Steam engine

Steam engines are used to produce electricity. The higher the water temperature provided is the more electricity is provided. You can see that when you hover over a steam engine; it displays the possible and current power production. Don't be irritated when you don't produce full power, then there is not needed more.

The engine is not blocking the flow so its possible to chain multiple engines.

Steam engines themselves don't produce any pollution. (Boiler does!)

Using other liquids?

The steam engine can use any type of liquid to generate electricity. This can be used to get rid of unused oil-products and if you heat the liquid before that, it will produce electrical power, just like with water.

But of course you should convert the unusable oil products into useables, instead of just making electricity out of it.
