Environmentally Friendly Cogeneration Plant Saves Time and Money with Oil Skimmer

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Performance Track Program is a prestigious program that recognizes the accomplishments of manufacturing facilities that lead the way for improving their facilities’ environmental performance (i.e. reduce air emissions and consumption of water).

Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners L.P. is an elite member of this program. They have been recognized for their proactive efforts to reduce its air emissions and water consumption since April 2005. BNYCP, along with Palmark Inc., the onsite plant Operation and Maintenance Company, believes it is their responsibility to do everything possible to ensure that the plant is environmentally compliant.

Located in Brooklyn, N.Y., Brooklyn Navy Yard is a 286-megawatt plant that produces continuous duty of 220 megawatts of electricity and up to 1,000,000 pounds of steam per hour.

Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration facility’s environmentally friendly power plant has a waste stream, which includes oily water waste that travels to a sump and is then processed via an oil/water separator. The processed mixture empties into the city sewer system and is treated in the nearby wastewater treatment plant.
