Pre-Manu facture Manu- Recovery Distribution facturing Management Life Cycle Assessment: The StagesFor the sake of simplicity the life cycle is divided into unit processes usually broken down as follows: pre-manufacture, manufacture, distribution and installation, use and service, and end of life management. Each unit process is then evaluated in three areas: safety, conservation, and pollution. The inputs and outputs of each life stage are the criteria for evaluation. Use & Service Reuse Remanufacture Revert

What is a Life Cycle Assessment? • Qualitative process used to assess EH&S • impacts of product during its lifecycle • What does it provide? • Relative magnitude of EH&S impacts • Areas of information gaps • Priorities for green design • Priorities for green technology development • And…. • Raises consciousness of organization
MATERIALS OF CONCERN FOR GAS TURBINE AND ROCKET PROPULSION SYSTEMS • Materials Of Concern • Hazardous Materials Index • Product Comparisons • Standard Work • Green Technology Goals • Summary
Materials Of Concern Objectives • Identify hazardous material risks across the enterprise • Provide a deliverable for incorporation into standard work • Create a green index to drive green technology plan Rationale • Appearance of targeted materials on one or more industry, customer or regulatory list(s) of hazardous materials • Relevance to Pratt & Whitney product lines or processes • Potential linkage to product and process design callouts
Definition Of Categories • Prohibited • high risk materials not permitted in new design and development • Restricted • high risk materials that can only be used with appropriate levels of approval • plan must be established to validate alternate green material • To Be Reduced • materials known to have detrimental environmental, health and safety impacts.
Materials of Concern Prohibited Restricted To Be Reduced Arsenic & compounds Asbestos Benzene Beryllium Cadmium & compounds Chlorinated solvents Ethyl alcohol Ethylene glycol ether compounds Formaldehyde Mercury & compounds Methanol (methyl alcohol) Methylene chloride Class I ozone depleting substances Radioactive materials, including Thoriated (TD) nickel Toluene diisocyanate Chromium, hexavalent Class II ODS Cyanides Dimethylformamide HCFC-14 lb & HCFC-22 Hydrazine Hydrofluoric acid Hydrogen fluoride gas Lead & compounds Manmade fibers, e.g., cristobalite, fiberfrax MDA (4’, 4’-Methylenedianiline) Methyl alcohol (methanol) Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK, 2-butanone) Methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK, 4-methyl-2-pentanone) Phenol Styrene Toluene Xylene Acetone Ammonia Butyl alcohol Ethyl benzene n-Hexane Hydrochloric acid Isocyanates n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone Isopropyl alcohol Nickel plate Nitric acid Petroleum distillates (e.g., naptha, mineral spirits, stoddard solvent, varsol, evaporative lubricants) Phosphoric acid Sec-butyl alcohol Sulfuric acid 1, 2, 4-Trimethylbenzene
Hazardous Materials Index • Purpose • provide metric to define “greenness” of products • link materials to specifications/design callouts • Assign “toxicity” values to materials & process specifications based on Purdue University rankings • Quantify green indices based on Pratt & Whitney Canada algorithm: Ih = T*nP/N where: Ih = Hazardous Material Index T = toxicity value of specification nP = number of part numbers that call out specification N = total number of part numbers in engine
Hazardous Materials Index Implementation • Establish metrics/set goals • Establish signoff/approval protocols • Control via standard work
Standard WorkMaterials Of Concern • Contains background, contacts and protocols • References material and process specification list • Links to data base containing materials of concern, toxicity rating detail, identified by specifications • Links to menu for selection of alternate materials and processes, cross-referenced by specification
Green Technology Goals • Goals established based on driving down product hazardous materials index • Goal for legacy products will be based on designing out prohibited materials • Goal for new designs will be based on eliminating the use of restricted materials
Summary • Comprehensive effort to identify hazardous material risks across the Pratt & Whitney enterprise • Risks defined by levels of concern • Standard work tool for designers established • Goals in process of being defined • Hazardous Materials Index will drive technology
