This is an industrial plant in Avonmouth where Carbon black is produced a vital ingredient for products like tyres, & rubber on windscreen wipers etc.
This plant simply uses oil as a raw input ingredient, & any air pollutants produced are very heavily filtered out whilst the only other bi product in the production process is gas. This gas is used to fire the ovens which produce the product, & additional gas is fed into generators which provide the plant with electricity. Apparently they even have a surplus of energy at times which is fed back into the national electricity grid. :o)
Enjoy this industrial upload folks, & why not listen to Mr Rock, and Roll from Amy MacDonald. :o)

Not the prettiest sight, but it sounds like they have their act together. The process sounds a lot like a charcoal briquette plant I visited. Virtually no wasted energy and low particulate emissions. Well composed and documented.

Phil, you and I live in two areas of England that are very similar. You have an oil refinery, so do we. You have large chemical works and so do we and aren't they fascinating? They are so large and complicated it always makes me wonder who could have designed them ( perhaps The Flying Spaghetti Monster?). Great as they look in the day it is at night when I think they come into their own and they start to look like lost cities in their own world of lights. As far as I'm concerned you can keep the industrial pictures coming.

You are neither taxed nor fined if you look at My Gallery.
