5. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code(s): 3675
6. Number of employees: 135
7. Describe the treatment system List all installed waste treatment components with capacities,
describe the processes that generate wastewaters. If the space provided is not sufficient attach a
separate sheet of paper with the system description. 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). UCC would requests that assembled product wash
water and process wastewater be allowed to be treated and discharged from outfall 006.
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.
