Pollution prevention practices

Table 1. Examples of Pollution Prevention Practices in the Chemical Process ndustries.

The results should be reported to the responsible authorities and relevant parties, as required. Table 3 highlights some of the pollution prevention practices that are applied to controlling air emissions. There are many other pollution prevention practices that can be applied to wastewater and solid wastes. Can you think of some of these ... 

The principal air pollutants are particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These are released from mixing and coating operations. Pollution prevention practices generally employed to reduce air emissions include ... 

This subsection provides an overview of the production of metallurgical coke and the associated by-products using intermittent horizontal retorts, as well as the pollution prevention practices. Coke and coke by-products, including coke oven... 

To better understand some of the broad areas of pollution prevention practices. 

Table 8 provides a list of pollution prevention practices for reducing air emissions in mini steel mills. Standard treatment technologies for air emissions are as follows. Dust emission control technologies include cyclones, baghouses, and ESPs. Scrubbers are used to control acid mists. 

Describe typical sources and types of air emissions resulting from steelmaking. What are some pollution prevention practices used in this industry What are some of the emission control devices used and for what purposes ...

If instead we can sell the waste, then we not only have eliminated these costs, but in addition have generated a positive cash flow into our operation for the sale of the waste. This is what we mean by pollution prevention practice. 

Pollution prevention practices have become part of the U.S. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, working in conjunction with best management practices (BMPs) to reduce potential pollutant releases. Pollution prevention methods have been shown to reduce costs as well as pollution risks through source reduction and recycling/reuse techniques.5... 

Best management practices are inherently pollution prevention practices. Traditionally, BMPs have focused on good housekeeping measures and good management techniques intending to avoid contact between pollutants and water media as a result of leaks, spills, and improper waste disposal. 

Significant opportunities exist for industry to reduce or prevent pollution through cost-effective changes in production, operation, and raw materials use. In addition, such changes may offer industry substantial savings in reduced raw materials, pollution control, and liability costs, as well as protect the environment and reduce health and safety risks to workers. Where pollution prevention practices can be both environmentally beneficial and economically feasible, one would consider their implementation to be prudent.
