“Historically this location has been permitted at a 90% process air cleaning efficiency level but our commitment to continuous improvement forces us to challenge that” says Bill DeWitt, director strategy deployment. “During recent maintenance events, we were able to take advantage of new technological upgrades that have allowed us to re-permit for a new Title V Air Operating Permit at 97% air cleaning efficiency. This improved efficiency will result in a reduction of up to 250 tons of VOC emissions per year. That is something our team is very proud of”.
“Arclin is committed to being a more sustainable company and improvements such as this are proof of that”, adds Bill McLean, West Coast operations manager. “We routinely apply Six Sigma principles to improve both manufacturing and business practices at our Surfaces operations and we are in the process of expanding its use to the rest of our organization”.
