Texas Eastman's products are made beginning with propane and ethane piped in from the Gulf of Mexico. From hydrocarbon-cracking units, ethylene, propylene, and hydrogen are fed to downstream processes to manufacture:

• Solvents
• Plasticizers
• Alcohol
• Aldehydes
• Ethers
• Polypropylene
• Polyethylene

Typical processes Some Texas Eastman processes are a natural fit to manufacture fine and specialty chemicals in medium and large quantities. Examples include:

• Acetates
• Aldehydes via oxo chemistry
• Ethylene oxide derivatives
• Isobutyrates
• Nitriles
• Specialty ketones
• Specialty sodium alkoxides
• Ethoxides and isobutoxides

Manufacturing equipment - Texas Eastman's flexible semiworks facility is available for custom products. Production rates can be up to 15,000 pounds/day.

Equipment includes:
• Fixed-bed hydrogenation
• Atmospheric distillation
• Stirred tank reactors
• Vacuum distillation
Other semiworks plant uses:
• Oxidative and reductive amination chemistry
• Proving processes to be scaled up to dedicated equipment
• Small- to intermediate-size commercial projects

Responsible Care
Texas Eastman has adopted the goals of the Chemical Manufacturers Association's Responsible Care program which requires environmental responsibility and public accountability for member companies (See Appendix A).

Waste Minimization Texas Eastman continuously seeks to minimize waste generation and discharge. This has been achieved through improved operating controls and maintenance procedures throughout the plant and additional capital equipment.

Texas Eastman spent $228 million on environmental projects during the period 1988-1994 including a $45 million activated sludge wastewater treatment plant in 1990.

Texas Eastman has achieved a 32% decrease in waste generation and discharge since 1988.

Voluntary Emission Reduction Program
Texas Eastman releases 7 of the 17 materials targeted by EPA for a 50% reduction. Texas Eastman achieved a 60% reduction of these materials in 1994.

EPA Administrator's Award
Texas Eastman is a past recipient of the prestigious national Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator's Award for pollution prevention projects.

Clean Industries 2000 Award
In 1993, Texas Eastman received one of two Governor's Awards for Environmental Excellence as part of the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission (TNRCC) Clean Industries 2000 program.

Clean Industries 2000 is a program designed to protect and conserve the environment to a higher degree than required through state and federal regulations. SARA Air Emissions

Air Emissions
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires business and industry to report on air emissions of more than 500 materials. Texas Eastman has emissions of 45 of these. Since 1987, Texas Eastman has reduced emissions of these materials by 66%.

Reduction In Fugitive Air Emissions Texas Eastman has an extensive fugitive emissions monitoring and maintenance program which has reduced emissions at the plant. Most fugitive emissions are small amounts of materials which can escape from valves, flanges, pumps, seals and other sources.

Representatives from the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission have visited Texas Eastman to learn more about the company's fugitive air emissions program to encourage its implementation by others.

First Certified Environmental Operations Specialist LONGVIEW, Tex., Aug. 31, 1994--An Eastman Chemical Company employee is on the job as the nation's first and only certified environmental operations specialist.

Jeff Nobles completed a pioneering environmental operations specialist apprenticeship at Texas Eastman Division, located in Longview. He was honored during graduation ceremonies on August 18, 1994.

Robert C. Joines, vice president, Health, Safety and Environment at Eastman, said the environmental operations apprentice training at Texas Eastman Division is the first of its kind in the U.S. "Industry has long recognized the importance of apprenticeship programs," Joines said. "The environmental operations apprenticeship curriculum developed in Longview is an innovative extension of apprenticeship training and will likely be the model as similar programs are introduced throughout the industry," Joines added.

Eastman apprenticeship programs, offered through the company's Training Department have included certified training for chemical operators, lab analysts, materials handling operators, stores and receiving attendants, maintenance mechanics and electrical and instrument mechanics. The Texas Eastman Division environmental operations specialist apprenticeship training is the most recent addition to that program. Like other Eastman apprenticeship programs, it is self-paced, performance-based and certified by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Bill Hansen is responsible for the apprenticeship program at Texas Eastman Division. According to Hansen, the environmental operations specialist apprenticeship includes:

• 680 hours of related academic instruction in the use, care, operation, maintenance and calibration of organic vapor analyzers
• Concepts of process operations, mechanical equipment and instrumentation
• Field repair techniques of fugitive emissions sources
• Identification of corrosion and vibration problems
• Extensive safety training in both the related academic instruction and on-the-job training.
