Orion Engineered Carbons S.A. (NYSE: OEC), a worldwide supplier
of specialty and high-performance Carbon Black, today announced
that it has successfully completed a significant upgrade of its
emissions controls at its plant in Orange, Texas. As a result of
these actions, the site complies with strengthened environmental
standards which reduce the site’s emission permits for NOx and SO2
by 2,300 metric tons of air pollutant emissions per year.
"I congratulate our project and plant teams and our contractors
for completing this project on time despite the pandemic. Their
dedication, this investment, and other proactive measures taken at
our Orange facility demonstrate our commitment to sustainability
and to be a good community citizen. It falls squarely within our
broader corporate sustainability initiatives that are built around
four themes; sustainable growth, being compliant in our day to day
operations, living our values and driving sustainability along our
value chain," said Corning Painter, Chief Executive Officer of
Orion Engineered Carbons.
Technology installed at the facility includes a thermal oxidizer
that is more effective than the incinerator which was previously
used to reduce the pollutants. In addition, the company installed a
Selective Catalytic Reduction reactor to reduce the emission of
NOx. The project spanned from the middle of 2019 and is now fully
operational.
