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.
堪萨斯州麦克弗森的CHS炼油厂已获得美国环境保护署（EPA）的能源之星认证。这是该炼油厂首次获得该认证，该认证颁发给表现出卓越能效和环境性能的工业设施。
"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."
领导麦克弗森团队的炼油副总裁瑞德·赫夫林说：“我们为实现这一里程碑感到自豪。”“这证明了我们对持续卓越运营、安全和持续提高效率的承诺。我们致力于继续努力提高炼油厂的能源效率，庆祝这一成就，同时继续专注于为农民所有者提供价值。”
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.
麦克弗森炼油厂获得了能源之星认证，其能源效率在同等规模的炼油厂中名列前25％（使用能源强度指数）。该认证具有多项好处，包括使用能源之星工厂认证标志以及在国家认证设施登记册中列出。为了获得为期一年的认证资格，该炼油厂参与了所罗门的一项研究，该研究对炼油厂进行了分析以衡量绩效。调查数据由专业工程师验证并提交给美国环保局。
"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."
赫夫林说：“这一称号表明了我们在CHS为继续我们的可持续发展之旅所做的努力。”“我希望我们在这一领域的工作能够增长。”
