CHS Refinery Earns ENERGY STAR Certification
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.
堪薩斯麥克弗森CHS煉油廠榮獲美國環保局（EPA）的能源化工認證。這是該煉油廠首次獲得該認證，該認證授予表現出卓越能源效率和環境表現的工業設施。
"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."
“我們爲達成這一里程碑感到自豪”，領導麥弗森團隊的煉油副總裁Rhett Heflin說。“這證明了我們對持續的運營卓越、安全和持續的效率努力的承諾。我們致力於在保持農民業主所期望價值的同時，繼續努力提高煉油廠的能源效率，並在慶祝這一成就的同時保持我們的聚焦。”
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.
麥克弗森煉油廠以其能源效率(Energy Intensity Index)的比較大小排名前25%而獲得ENERGY STAR認證。該認證帶來了多項好處，包括使用ENERGY STAR植物認證標記和登記在國家認證設施名錄中。爲獲得爲期一年的認證，煉油廠參加了一項所羅門研究，該研究分析煉油廠以測量性能。調查數據由專業工程師進行驗證，並提交給環保署(EPA)。
"This designation speaks to our efforts across CHS to continue on our sustainability journey," says Heflin. "I expect our work in this area to grow."
赫夫林說：“這一認證證明了我們在整個CHS公司範圍內在可持續發展之路上的努力。我期望我們在這個領域的工作會不斷推進。”
