Converting waste heat to energy in Shimonoseki
Our Shimonoseki, Japan, site recently found a new way to convert excess steam to electricity, reducing our dependency on purchased electricity.
The facility is required to incinerate 100% of tail gas produced by the carbon black manufacturing process and convert the heat to steam. With the installation of three STEAMSTAR™ generators, we can now convert that steam to electrical power. Each machine can generate up to 160 kilowatts of energy, and the steam that cannot be used internally is sold to a neighboring facility

Later, students split into groups of five to discuss accident prevention activities and brainstorm response procedures for various real-life situations.
