5. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code(s): 3675
6. Number of employees: 160
7. Describe the treatment system All domestic type wastewater is discharged from an Imhoff style
solids settling and anaerobic digestion tank, using pH adjustment followed by sand filter treatment
identified as outfall 006. Non-contact cooling water, A/C condensate, deionizer backwash/reject
water, and storm water are discharged from outfall 001 with occasional pH adjustment. Outfall 003 is
A/C condensate and storm water only. Outfall 007 discharges filtered surface water (during
maintenance periods only).
Since the last permitting process, the use of boilers has ceased (note that no boiler blowdown water is
mentioned above). Therefore, UCC requests that the Chronic Toxicity requirement for outfall 001 be
eliminated.
8. Is facility covered under federal effluent limitation guidelines? No x❑ Yes ❑
If yes, specify the category?
9. Principal product(s) produced: Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
Principal raw material(s) consumed: aluminum foil, ethylene glycol
Briefly describe the manufacturing process(es): Master aluminum foil rolls are slit into width
consistent with various design specs, then rolled into a coil with separator paper between anode and
cathode aluminum sheets. The coiled units are then impregnated with propriety electrolyte(s)
consisting of either an ethylene glycol base or a gamma-butyrolactone base. The units are then
assembled into an aluminum can with a phenolic cover assembly.
