1 Slvent Reclaim and Secndary Chemical Markets 2018 Hazardus Waste Wrkshp West Michigan AWMA David Schepis

2 Agenda Explre hw slvent reclaim r secndary markets can prvide ptins fr waste generatrs, beynd direct dispsal. Primary fcus will be reclaim, brief discussin f Secndary market Define sme terms, especially arund reclaim. Explre what candidates might lk like Explre why these ptins shuld be f interest t generatrs Discuss sme f the facilities invlved, specific t Velia 2

3 What is the Secndary market? Secndary Chemical Market: A nn-waste ptin, typically fr fr raw materials. Invlves as-is use f a prduct/material by a 3 rd party. Typically fr ne-ff situatins: Expired, shrt dated, ff spec unused materials Obslete raw material- prcess changes, etc. Vlumes vary frm a few dzen drums, truck lad, tanker lad. Specialty r high value materials feasible at lwer vlumes Ptential Benefits: Avids dispsal as a waste Often at a credit, r at n charge, including utbund freight Can ffset ptential revenue lss due excess/unusable inventry Ptential Hardships: Nt all materials have a hme in the secndary market Sme cmpanies may have prtcl that wuld restrict this type f management 3

4 Secndary Market - Hw can Velia Help? We may purchase the materials directly Slvents r reagents we may use in ur natinwide peratins Acrss divisins Water, Energy, Waste We may be able t place directly with an end user Velia has custmers natinwide We wrk with strategic partners in the secndary market Natinwide cntacts with secndary market partners t prvide a wide net 4

5 Slvent Recycling - What is it? As-Is Use/Beneficial reuse Slvent recycling 3 categries: Material is useable as-is, withut further prcessing. Often ship n BOL, nt waste manifest Audit prcess t ensure end use is legitimate Tll Recycling Spent material is shipped frm a generatr, run thrugh a prcess t remve cntaminants and meet spec, then returned t the same custmer fr reuse. Typically make sense fr large vlumes (5000 gal+), and fr mre expensive slvents, but is nt as clsely tied t market values as.. Reclaim recycling Slvents frm ne r several generatrs are cmbined in a batch, prcessed and turned int a usable slvent prduct fr ther end users. Can be large r smaller vlumes, tend t be tied mre t market values f slvents. 5

6 Slvent Recycling - Why pursue it? Slvent reclaim can help yu and yur business. Meet waste reductin gals, r pursue mst desirable dispsal methd Meet sustainability gals and initiatives Supprt cst savings initiatives Versus direct dispsal Versus cntinued purchase f virgin materials (Tll) Versus virgin prduct where available recycled slvents can be used Explre a treatment ptin that yu may nt have knwn abut Enhance cmpany image, internally and externally 6

7 Wh might materials suited t reclaim? Sme cmmn industries with reclaimable slvents: Adhesive and Plymer manufacturing Autmtive Industries Cld Slvent Cleaners Electrnics Industry Metal Fabricatrs Paint and Catings Manufacturing Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Semicnductr Manufacturing Specialty Chemical Manufacturing many thers; maybe yu!

8 Slvent recycling What des a candidate lk like? Sme characteristics f gd candidates: High slvent cntent Gd recvery rate Separable frm cntaminants Lw dr (frm cntaminants) Recurring generatin (nt a deal-breaker thugh ) Gd vlume, esp. fr Tll Gd market value has t make sense ecnmically fr all We will assist with all this t assess a prspective material! 8
