This event occurred on May 27, 2020

A PDF of the presentation can be found here.

The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) will cover their recently completed metal finishing pollution prevention (P2) work funded under EPA Region 5’s Source Reduction Assistance Grant Program. The focus of the presentation will be the Rinsing Manual that was developed through the project; an overview of the project will also be provided. The Rinsing Manual is a new on-line resource developed under the project for evaluating and improving rinsing systems in the metal finishing sector. During the P2 project, the manual was used to help a Michigan metal finishing shop reduce water use and sludge generation and these results will also be discussed.

Speakers include:

  • Lisa Stobierski, National Center for Manufacturing Sciences
  • George Cushnie, CAI Resources, Inc (NCMS contractor)
