opportunity relative to the other opportunities in the database. Because all
opportunities in the database are pollution prevention techniques or features,
even the least desirable position deserves consideration. Further explanation
and tailoring of this matrix to local conditions is available from a more
detailed worksheet that displays the underlying rationale.
" Applicable Design Phases shows the time period (phases) during which the
opportunity should be implemented. Six phases are defined: Engineering
Study, Functional Design, Conceptual Design, Definitive Design,
Procurement, and Construction. For example, design details such as
purchasing building materials of recycled content would not need to be
considered until the Definitive Design phase, whereas opportunities on the
systems level, such as in-process recycling, would need to be considered
during earlier stages of design. In general, the benefit will be greater if the
opportunity is implemented in the earliest phase identified within the window
of opportunity.
* Pollution Prevented in shows the life cycle phase in which pollution
prevention effects are realized. Life cycle phases are Engineering/
Procurement, Construction, Start Up, Normal Operations, Off-Normal
Operations, and Decommissioning. Some of the equipment selection
suggestions will prevent pollution during operation of the facility, but others-
-like recommendations to use materials to facilitate recycling- will not realize
a benefit until the facility is decommissioned.
. Beneficiary indicates who will realize the benefits. For most opportunities,
one group tends to receive particular benefit. The groups identified in the
EDG include Project (typically benefitted by process improvements); Site
(typically benefitted by applying pollution prevention concepts to utilities,
e.g., water, electricity, and energy); Region (typically benefitted by recycled
content products); and Global (typically associated with ozone depletors).
* Technology Availability identifies the state of the technology: Off-the-Shelf,
Experimental, or Not Applicable.
In addition, examples or references are available to help the user
assess whether or not opportunities are applicable and appropriate to the
current project. To read about brief examples, case studies or other
applicable information, the user clicks on the Example button. To view a
photograph, diagram, or illustration, the user clicks on the Picture button.
Applicable references are available by clicking on the References button.
References include the applicable paragraph from DOE Order 6430.1A, if the
opportunity is required by DOE Order, and other relevant references.
