Andy Lien Andy graduated from Minnesota State University with a B.S. in Finance while working as the Operations Manager for Camelot Cleaners in Fargo, ND. After seven

years at Camelot, and overseeing a transition from perchloroethylene to GreenEarth cleaning technology, Andy accepted his current position at GreenEarth Cleaning as the technical operations manager.

9:00 am Presentation

Benefit From Investing in Your Business, Be Sustainable to Save time and Money

Andy Lien, Technical Operations Manager at GreenEarth Cleaning will discuss a variety of practical topics that will help your dry cleaning operations be more sustainable. If you are converting from PERC to an alternative solvent, it is necessary to replace the dry cleaning machine. But how do you know which one to buy? Which filtration system will you use? The machine options are numerous – don’t be stuck with a configuration that is costly to operate with. Learn about the most important features of new machines and how they will save you time and money. Andy will also talk about the importance of quality machine installation, programming, and setup. Learn about pre-spotting versus post-spotting and how your operating philosophy might be responsible for wasted chemicals, utilities, and labor. Finally, some tips on maintenance will help you keep your plant running smoothly and profitably.

Presenter

Mr. Avramenko holds a B.S. from the University of New York at Buffalo and a Master of Science degree from the University of Oregon.

The Corrective Action Unit is responsible for overseeing the investigation and remediation of a wide variety of RCRA regulated facilities, from small dry cleaning establishments to the large aerospace industries and federal facilities.

11:00 am Presentation

Presentation

Hazardous Waste Regulatory Overview and Dealing with Environmental Clean-up

Walter will speak about the conditions at dry cleaning facilities that would result in the Department taking an interest in the site and possibly trigger regulatory requirements to investigate and cleanup spills of the solvent PERC. This includes a discussion on what these conditions are, what the regulations say constitutes disposal of hazardous waste, who is responsible and the actions that must be performed if a release of PERC has reached soil, ground water or surface water. Examples will be provided showing how PERC can move through the environment, the time it can take to cleanup and the enormous cost associated with its characterization and remediation. He will also touch on the regulatory requirements for spills associated with alternative solvent usage.

Perc is a great cleaning solvent if managed properly. Always follow best management practices for minimizing the risk of a release. Walter will discuss perc best management practices in his presentation.
