New Hampshire Pollution Prevention Internship (P2I) Program

List of Projects, UNH Interns, and Facilities Year 2012 (Total Interns since start 137, total facilities ` 75)

NHDES - Pollution Prevention Program - Christian Zapata As the intern for NHPPP, Christian contributed to an ongoing grant based project assisting concrete facilities with compliance to various NHDES and EPA regulations. He also had the opportunity to work with Whelen Engineering in Charlestown, NH. Christian utilized his chemical engineering degree to research a less toxic substitute to the methylene chloride used in a process to bond polycarbonate plastics at Whelen Engineering. •

When all of the testing is complete and this chemical substitution meets all requirements, Whelen Engineering will save up to $30,000 annually in safety testing and eliminate the use of approximately 5 gallons of 100% concentration methylene chloride per year.

Freudenberg NOK- Bristol, NH Freudenberg-NOK manufactures rubber products for various industries including the automotive industry. This facility is a long time participant in the P2 internship program. This year they employed two interns to work on various projects. Thalia Valkanos was tasked with conducting research and a feasibility study for a geothermal

1

heating/cooling system for installation at the Bristol facility. She developed a heating/cooling load plan on the appropriate building areas to determine thermal requirements the proposed geothermal system would need to meet. This project required financial analysis and projections to assist in the planning for this new system. In addition, Thalia crafted a sustainability policy to be integrated into Freudenberg’s corporate guiding principles. Her efforts were focused on improving the overall sustainability of Bristol, NH facility. •

Once this Geothermal system is installed, Freudenberg will save $110,000 and 33,000 gallons of oil annually.

Ryan Huard’s objective at Freudenberg-NOK was to focus on reducing waste generation and plant operation costs to meet a Freudenberg-NOK corporate mandate of zero waste generation. He investigated, analyzed and mapped hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams generated by the facility. Ryan’s efforts to decrease the quantity of managed waste at this facility included an investigation of several projects. Ryan made simple alterations to an existing evaporator which removed more water from the residue and resulted in a waste reduction of 27%. Ryan researched a floor wash-water filtration system that will reduce 20 drums of regulated waste per year and reduce soap usage by 8 drums per year. Using Lean and Kaizen 5S (sort, stabilize, sweeping or shining, standardizing, and sustaining) methods, Ryan adjusted the plumbing on a phosphate tank and modified its use in the process to improve its efficiency, cut costs, and improve safety. Lastly, Ryan performed a financial feasibility study on a solvent recovery system to recycle solvents used in the manufacturing process. If implemented, this system would be used to recycle solvents used in the manufacturing process thereby reducing the disposal of used solvents. • • •

The end result is $15,400 in annual savings from the floor water filtration machine. Evaporator modification: $6,000 per year savings. Pipe retrofit on phosphate tank will save approximately $2,300 a year for the cost of labor and increase safety for employees.

Turbocam - Barrington, NH - Bill Oedel Turbocam is a multinational company that manufactures parts for aerospace, automotive, energy, marine, compressor, and other industries. Bill was tasked with reducing the volume of waste oil/water sent to waste recycling facilities and in turn reducing disposal costs to the company. He monitored and mapped water usage at the Barrington facility to assist in water budgeting. This information was then used in the planning of a proposed new facility. Bill also created an Emergency Response Contingency Plan for the Barrington facility. •

Wastewater reduction project will save $40,000 - $50,000 annually in disposal costs.

Worthen Industries - Nashua, NH – Nicholas Brock Worthen Industries is a multinational group of companies, involved in the development and manufacture of adhesives, coatings and laminated products for a wide spectrum of industries. Worthen employed Nicholas as an intern to draft a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for one facility and file for an exemption for another. He was responsible for updating

Project 2: Visiting Auto Body shops throughout New Hampshire to ensure compliance with new EPA National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP 6H) and DES hazardous waste rules. Produce a case study on an auto shop that follows these regulations efficiently for other auto shops to use as reference. Project 3: Gathering sustainability data on restaurants within state to see what environmental initiatives have been undertaken and working with them to take extra steps to help reduce waste and save money. Brian McConnell (SURF at UNH Biodiesel Group) Floating Photobioreactors for Microalgae Growth on the Ocean The growth of algae in wastewater was compared to the growth in freshwater. The algae was then grown in hanging plastic bag PBRs as a transition step from glass flasks to horizontal floating plastic bag PBRs. Algae was grown in the floating PBRs and compared to the algae grown in flasks. Patrick Kilar, Hitchiner Manufacturing, Milford, NH Waste Heat Recovery Hitchiner Manufacturing Co., Inc., Milford produces investment cast parts of several alloys for aerospace, defense, automotive, and several new industries. The University of New Hampshire is working together with Hitchiner to research waste heat emitters at one of Hitchiner's facilities for purposes of how to best recover and re-use waste heat. Sensors that are capable of quantifying the data needed to effectively explore technological solutions have been acquired and the procedures to use them have been developed. The outcome of the investigation is expected to lower energy consumption by utilizing several possible methods -such as electricity generation that can be sold back to the grid through a low maintenance compact Organic-Rankine cycle power station, or for providing pre-heat to existing industrial ovens. Travis Maser, Hitchiner Manufacturing Co., Inc. Waste Heat Recovery and Energy Conservation Sand Reclaim and GTO Hitchiner spent $44,000 on the disposal of sand from their ACF facility in the year 2010. Original thoughts were to use this waste sand in the third layer of the shell process at the facility or to attach the Sand Reclamation system to a second casting machine. Through several tests and quotes received the best solution will be determined to help Hitchiner save money and eliminate their waste costs for sand. The GTO facility at Hitchiner also has similar waste costs as ACF with their sand disposal. Investigation into a crushing system will allow GTO/Hitchiner to reuse that waste sand instead of disposing it. Another waste cost at GTO is the slurry, which has similar sand properties as the shell sand. By placing this waste slurry in a furnace/oven all VOC’s can be burned out creating a non-hazardous waste that can be used at Hitchiner or another company in the area. Gina Chaput, UNH Biodiesel Group Bio-Oil Enhancement Investigation in enhancement of bio-oil by removing water and organic acids using a semipermeable membrane. Designed and constructed a pervaporation system using CMS membranes. Enhancement was determined by viscosity and heating values of bio-oil samples..

Becky Wilson (IROP at TAMUQ, Doha, Qatar) Salt-Water Microalgae Growth for Biodiesel Production in a Desert Climate Using an Open Pond System The purpose is to optimize microalgae growth and oil content for biodiesel production in an economical way. This was accomplished by growing algae under natural sunlight for photosynthesis instead of artificial sunlight, in saltwater instead of freshwater and in a desert climate so that arable land does not need to be used. Three different species were investigated to determine optimum growth and oil content under these conditions. Rob Kirkpatrick, Freudenberg-NOK ISO 14001 Certification Rob is in Budapest for the Fall semester. He already gave his presentation at Freudenberg. The project is to prepare the Bristol facility for ISO 14001 certification by updating and creating old and missing documentation. The environmental aspects and impacts list, standard procedures and other forms were updated, revised or created in an effort to fulfill the ISO 14001 requirements. The last step is to conduct an internal audit to ready the company for third party certification.

Along with her duties at DES, she also was the UNH P2 liaison, assisting other interns as needed and worked with Brian Hess compiling databases for the United States Post Office recycling and P2 Programs. Michael Snowbal, Freudenberg – NOK, Waste Stream Reduction Michael’s internship objectives reflected an emphasis on waste stream identification as well as targeting specific waste streams for reduction/ pollution prevention solutions. The six wash/ rinse machines had been selected to do an in depth analysis of the waste streams generated. Reduction plans for filter use, sludge discharge, electricity, the use of

12

recycled rinse water, and re-use of recycled rinse water were projects undertaken to achieve the objectives. Jingyan Li (Leo), Central Metal Finishing, Facility & Waste Stream Map Leo Completed the facility and Waste stream mapping at Windham NH site and North Andover site. He completed the TURA Reporting and Industrial water discharge Renewal forms. He also worked on energy conservation project. He started it by tracking the biggest energy using sources in the facility, which include the oven, air compressor, air conditioning system, and exhaust systems. He took data of the working hours of the air compressor. A correction of the compressor setting was made to auto lead instead of constant run. This setting made the air compressor to run on the air demand instead of running all the time. Brian Hess, US Postal Service, Post Office Recycling & P2 Programs Brian compiled Waste Recycling surveys from post office in the New Hampshire/Vermont District. This was followed by phone calls and site visits to selected offices. The recycling issues that postmasters seem to most frequently need assistance with are the Fluorescent Lamps and Battery (Universal Waste) recycling, and least frequent issues are Paper products, Aluminum, Plastic and Glass Containers, Ink Cartridge, and Used Oil recycling. After each phone call or site visit, needed supplies or equipment were dispatched to the post offices. Most post offices have adequate arrangements to recycle paper products and cardboard. The more remote a post office is the more difficult it is for paper recycling because of transportation logistics or facilities to recycle at.

UNH Bio-Oil Group, End Market Analysis Christopher and Caitlin have been researching the feasibility of a Bio-Oil facility in New Hampshire. The project has taken place in two phases. Phase one included a technical, environmental, and economic analysis as well as the development of an economic model for the facility. In phase two, end markets for the product were explored, with an emphasis on non-power generating applications. The work that has been done is being complied into a comprehensive report explaining the findings of the project.

Justin Warrington , EPA Region 1, NBC Metal Finishing Survey and Clean Engines Initiative Data Compilation Justin traveled to over 40 metal finishing shops in the State of Rhode Island conducting an anonymous environmental compliance survey. Justin also did work for the EPA's Clean Engines Initiative, calling state officials, drawing up a rough draft for a fact sheet and reconciling a marinas phone list with other sources. Eric R. Couture, Portex Inc., Environmental Metrics Eric assigned applicable Environmental Metrics reporting requirements to each department for tracking mandated by European corporate headquarters. The data gained from the Environmental Metrics provides a baseline for establishing target reductions and monitoring and measuring of ISO 14001 programs. Examples of tracking include: energy and water consumption, waste management, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Town of Durham/UNH Campus Solid Waste Management and Integration Christopher helped assess the current solid waste management programs for the town and campus. He examined the program's organization, staffing, accountability, costs and trends. Upon completion of analysis, he looked into ways to integrate and improve the two programs. He believes that future costs and environmental impacts of the programs can be reduced. Kyllan Alwyn, Teledyne Electronic Technologies, Electroplating Copper for use in a horizontal process Kyllan assisted technicians, chemists, and engineers in the daily maintenance of the process equipment for electroplating copper. This process is a horizontal approach to plating copper and challenges traditional methods of vertical electroplating in large tanks. The benefits to plating copper horizontally versus vertically are primarily reduced floor space, reduced long-term economic costs and a process that is fully automated. Caitlin LaClair, MARKEM Corporation, Reduction of Hazardous Waste in Fluid Ink Manufacturing Caitlin collected data on the ink-manufacturing floor as well as in waste manifests and inventories. From her research, she identified several waste streams and their costs. By doing so, she identified several areas of improvement for the facility. Yi Luo, UNH Office of Sustainability, Product take-back and sustainable Contract management Yi gathered data from other universities for the UNH waste management system in order to compare the recycling methods. Yi also examined product take back programs and how they could improve UNH’s waste management practice. One project goal is to reduce the contribution of old computers to the newly-regulated universal waste stream in order to ultimately reduce computer waste from UNH.
