<title>Development of Pollution Prevention and Waste Minimization Profiles Emphasizing PBT Chemical Reductions for Petroleum Refineries</title><meta name="keywords"

<meta name="description" content="This report documents the evaluation of seven petroleum refineries (in Wyoming, North Dakota, Montana and Colorado) to assess and update the industrys voluntary initiatives to implement Pollution Prevention/Waste Minimization (P2/WM) projects. Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) contaminants were emphasized in addition to numerous conventional pollutants. Over thirty-one (31) significant P2/WM initiatives were documented including "minimum," conventional efforts that have been voluntarily "self-imposed" by most refiners in the industry and more innovative and case-specific initiatives. Evidence provided indicates these initiatives yielded a benefit of approximately 10,000 tons per year (tpy) in voluntary reductions of combined air emissions, water effluents and waste generation rates during the project evaluation timeframe.  Due to industrial competition and evolving P2/WM efforts, it is expected that the seven refineries evaluated will meet or exceed the 10,000 tons per year reduction level in the future.
