NATURAL GAS & HEAT CONSERVATION
As a global textile company, 1888 Mills recognizes that climate change is a significant environmental concern, and that reducing GHG emissions can help protect the planet. We continually evaluate and innovate at our global facilities. The following projects are currently in practice within our manufacturing facilities: SOLAR TURBINES This machine recovers exhaust heat, saves natural gas, and keeps exhaust from being emitted into the environment. MICRO MODULATION BOILERS Special controls installed on our boilers, conserve energy by measuring emissions and providing only the minimum level of fuel needed to generate steam. GAS VS. PROPANE 1888 Mills employs a dual fuel system. If natural gas demand in the surrounding community is high, we switch to propane tanks. When our propane tanks are activated, we save enough natural gas to heat 5,309 households for one hour. HEAT RECYCLING Exhaust ducts within our facilities route hot air to other operations, reducing the need for natural gas to generate this heat. HEAT EXCHANGE Hot waste water is used to heat incoming clean water reducing the need for natural gas to generate this heat. TURBINE HEAT RECLAMATION 1888 Mills reclaims steam that is generated during production. Instead of this steam wasting away into the environment, we use it to generate energy. An average 5.5 to 6 TPH (Tons per Hour) steam is being generated from the
We uses a dual fuel system that saves enough gas to heat 5,300 homes for an hour!
