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 omitted into the environment.
Heat Recycling Exhaust ducts within our facilities route hot air to other operations, reducing the need for natural gas to generate this heat
Gas vs. Propane 1888 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. 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.
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 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 exhaust heat recovery boiler of turbine c-40 at average load of 1850 KWHRS, saving of 440 to 480 m3 of natural gas per hour.
