All eight 奥斯汀桥 & 路 hot mix asphalt plants use either piped natural gas or liquid natural gas (LNG) for the plant burner. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fuel used by asphalt plants and helps to reduce overall emissions. To keep 奥斯丁’s emissions to a minimum, company deliberately pays a premium to use LNG vs. less environmentally friendly fuel sources.
奥斯汀工业’s refinery work aims to lower the sulfur content in diesel fuels and produce cleaner-burning gasoline. Both new and revamped gas facilities are designed to meet stringent emission standards, use renewable resources, reduce oil consumption, ensure proper handling and disposal of materials, and use preventive maintenance to meet 奥斯丁’s zero-emissions standard. 奥斯汀工业 is also steadfast in its approach for leak-free start-ups of plant operations on turnaround and outage contracts.
“在奥斯丁, I’m proud to say that we are doing our part to protect the environment by using recycled products in our hot mix asphalt plants."
