CHS Refinery Earns ENERGY STAR Certification
The CHS refinery at McPherson, Kan., has earned ENERGY STAR certification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This is the first time the refinery has received the certification, which is awarded to industrial facilities that have demonstrated exceptional energy efficiency and environmental performance.
堪萨斯麦克弗森CHS炼油厂荣获美国环保局(EPA)的能源化工认证。这是该炼油厂首次获得该认证,该认证授予表现出卓越能源效率和环境表现的工业设施。
"We are proud to have achieved this milestone," says Rhett Heflin, vice president of refining, who leads the McPherson team. "It's a testament to our commitment to continued operational excellence, safety and ongoing efficiency efforts over time. We are committed to continuing our efforts to improve energy efficiency at the refinery and celebrate this achievement while maintaining our focus on providing value for our farmer-owners."
“我们为达成这一里程碑感到自豪”,领导麦弗森团队的炼油副总裁Rhett Heflin说。“这证明了我们对持续的运营卓越、安全和持续的效率努力的承诺。我们致力于在保持农民业主所期望价值的同时,继续努力提高炼油厂的能源效率,并在庆祝这一成就的同时保持我们的聚焦。”
The McPherson refinery earned ENERGY STAR certification by scoring in the top 25% of comparably sized refiners for energy efficiency (using the Energy Intensity Index). The certification comes with several benefits, including use of the ENERGY STAR plant certification mark and listing in a national registry of certified facilities. To qualify for the one-year certification, the refinery participated in a Solomon study, which analyzes the refinery to measure performance. The survey data was verified by a professional engineer and submitted to the EPA.
