CYTEC RECEIVES RESPONSIBLE CAREŽ
ENERGY EFFICIENCY AWARDS AT TWO SITES
West Paterson, N.J., June 10, 2008 – Cytec Industries Inc.
recently received Responsible CareŽ Energy Efficiency Awards for
2007 from the American Chemistry Council (ACC) in connection
with projects at two of its U.S. manufacturing sites. Cytec was
one of only 16 companies that received the awards at the
Industrial Energy Technology Conference in New Orleans,
Louisiana.
Cytec’s Kalamazoo, Michigan, site won the award as a result of
the successful installation of a thermo-compressor project that
recovers and reuses vented waste steam in the site’s Methylated
Resin plant. In granting the award, the ACC noted that the
annual energy savings resulting from this project are more than
5 million Btu and that the project also reduces carbon dioxide
emissions by 304 tons.
Cytec’s Fortier, Louisiana, site won ACC energy awards for two
projects implemented at the site’s Sulfuric Acid plant. The
plant, which regenerates spent acid, needed to replace critical
parts in the process, and the plant’s Acid Team saw an
opportunity to save energy by upgrading replacement boiler tubes
and a blower wheel at the time they were replacing these items
and addressed these replacements through two projects. Combined
annual energy savings are 90,000 million Btu, which has an
associated annual reduction of carbon dioxide emissions of 6,000
tons.
“Cytec has demonstrated its commitment to energy efficiency and
the local community by implementing innovative practices,
procedures and processes,” said Karen Koster, Cytec’s Vice
President of Safety, Health and the Environment. “Saving energy
and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in our operations is one
of our key goals.”
The Responsible CareŽ Energy Efficiency Awards program is one of
ACC’s many ongoing initiatives to improve energy efficiency.
These projects have the added benefit of reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. Companies were recognized in five categories: Energy
Efficiency Program, Significant Improvement in Manufacturing,
Environmental Impact, Non-Manufacturing Improvement and Public
Outreach.
