FY08 Cleaner Technology Demonstration Site
Cleaner Technology Demonstration Site Projects Reports
Industry Matching Grants
TURI's Industry Cleaner Technology Matching Grant and Demonstration Site program has provided funding, technical support, and technology dissemination for industries implementing innovative toxics use reduction technologies since 1996. In that time almost 40 companies have received over $500,000 from TURI. Grantees provide opportunities for their industry peers to see the technology up close, learn about associated management methods, and discover new opportunities to further reduce the use of toxic chemicals at their own facilities.

Demonstration of Innovative Water Conservation Process - Bristol-Myers Squibb
|
Join TURI on Thursday, May 21 or Tuesday, June 2 from 9:00 to 12:00 at Bristol-Myers Squibb's new facility (being constructed now) to learn more about the innovative solutions they have implemented to address several technical and regulatory challenges associated with their use of water during the construction of their new facility in Devens.
The start-up schedule for the overall project was not synchronized to allow utilization of the wastewater pretreatment plant during commissioning activities. As a result, BMS was looking at the possibility of having to ship over 3.8 million gallons of pipe and tank cleaning water off site at a cost of at least 50 cents per gallon!
Come to this three-hour site tour and discussion to learn more about how the BMS team addressed this problem, and how they were able to minimize the volume of wastewater generated, and the cost of managing the wastewater.

1999 the Institute included matching grant support for industries developing and improving their Environmental Management Systems as part of their overall toxics use reduction strategy. You can link to our EMS page to learn more about these matching grant projects.
