. You might want to check the p2tech archives, it seems like someone asked this before. ==================================================================== Kirsten Sinclair Rosselot, P.E.

Anyway, our contact at one of the local correctional institutions is in charge of handling a few gallons per month of the stuff. He'd rather not have it around at all, as it's considered a pesticide, but hasn't been able to find an alternative. The current practice is to wash the hair clippers, combs and such in the barbicide and then store these in a UV light cabinet. The UV light cabinets are not seen as sufficiently sterilizing to be used alone. The barbicide is changed out when it gets cloudy. Any ideas for alternate ways to attain sterile barber tools with less waste? Thanks in advance. ............................................................ ..

EtO is commonly used at hospitals and it is a very hazardous material to handle. For your application, you would be trading a liquid waste for an air emission. Steam is good from the P2 angle and it is very effective at sterilizing equipment. But (always a but!), all of your combs and cutters will have to be made of aluminum or stainless steel. Most plastics will melt and carbon steel parts will rust if they aren't perfectly dry. Recontamination after steaming can be an issue, but the continued use of the UV lamps would avoid that problem. If you do replace the barbercide with a less hazardous solution, be absolutely sure it is just as effective. You don't want to risk making people sick for the sake of a few gallons of pesticide like waste. Perhaps a local barber school or beauty supply shop could direct you to alternative materials.

Date: Thursday, June 12, 1997 3:12PM The subject is the blue sterilizing liquid that you can see in jars full of combs at the barber shop... not a strange activity with dolls. Anyway, our contact at one of the local correctional institutions is in charge of handling a few gallons per month of the stuff. He'd rather not have it around at all, as it's considered a pesticide, but hasn't been able to find an alternative. The current practice is to wash the hair clippers, combs and such in the barbicide and then store these in a UV light cabinet. The UV light cabinets are not seen as sufficiently sterilizing to be used alone. The barbicide is changed out when it gets cloudy. Any ideas for alternate ways to attain sterile barber tools with less waste? Thanks in advance. ............................................................ ..

The theory being that the RO unit would seperate the water from the chrome so that both can be reused. This process could be undertaken with about an 8 hour turnaround.

There is also the secondary issue of fouling of the membrane but we think we can get around this. Before we go too far down the track we are very keen to know if anyone has or knows anyone that has had experience in this type of use of RO. The potential for tranferability of this method is quite high so we are keen to try and get the project to work. Any comments/suggestions gratefully received.

Illig At: illig.richard@a1.dep.state.pa.us Dear John, The determination that barbicide is "spent" when it becomes cloudy is a rather nebulas (pun intended) decision. Perceptions of what actually constitutes "cloudy" will vary widely from one individual to another. Assuming a pretty glass jar is being used as a container (as I have observed first hand) even the cleanliness of the glass will affect the determination of when the barbicide is "cloudy". A method for accurately determining the effective concentration of the "active ingredient" would be recommended. (This may lead to NOT wanting a container full of pretty blue liquid dressing up the shop, and settling for the pretty blue light from the UV unit. What I mean is, if the liquid is going to appear gunky but still work, one may prefer keeping it out of sight in a closed non-transparent container.) The appearance of running a clean operation would have most people dumping the blue stuff daily. (The real answer is in the last paragraph, below.) Consider the actual need for dunking into a container of barbicide provided immersion for a specific time period is not required for health reasons. Would a spray bottle of barbicide and a cloth or paper towel, or a spray bottle and simple wash with soap and water accomplish the same desired effect (and still not create a second disposal problem with towel waste and/or waste water disposal)?? Most towel waste, even if contaminated with hazardous constituents (provided it is not sopping wet with the stuff) may still be laundered (pending your state haz waste regs). Also, check on POTW requirements. Are other methods available, either alone and/or in conjunction with the UV light, that would accomplish the same effect? Microwave technology has been in development for several years to deal with disinfection of infectious waste. (Is there any such thing as a small sized autoclave?) Stronger UV lighting? Other chemicals that could be used and may be more acceptable for washing down a sink (alcohols)? Considering the gunk people put in their hair these days, extending the usable life of the barbicide, almost indefinitely, may be as simple as washing combs and other devices prior to immersion in the barbicide. In this way, oils, grease, salts, soaps, and whatever else goes into all those hair products, shampoos, gels, etc. will NOT get transferred into the barbicide. Cloudiness most likely results from transfer of gunk, totally unrelated to the function of the barbicide, into the container, otherwise, the barbicide must be chemically "eating" the equipment. Should it apply, changing equipment or limiting immersion time may help.

You might get some insight from Northrop-Grumman, in Hawthorne, CA, 310/332-1000 contact Mr. J. J. Singh. They were working with Dr. Fred Reinhard (612/941-9142) who modified the RO membrane surface for this application, to increase its productive life. It seems the chromates oxidize RO membranes, similar to the way free chlorine attacks RO membranes (the cellulose acetate will also oxidize, just not as rapidly as the polyamide or thin film composite membrane). Also watch out for hydrolyzing the cellulose acetate if the re-concentrated chromate conversion coating lowers the pH back to 2 S.U. (might not happen; some say hydrolysis is a factor for solutions below a pH of 4.5 ). In case you have already done so, consider sacrificing some amount of rejection and recovery parameters for a longer membrane life. The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences' book "NCMS/NAMF Pollution Prevention and Control Technology for Plating Operations" (1994) references an article in Water Technologies, Inc. "Recovery of Rinse Water and Plating Bath from Process Rinses Using Advanced Reverse Osmosis" by Ronald R. Rich and Thomas von Kuster, Jr. The NCMS project manager for the book was Dr. Paul Chalmer (313-995-0300). Good Luck. I'm curious how your project turns out.

Before we go too far down the track we are very keen to know if anyone has or knows anyone that has had experience in this type of use of RO. The potential for tranferability of this method is quite high so we are keen to try and get the project to work. Any comments/suggestions gratefully received.

Instead we successfully demonstrated the application of RO in a close-loop configuration to recycle black dye and nickel acetate seal solutions on an anodizing line. The technology vendor in this project was Ecosystems and the contact is Taoward Lee (phone is 714-646-7552) and he might be able to discuss membrane specifics with you. Keep me posted and good luck! By the way, an alternative to your project that "farther up the P2 ladder" would be to try some of the non-chrome conversion coating chemistries that have been communicated on this list server recently.

Coupled with a UV store box this should make for a sterile system. The down side is that the barbers will have to learn how to properly run an autoclave, as opposed to just dunking their equipment into barbicide for 10 minutes. It is a registered pesticide in Canada and should be effective. Also, with an autoclave, combs and clippers will likely have to be stainless steel, although you could try different plastics, some (melamine?) may hold up under the combination of heat, steam and UV that they will be subjected to. I suppose in a prison situation the use of plastic combs has an advantage over steel, especially "rat tail" combs that could easily be made into a weapon.

There may be a better alternative. If you use the rinse water in three stage tank, flowing in the opposite direction from the parts, and from the cleanest tank to the dirtiest (next to the chemical tank), and if you use RO water to begin with, then the flow rate can be turned very low, often well below 0.1 gpm (we have seen rates around 1.0 gph work, but have not seen anyone push to the lowest limit, because it is not necessary). At that level, the former waste output from the rinse tank can be used as make up in the chemical tank, resulting in no rinse water to treat or dispose. With heated tanks, you may need to turn up the flow rate a little higher to have enough make up. Ralph. Ralph E.

However, for many (most) metal finishing shops finding space for three tanks is difficult at best. Also, in my experience about 0.5 gpm is the "psychological limit" of flow through a rinse... Finally, most platers really push parts through their chromate conversion operations with little hang time to avoid staining and dragout form these operations is usually very high relative to other areas in the shop.

A project to spread P2 accounting to Asia is on the ropes, despite strong interest from the funding agency, because the US participating state agency suddenly refused to sign on. We need another state organization to support this project and your help to find such. You may recall a while ago I posted a query to P2TECH regarding who is doing what on P2 accounting courses. I got some good responses and the best was from Keri Luly of Illinois EPA and Deb Savage of Tellus Institute who have worked together to develop and present a P2 accounting course in Illinois. Together with Philippine Inst of Chartered Public Accountants (PICPA), we developed a proposal to the US-Asia Environmental Partnership via the Council of State Governments to bring the course over to the Philippines and help PICPA develop it as a regular continuing education course for its 150,000 (!!!) members. The preliminary proposal was submitted to USAEP who apparently really likes it and is ready to fund it. BUT!! Keri says that the Illinois EPA Administrator has for some reason refused to sign off on it. Thus we have a great project to promote P2 internationally, someone to fund it, and no state agency to act as the US partner. HELP!! Is there a state enviro agency that is interested to help make this work? The requirement on the agency's part is staff time, no cash costs. Staff would travel to Philippines for two one-week periods spread over about 6 months to help get the course going and build connections between US P2 folks and Philippines P2 fledgling community (Kevin McDonald of NPPR has tickled a potential Phil. P2 Roundtable into the birthing stages). I am heading off on a horrendous travel schedule and won't be at this email address to take responses. If you have ideas please contact Keri Luli at EPA8604@epa.state.il.us, or Deb Savage at Tellus Inst., DSAVAGE@tellus.com. It would be a tremendous shame if a funded project to promote P2 accounting internationally died because no state agency was willing to spend a little staff time on it. It may even be possible to get funding for state agency staff equivalent salaries to participate, so they can take leave without pay from work and get reimbursed by the project. Hey, nobody loses and everyone wins that way! Please help, the Phil accountants association is really ready to get on board with this, and in 1998 they are hosting the Asian Regional Accounting Conference where about 6,000 accountants will be ready to get the message.

I'm passing it on mainly because of the interesting use of plastic waste to provide aeration in a composting pile. ****************************************************** I took a call yesterday from a company that is looking for rigid, curved plastic chips, approximately 2 - 3 inches in size, and irregular in shape. They need 1,000 cubic yards. They would prefer to use someone's waste stream material. They have called Crumpler Pipe in Fayetteville, NC, and are calling tire chip processors now like Enviro-Tire in Lillington, NC. They have a market directory and a NC Manufacturers Directory. Can anyone recommend a source? The company, McGill Environmental near Rose Hill in Duplin County,NC, will use the chips for aeration in their compost piles. They will screen the chips out and reuse them so this is a one time deal. Please let me know if you have any thoughts. ********************************************************* If chips are available close to North Carolina, let me know and I will pass it on.

Some interesting discussion. I saved a P2Tech message posted February 13, 1996 from Judy Kennedy. She mentions a P2 case study publication from Wash Ecology: "Success Through Waste Reduction -- Volume 2." (1992) that deals with air quality issues in cosmetology. Publication number #92-045, available through Ecology at (360) 407-7472. You might want to check the P2Tech archives to see if there are other messages from that particular thread.

We were unable to find any alternatives that were not hazardous. All were either ketones or light alcohols. All are flammable and toxic (some more than others -- we found that, for some applications, ethyl alcohol might work -- but then you would have to deal with BATF!). Another approach may be to efficiently use the solvent they are using, so that less is used and there is less exposure. Acetone is particularly easy to distill off of the resin and could be reused many times. Other ketones may also work, and some light alcohols. All could be recycled and reused many times (perhaps indefinitely, but some moisture absorption may be a problem). Another approach with the same solvents is to use a little for each of several rinses. Each rinse except the last could use rinse material saved from a previous time the equipment was cleaned. This way, you load up the solvent with as much of the resin as it will hold, prior to disposal or recycle. With combinations of the above, we were able to reduce total consumption to between 10 and 20 percent of the previous use. The remainder was lost to atmosphere or retained in residual waste, which was sent for fuel use. Ralph Ralph E.

Some interesting discussion. I saved a P2Tech message posted February 13, 1996 from Judy Kennedy. She mentions a P2 case study publication from Wash Ecology: "Success Through Waste Reduction -- Volume 2." (1992) that deals with air quality issues in cosmetology. Publication number #92-045, available through Ecology at (360) 407-7472. You might want to check the P2Tech archives to see if there are other messages from that particular thread.

Flammability is the greatest hazard. It may be hard to find a less hazardous alternative that performs in the same way as the hexane, which, by the way is readily recyclable. If I knew more about the particulars of how the hexane is used, it may be possible to suggest an alternative or a better management practice which reduces the volume of hexane released to the environment.

For those interested and not familiar with CEGESTI, at the end of this message a short description of our organization follows. Furthermore, I would like to invite you to visit our webpage. During the month of July, I will have the opportunity to visit the USA and would be delighted to meet with some of you interested to consider a kind of cooperation with CEGESTI in order to further promote P2 in our region. We have a good identification of P2 needs in Costa Rica and a load of project ideas (small and larger ones) which I would be very interested to present and discuss. Many thanks for your consideration!

Since their operation involves painting, I was interested in the use of HVLP equipment for their operation. I know that they currently use robots to paint with humans doing the touch-up work. Enamel is their paint of choice. They do send the parts through an oven after painting. Question-is it possible to use HVLP equipment with robots and enamel paint? In the telephone call, I suggested this option as a possibility for them to decrease the amount of paint they are using which caught their eye. Thanks.

Does anyone have a name of a chemical used in tire recycling called a peptizer? According to Comptons Encyclopedia the peptizer is used to soften the rubber of the tire before it is shredded. I have tried calling local chemical suppliers and they have no idea about what a peptizer is. The requester would prefer a supplier in Dallas but will take any source of peptizer. I am interested in a trade name which might make it easier to track down and a company selling it, if possible. Thanks. Kirsten M.

Does anyone have a name of a chemical used in tire recycling called a peptizer? According to Comptons Encyclopedia the peptizer is used to soften the rubber of the tire before it is shredded. I have tried calling local chemical suppliers and they have no idea about what a peptizer is. The requester would prefer a supplier in Dallas but will take any source of peptizer. I am interested in a trade name which might make it easier to track down and a company selling it, if possible. Thanks. Kirsten M.

At this meeting we intend to review the P2 curriculum for associate degree programs. For the second half of this session we will split into two groups. One track will look at/develop P2 games for the course. The second track will look at/develop a P2 case study to be taught to 2nd year environmental students. Question. Does anyone have a well developed game or case study that they would be willing to share? The case study needs to have enough information that students could work through a mass balance and come up with P2 ideas. The point of this class is for graduating students to perform a multi-media P2 audit of a facility so that they can demonstrate to industry that they are more than just environmental enforcement folks, that they can affect their bottom line. Anyone interested in participating in this session may contact the HMTRI at 1-800-GO HMTRI and ask about the P2 session in Mackinaw. Spaces may be limited. Thanks in advance for your help! David G.

Powder = paints have been used in the appliance industry since the 50's. Because = they are a powder they eliminate all solvents and reduced paint = consumption another magnitude past HVLP. We can give on-site = demonstrations to anyone interested in the technology. [Our charter as a = nonprofit is to do technology transfer of leading environmental = technologies.] Thought our demonstration equipment is big and = automated, the technique is easily done with a manual spray gun in a = booth and a small curing oven. Here is an excerpt from our Home Page: Powder Coating Equipment Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Specifications Part Size: Up to 3' x 4' x 4'=20 Batch Size: Small (6 lbs of powder) to Medium (50 lbs) to Large (500 = lbs)=20 Conveyor Speed: Variable, 2 to 12 feet per minute=20 Cure Temperature: Variable, up to 500=B0F=20 Cure Time: Variable, no limit During powder coating demonstrations, operators and engineers study = process=20 parameters for finish quality, film thickness, edge coverage, corrosion = resistance,=20 and mechanical properties such as impact resistance, hardness, and = abrasion=20 resistance to find the best coating application for your products.=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Powder coating is a finishing technique that offers economic and = performance advantages over conventionally applied coatings. = Economically, powder coatings have bottom-line savings in three key cost = areas-materials, energy, and environmental compliance. Material costs = are low because usage efficiency is high-up to 99% of overspray is = recycled. Energy costs are low because spray booth and bake oven = ventilation is reduced. And two familiar environmental costs-VOC control = and sludge disposal-are virtually eliminated because powder coatings are = solvent free and produce no paint sludges. Powder coatings also provide = quality finishes and surface properties that rival those of liquid = coatings. Technological advancements make powder coatings versatile = enough to meet finishing needs that range from primers to chemical agent = resistant coatings. The electrostatic powder spray processes in the Main = Demonstration Factory use many types of thermoplastic and thermosetting = materials, such as epoxies, polyesters, acrylics, vinyls, and PVC. These = coatings can be used to meet the coating requirements for metal = substrates such as aluminum, brass, bronze, steel, and zinc. Advances in = new chemistries are also now meeting the requirements of nonmetallic = substrates such as fiber-reinforced plastic, composites, wood, glass, = and ceramics.=20 The powder coating line in the Main Demonstration Factory consists of a = pretreatment line, an enclosed spray booth, and a curing area. Parts are = cleaned and pretreated in a seven-stage pretreatment line, then = transferred to the spray booth. Powder coating starts with fluidization, = where a feed hopper mixes powder paints with compressed air. The = fluidized powder is pumped from the hopper to spray guns. The system has = eight automatic, corona-charging guns on vertical reciprocators, two = hand-held corona guns, and two hand-held tribomatic guns. In corona = guns, electrodes at the gun's tip receive a high-voltage charge from a = power supply. This creates a cloud of charged particles in front of the = guns. In tribomatic guns, internal friction is used to build up a charge = on the particles.=20 Parts are suspended inside or conveyed through the booth and sprayed = with the charged powder. Overspray is contained within the booth, = recycled, then supplied back to the guns. Parts are then transferred to = a curing area to be cured either with convection or infrared heat.=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ If you would like more information about powder paints or equipment, = just let me know, or check out our web site below.

Since their operation involves painting, I was=20 interested in the use of HVLP equipment for their operation.=20 I know that they currently use robots to paint with humans doing the=20 touch-up work. Enamel is their paint of choice. They do send the=20 parts through an oven after painting. Question-is it possible to use HVLP equipment with robots and enamel=20 paint? =20 In the telephone call, I suggested this option as a possibility for=20 them to decrease the amount of paint they are using which caught=20 their eye.

Jennifer -- You might want to include the Rain Forest Action Network's web site, specifically their guide to "Green Sources of Construction Materials" -- at the following URL: http://www.ran.org/ran/ran_campaigns/rain_wood/wood_con/wood_sources.h tml (say THAT five times fast!). The emphasis is on building construction (not furniture) but tropical and rainforest woods are used a lot in furniture, so this is nonetheless relevant. While not P2 per se, sourcing wood from more sustainable places is consistent with the P2 message. And while a lot of the RAN site is adversarial or confrontational in tone (hey, it's an activist site -- that's what they're supposed to do!) this document is quite helpful and specific in content. Hope this helps.

Illig 1) Does the facility have a sand reclaim system in place?? This may be the first step in controlling the waste stream. Unused core sands may not be as acceptable for reuse, due to chemical constituents, as used core sands (although the specific sand binder system can make a difference in this area). Used (& unused) core sands generally are recycled into the molding process. Mold sand can be reused until spent. Another method for minimizing the generation of core sand is to use hollow cores in cases where large gaps in the mold require larger cores (as in pipe making). 2) Potential use as an aggregate in the production of asphalt or concrete...pending acceptable chemistry (leachable and total concentrations of constituents...determined by state and perhaps federal regs) and gradations specifications. Too fine a material may not be suited for replacement of regular virgin sand in many potential uses. 3) Again pending chemistry and the grade, as a pipe bedding. 4) With the same cautions, as an aggregate in roadway and/or berm construction. (Foundry slag and refractory materials may be even more acceptable for some of these uses, than sand. Scrubber sludges or bag house dusts from cupola operation are generally much more chemically active and greater concern when placed directly into the environment.)

Illig E-mail: illig.richard@a1.dep.state.pa.us Kirsten, I am not a professional so please take this info as a possible suggestion. The use of a robot should not make a difference as long as the robot is programable, or is capable, of some basic adjustments. I spoke with one facility that had used robots but had to eliminate them when the product line became variable in size...the robots dated to about 1988 and could only handle one program. Upgrading the robots was reportedly too costly a venture and retraining the robots was much too time consumming. HVLP can be a very efficient system. Electrostatic systems or powder coatings, especially since you mentioned metal (based?) furniture (and the facts that they already operate an oven and perform a touch up operation)(caution: the oven MAY need serious modification to handle powder coatings, also touch up operations CAN be a source of some concern, waste-wise)(this may depend more on the actual shape of the furniture...round vs flat surfaces, curved vs angled), may be an even more efficient consideration. I was recently given the impression that electrostatic systems may be turned on and off as needed to control Faraday Cage effects, which would minimize the need to perfrom touchups. Also, electrostatics seem adaptable to most air-systems. I'm not sure if a robot could also manipulate the electricity at critical moments, but can't see why not. A recently visited cabinet-maker replaced HVLP guns with what SEEMED to be (they talked alot about better control of the spray cone from the gun and overspray) an Air-Assisted HVLP gun, although they didn't call it by that name (I was unable to get a lot of details but am begining to think they actually replaced an airless spray system with HVLP). They reported that lower pressures were needed, a large reduction in paint usage, significantly less overspray (and associated waste), and good quality. (They also reported that when a competing company claimed their guns could perform the same way, the guns were tested and reportedly DID NOT compare.) I hope this serves to aid, and not confuse options.

What is the nature of the enamel? Is it air dry or cured in an oven? I have seen where companies use a baked enamel on office furniture, and have been able to capture the overspray in liquid form. The liquid can be reformulated into coating and reused. A company has many options regarding the coatings that they use, and possible changes in application method that will increase transfer efficiency and reduce the use of clean-up solvent. One good source of information is their paint supplier. Feel free to call me and discuss some approaches. Terry A. Mors, QEP TEAM Environmental Consulting, Inc. 3398 N.

My suggestion is to bite the bullet and do the RMP. I worked with a brewer in Texas before and it turns out that the RMP for a brewery is fairly simple and not terribly expensive. Also, have your client look at installing monitors -- that is, prestationed unmanned fire nozzles, with heavy misting capability, as a mitigating measure. They are not terribly expensive and can be very effective in knocking down anhydrous ammonia. Ralph Ralph E.

This is unacceptable for most uses although some of you that are more artistically inclined might think it is COOL! Are you TREATING a waste by solidifing it? Do you run the TCPL before solidification? Compliance with confusing regulations is perhaps the very reason why many of us seek to avoid them altogether by cleaner production and pollution prevention. My point remains - do we consider all the consequences of the alternatives that we recommend. Powder paints for most lines create a NEW waste stream when it eliminates the VOC waste stream. Perhaps the vendors could work on this instead of hiding it when they peddle their wares.

That is why the Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessment (PPOA) is such a good tool. You probably remember the basics of a PPOA from Chicago several years ago. We, the Pollution Prevention Technical Team at Pantex Plant, completed a PPOA prior to purchasing our electrostatic powder painting system. When you are focusing on what chemicals are used and what wastes are generated in a given process, you tend to expand your thought process to those proposed alternatives and their effects on waste generation. I think you bring up a good point that needs to be stressed. Don't box your thoughts in to solve a waste generation problem, only to create another one. Say no to tunnel vision. Good Thought!

To my knowledge, TCLP was not routinely done since the operators claimed awareness from the MSDS and past experience regarding the powder being "OK" to toss. Obviously, this argument is very easily applied to any and all situations where there is no desire to spend the money to run TCLP. What can I say?

The traffic is pretty bad in that whole area, so they created car-pool lanes during extended rush hours, requiring 2 or even 3 passengers per car. These lanes move at a much greater rate, and people tend to car pool just to use them. They also raised the fine for traveling in a car pool lane by yourself to about $250.00 to discourage abuse. ljk lin.krause@epa.state.oh.us Ohio EPA- OPP 614-644-2811 From p2tech-owner Mon Jun 30 08:59:16 1997 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by cedar.cic.net (8.8.5/CICNet) id IAA09577 for p2tech-out; Mon, 30 Jun 1997 08:08:09 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 4.1 Date: Mon, 30 Jun 1997 08:04:27 -0400 From: Andrea Futrell To: p2tech@great-lakes.net Subject: Uses for sulfur dioxide Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-p2tech@great-lakes.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: p2tech@great-lakes.net Uses for sulfur dioxide A company recycles materials from old appliances, including refrigerants. The company tries to recycle or use all components of the appliances. Very old appliances used sulfur dioxide as a refrigerants. The company is trying to find a use for the sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide is contained in one cylinder, 500 pounds gross, and one cylinder, 250 pounds gross. The company has tried waste exchanges, bulletin boards, the Chicago Board of Trade, wastewater treatment plants, solid waste management districts (local governments in Ohio), the University of Wisconsin, and fertilizer manufacturers. Although this list server focusses on source reduction, the company has been diligent and creative in its search for uses for sulfur dioxide. Any suggestions are welcome.

You'll see that mentioned on boxes or bags of raisins and other dried fruit. It's also used for producing sulfuric acid. I hope this is useful.

Environ. Mgt. Office of Pollution Prev & TA {ccs@opn.dem.state.in.us} Question: POTW effluent copper violations, why and how do they occur? It has been observed in some Indiana POTWs that frequent ef- fluent copper violations are related to the practice of con- necting the electrical ground to the plumbing. Apparently the current through the plumbing hastens electrolytic corrosion of the lines. If you have any background or experience with this problem, I would appreciate hearing from you, either directly or through the Net.
