Understanding Carbon Footprint and Costs of Atmosphere vs. Vacuum Processing

With a growing awareness of the environmental impact of thermal processing, environmental considerations are becoming more critical in operations and facilities planning. While financial planning information is often readily available, it can be difficult to compare equipment from a standpoint of environmental impact. This webinar will review a case study comparing energy consumption, operating cost, and emissions between a gas-fired atmosphere integral oil quench furnace and an electric batch vacuum oil quenching furnace performing metal heat treating.

IHEA's Sustainability and Decarbonization webinar series focuses on carbon producing heating processes and provide methods to optimize their efficiency and thereby reduce their carbon emission intensity. Additionally, these webinars cover the various scopes of carbon emissions and the methods to determine your site, or specific equipment, carbon footprint. The available DOE tools and other resources for determining and reducing your carbon footprint will be presented. Overall, this webinar series gives the attendees an excellent overview of carbon emissions, how to determine them, and how to reduce them.  Learn more about IHEA's Sustainability Initiatives by clicking here.
