Enhancement on Energy Efficiency of Steam Production
GC has performed a feasibility study of raising steam capacity by recovering heat waste from the Hydro Wax production. GC has also forecasted energy potentials of the steam production in the future, and planned to expand the production capacity to match with the upcoming potentials of the steam. As a result, the project has reduced the use of fossil fuel in the steam generation, contributing to the reduction of both the operating cost and GHG emissions.
