Abstract

This fact sheet documents the waste reduction measures of a company located in central Illinois that manufactures metal components used in electrical and mechanical support systems. These include conduit, process piping, wiring race ways, and other electrical equipment. The company's goals were to improve its paint line's pretreatment cleaning performance and to reduce operating costs. To achieve this, they successfully implemented ultrafiltration membrane technology, which produced significant environmental reductions and savings.
