Wow! I don't know how they do it cuz we have to jump through some nasty hoops with environmental permits. 90% of my job is creating the controls for the offgas system that treats all that "smoke" so it can be safely emitted to the atmosphere! hehe Yep, gotta bring up this place in our next meeting!
