The Southern States Chemical plant located at SeaPoint Industrial Terminal Complex features a steam-driven turbo generator set that creates 2.5 MW of power, allowing the entire manufacturing facility to operate virtually electricity-neutral.
Southern States’ Wilmington plant takes a different approach to utilize the waste steam, allowing a neighboring company to purchase the steam byproduct, as opposed to burning natural gas to make their own. By using Southern States’ steam, the company next door saves money, as well as reduces their environmental footprint by burning far less natural gas.
