Orion completes cogen upgrade at Borger, TX plant

On October 13, Orion Engineered Carbons announced the completion of a cogeneration project at its carbon black plant in Borger, Texas. The new cogen unit uses tail gas from the carbon black production process to produce electrical power. Orion did not provide details on the size of the unit, but it will provide enough electricity to run the plant, with the excess provided back to the regional grid for local use.
