Process Waste Assessment for the Photography Laboratory
This Process Waste Assessment was conducted at the Photography Laboratory to identify waste generating processes with the goal of minimizing hazardous wastes. Since the laboratory did not operate for 14 months, the focus of this PWA was primarily to document new processes, identify waste streams, and serve as a reference for future assessments. The hazardous waste reduction realized from the remodeling were significant and include reducing waste water effluent by 92%, reducing the RA-4 developer chemistry volume by 50 gallons, reducing significant waste and water use through the shutdown of the E-6 processor, and totally eliminating formaldehyde in the C-41 stabilizer chemistry. The staff will be keeping more formal records in the future regarding the chemicals added to each unit and the wastes generated.
