The test facility for this project manufactures junction boxes for telecommunications and cable television industries.
Powder coatings used are primarily the polyester thermosetting types.
Measurements taken included discharge wastewater analysis for metals, oil sand grease, total dissolved solids and pH. The volume and characteristics of process solid waste were also to be determined. Solid waste characteristics inlude ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity and TCLP determinations and toxic metals and volatiles. Other data sources were company historical records and vendor data. A final report will be issued for this project later in the year.
