ADEQ Releases Schools Chemical Management Toolkit to Assist Schools in Maintaining Safe Classroom Environment

 

Subject: [ADEQ Media] ADEQ Releases Schools Chemical Management Toolkit to Assist Schools in Maintaining Safe Classroom Environment

This announcement is for informational purposes only. Please do not reply to this e-mail. Questions may be directed to the contact provided in each notice. Thank you.

PHOENIX (Sept. 27, 2012) – Arizona Department of Environmental Quality officials announced today the release of a 60-page schools chemical management toolkit publication to assist school districts throughout the state in managing chemicals used at schools.

 

An online version of the toolkit is available in English at http://www.azdeq.gov/ceh/download/sc_toolkit.pdf and in Spanish at http://www.azdeq.gov/ceh/download/sc_toolkit-SP.pdf

 

The toolkit was developed to provide Arizona schools with basic information and resources needed to remove unnecessary, outdated or unknown chemicals from school labs and storage places.  It provides guidance to prevent chemical mismanagement of incidents in schools and also serves as an educational tool to heighten awareness of the importance of proper chemical management.

 

"This is an important compilation of guidelines, resources and procedures to help schools around the state effectively oversee the use of chemicals and make sure that students and school personnel are protected," said ADEQ Director Henry Darwin. "When chemicals are mismanaged they create risk from spills, fires and other accidental exposures in and around schools."

 

The toolkit provides a roadmap for a school district or individual school to establish a school chemical management program and avoid hazardous chemical incidents. The program identifies, manages and prevents hazards through all stages of chemical purchasing, storage, use and disposal.

 

The release of the toolkit follows on the heels of a successful ADEQ-sponsored cleanup last month at three schools in the Nogales Unified School District funded by a $54,716 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. More than 200 pounds of chemicals were collected and disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.

Donaldson DPF LNF LXF Pre Filters

Do you want to ensure your Donaldson DPF performs as well as possible?  Consider installing a new pre-filter.  The purpose of the pre-filter in the Donaldson LNF/LXF is to oxidize particulate matter (PM) and generate NO_2.  The NO₂ generated in the pre-filter section oxidizes PM in the DPF section.  The pre-filter can reduce up to 30% of the PM removed by the entire system.  A properly functioning pre-filter can extend the life of the DPF.  Engine malfunctions such as leaking fuel injectors or turbochargers can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the pre-filter.  Because the pre-filter is the first line of defense against upstream engine component failures, keeping a replacement pre-filter on-hand can prevent vehicle downtime.  The pre-filter should be replaced in cases of engine component failure and/or damaged DPF sections to ensure the LNF/LXF functions properly.

To assist in assuring proper pre-filter performance, for a limited time DCI is offering discounts on LNF/LXF pre-filters plus free shipping on orders of 5 pcs or more.

DPF, CARB, CDTI, Diesel Particulate Filters,

Slowed DPF and related after-treatment sales in California?

 

An article written by

Written by Michelle Fisher

Pulled from “School Transportation News”

 

Clean-tech emissions control company Clean Diesel Technologies Inc. today announced that its sales so far this year are consistent with the results of a survey by the Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association, which revealed a “slow pace” of diesel particulate filter sales under the mandatory California Truck and Bus Regulation.

According to results released last month, the total number of verified DPFs sold by MECA member companies for in-use, on-road heavy-duty diesel vehicles operating in California, including school buses, is 3,030 for the first half of 2012.

Retrofit manufacturers such as CDTi were expecting this number to be much higher due to the requirements of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in-use truck and bus regulation. Under the regulation, CARB projected that approximately 12,000 filters would be installed in 2012 to meet a Jan. 1, 2013 compliance deadline and about 66,000 would be installed from 2011 to 2015. Yet the 3,030 verified DPFs sold between Jan. 1 and June 30 is only half of the projected amount.

CDTi said this could be attributable to the level of operator education and the intensity of state enforcement actions. Working with the California Highway Patrol and other agencies, the CARB deployed inspectors throughout the state in August, focusing on truck stops, fleet facilities, weigh stations and other areas where diesel vehicles are present to ensure full compliance with the regulation’s requirements.

“The rate of verified DPFs sold has been below our and the industry’s expectations. However, while we have been successful in winning fleet operator business, we expect the trends to continue through the third quarter,” said Craig Breese, chief executive officer of CDTi. “We trust that the targeted and coordinated efforts by multiple state agencies will stimulate operators to initiate steps to comply with the Jan. 1, 2013 deadline and drive sales in the fourth quarter and beyond.”

CDTi, a manufacturer and distributor of emissions control systems and products, also stated that its product portfolio would expand further with pending CARB approvals.

Allison Transmission PROGNOSTICS - School Bus Transmissions

New MD and HD Allison Transmission PROGNOSTICS Information, be prepared when your driver calls in with the warning or the Tech completes a service and needs to reset the data.....

Eliminate Unnecessary Oil and Filter Changes

Routine Maintenance Made Easier

  

As part of Allison Transmission’s continuous product

improvement initiative, all Allison fully automatic

transmissions are now available with prognostic

features

* at no additional charge.

Allison prognostics take the guesswork and hassle out

of scheduling routine vehicle maintenance to save you

time and money while providing maximum protection

for the transmission. That means less downtime, lower

life-cycle costs and, best of all, greater productivity for

your fleet.

Calibrated to the particular operating requirements

of the vehicle, Allison prognostics monitor various

operating parameters to determine and alert when a

specific maintenance function is required. Allison

approved TES 295 transmission fluid is required.

 

 

On-highway models only. Allison transmissions can be ordered

without Allison prognostics.

 
 

Allison prognostics alert

when service is due

How Allison prognostics work.

While Allison prognostics use sophisticated

electronic monitoring technology, they are

very user friendly.

When service is due for Allison

3000/4000 Series models,

a wrench icon on the shift

selector’s digital display alerts

the operator. And, similar to

checking fluid level and diagnostics, you

can check the status of all three prognostic

features simply by toggling through the shift

selector’s display.

1000/2000 Series models require either a

service light or J1939 text display to alert

the operator.

Accessing prognostics via Allison shift selectors.

 

When fluid is due for a change:

The wrench icon

(3000/4000 Series) or

service light (1000/2000

Series) is

illuminated and

stays on for two minutes

after the Drive range is

selected. Once the Oil Life

Monitor mode has been accessed via the shift selector, a number

between “0” and “99” will be displayed indicating the percentage

of fluid life remaining before a change is required.

When the filter(s) are due for a change:

The wrench icon or service

light

flashes on and off for

two minutes

after the Drive

range is selected. Once the

Fluid Life Monitor mode

has been accessed via the

shift selector, an “oK” or

“Lo” will be displayed. “oK” means the filter(s) does not need to be

changed, and “Lo” means the filter(s) needs to be changed.

When clutch maintenance is due:

The wrench icon or service

light

comes on and stays on

in all ranges. Once Transmission

Health Monitor

mode has been accessed via

the shift selector, an “oK”

or “Lo” will be displayed. “oK” means no clutch maintenance is

needed, and “Lo” means clutch maintenance is required.

IHC Navistar & SCR - School Bus application?

With all the posts about International looking to Cummins for their SCR emissions, I got to thinking is this just the Cummins packaged engine and SCR, or will IHC look to install the SCR on the Maxxforce engine?

My collected oil samples from the Maxxforce engine, school bus application has as much as 10% fuel dilution, there lies the problem I see..... If you take a look at some of the earlier posts, I show several examples of failed Aftertreatment and face-plugged units as well, all a result of soot or ........... Making its way down the exhaust. My thought is IHC will have a whole other can of worms on their hands if they marry the two products together, face plugging @ 7000 miles and failure after failure on the SCR as a result of the thin oil full of diesel making the trip down the pipe.
