Adipic Acid Production facilities are facilities that use oxidation to produce adipic acid. Adipic acid is a white crystalline solid used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers, plastics, coatings, urethane foams, elastomers, and synthetic lubricants. Commercially, it is the most important of the aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, which are used to manufacture polyesters.

CO2e (Carbon Dioxide Equivalent) is a metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP). The carbon dioxide equivalent for a gas is derived by multiplying the tons of the gas by the associated GWP.

Delayed Coking Unit is a refinery process unit in which high molecular weight petroleum derivatives are thermally cracked and petroleum coke is produced in a series of closed, batch system reactors. A delayed coking unit consists of the coke drums and ancillary equipment associated with a single fractionator.

...

FRS ID (Facility Registry System Identification) is a facility identification number. The Facility Registry System is a centrally managed EPA database that identifies facilities, sites or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest across various EPA programs.

Fuel Type is an aspect of the data filter that allow the user to filter on fuel type to limit the search to combustion emissions (from coal, natural gas, petroleum product, or other fuels), process emissions, or use of carbonates.

Gas collection system is a system of pipes used to collect landfill gas from different locations in the landfill by means of a fan or similar mechanical draft equipment to a single location for treatment (thermal destruction) or use. A single landfill may have multiple gas collection systems. Landfill gas collection systems do not include “passive” systems, whereby landfill gas flows naturally to the surface of the landfill where an opening or pipe (vent) is installed to allow for natural gas flow.

Zinc Production facilities are facilities with zinc smelters and secondary zinc recycling facilities. Zinc is a metal used as corrosion-protection coating on steel (galvanized metal), as die castings, as an alloying metal with copper to make brass, and as chemical compounds in rubber, ceramics, paints, and agriculture.
