There are five boilers producing steam at the facility. Three are oil and natural gas boilers, one is a wood, oil or natural gas boiler, and one is a wood only boiler. Wood molasses may be burned in two of the boilers, although testing while combusting molasses in Boiler #3 has not been completed. The two woodfired boilers and one of the oil/natural gas boilers are ducted to an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) for abatement of emissions.
