In addition, non-soluble oils, <br /> usually called"tramp oils" are generated from lubrication of mechanical parts in the <br /> machine, such as gears and sliding worktables. <br /> Acquisition of numerically controlled machines, which internally recycle and filter the <br /> cutting fluid will continue to help reduce machining coolant waste in the future for <br /> comparable production levels. In addition, LLNL utilizes alternative cutting technologies <br /> such as high-power water jet machining. <br /> SOURCE REDUCTION/POLLUTION PREVENTION EVALUATION <br /> Description of Measure: <br /> LLNL plans to continue to upgrade and expand capacity with machines with more <br /> modern internal coolant recycling systems. No other source reduction measures are <br /> planned at this time. <br /> September 1, 2019 SB 14 Plan III-5 <br /> ESH-EFA-P2S-19-16592 <br />
