Aniline
Discharges

TRI
TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
I
called
CIBA
Specialty
Chemicals
to
ask
about
the
aniline
discharges
reported
to
the
2000
TRI.
I
was
directed
to
Mr.
Paul
Daniels.

Mr.
Daniels
in
the
High
Point,
NC
location
of
CIBA
explained
that
they
manufacture
commodity
chemicals.
They
make
phenol,
acetone,
bis­
phenol(
a),
and
many
other
commodity
chemicals.
He
explained
that
they
no
longer
manufacture
aniline.

I
asked
him
if
they
monitor
for
aniline.
He
checked
and
they
have
two
outfalls.
One
is
stormwater
mixed
with
all
other
process
effluent,
and
the
other
is
the
effluent
from
their
biological
treatment.
They
have
extended
aeration
that
then
goes
through
a
clarifier.
Their
permit
has
a
long
list
of
priority
pollutants
from
OCPSF's
1990
regulation.
They
monitor
aniline
on
both
outfalls
quarterly.
To
estimate
their
releases
for
the
2000
TRI,
they
used
the
detection
limit
for
aniline,
though
aniline
was
never
detected.
