Technology Verification

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has created the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program to facilitate the deployment of innovative or improved environmental technologies through performance verification and information dissemination. The goal of the ETV Program is to further environmental protection by substantially accelerating the acceptance and use of innovative, improved, and more cost-effective technologies. The ETV Program is intended to assist and inform those individuals in need of credible data for the design, distribution, permitting, and purchase of environmental technologies.

ETV works in partnership with recognized testing organizations to objectively and systematically document the performance of commercial ready environmental technologies. Together, with the full participation of the technology developer, they develop plans, conduct tests, collect and analyze data, and report findings. Verifications are conducted according to an established workplan with protocols for quality assurance. Where existing data are used, the data must have been collected by independent sources using similar quality assurance protocols.
EPA's ETV Program, through the National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL), has partnered with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) under an ETV Pilot Project to verify pollution prevention, recycling, and waste treatment technologies. This verification statement provides a summary of performance results for the Katec, Inc. Aerosolv® Aerosol Can Recycling System.

"We are presently using your Aerosolv system at our Hazardous Waste site. We are one of the largest refineries on the Gulf Coast with a 350,000-BPD plus capacity and a commitment to recycling. We recycle around 700 aerosol cans per month so your system is a vital tool in our recycling strategy."
Steve Chapman
Waste Coordinator
ExxonMobil

 

"Since we have started using our Aerosolv, we have increased our productivity and decreased our waste generation. This saves us time and money. Before Aerosolv, we generated 55 gallons of aerosol cans every 3 months. We now estimate we will only generate 15 gallons of flammable liquids over the course of a year!"
