7.0 Implementation of Options for Reduction of hydrochloric acid.
To reduce the use of hydrochloric acid at the facility, Protec Finishing has plans to implement the following options:
Table 8. Description and Timetable for Implementation of Steps of Option # 3
Table 8. Description and Timetable for Implementation of Steps for Equipment or process modification Option. INCREASED DRAIN TIME PRIOR TO THE PICKLE TANK TO REDUCE DRAG IN WATER. INCREASED DRAIN TIME OVER THE PICKLE TANK TO RECOVER MORE OF THE SOLUTION LOST THROUGH DRAG OUT |

Description |
Estimated timelines |
1 |
Determination of amount of additional time required to achieve a 25% reduction in drag out on the Lake line and Enterprise line |
Mar 31, 2013 |
|
It was determined that an additional two minutes of drain time would be required to reduce the drag out by 25% |
Completed April 26, 2013. |
2 |
Evaluation on the effect of production of using the increased dwell times on the Lake line and Enterprise line |
June 30, 2013 |
|
It was determined that increasing the drain time by an additional two minutes would have a significant adverse effect on the productivity of the production line making it economically unfeasible to implement. |
Completed May 2, 2013. |
3 |
Programming of PLC computers with additional dwell times. |
Dec 31, 2013 |
|
Option will not be implemented as the effect on production makes it economically unfeasible to implement. |
