    • Heat Integrate Heat Engines in Process Plants 
      Hindmarsh, E.; Boland, D.; Townsend, D. W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      This paper presents a novel method for the integration of heat engines into total processes to effect large energy savings. Paybacks are often short. The method is applicable to new designs and retrofits and is ...
    • ICI's Approach to Total Energy Savings on Ethylene Plants 
      Hindmarsh, E.; Boland, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Recent technological developments have led to the creation of the rigorous simulation models for ethylene plants which can be run in concert with advanced, thermodynamic “pinch” procedures. This new approach enables ...
    • Industrial Heat Pumps: Appropriate Placement and Sizing Using the Grand Composite 
      Ranade, S. M.; Hindmarsh, E.; Boland, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      Correct thermodynamic placement of heat pumps is a necessary condition for optimality. The most sophisticated equipment designs can do very little to improve the cost-effectiveness of inappropriately placed heat pumps. ...
    • The Pinch Explosion 
      Rossiter, A. P.; Boland, D. (Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
      A dramatic growth in the range of applications of pinch technology has been seen in recent years. These include increasingly sophisticated analysis of heat exchanger network design problems; resiliency tests; ...
    • Pinch Technology-Theory into Practice 
      Saboo, A.; Craw, I.; Hindmarsh, E.; Boland, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      This paper covers the fundamentals of pinch technology and its application in practice. The paper presents an overview of the approach to the practical use of the technology and illustrates the approach with a case study.
    • Site-Wide Optimization Using an Operations Center 
      Boland, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
      "Most industrial sites consist of more that one individual production unit. Whenever this is the case, there is a natural tendency to treat the operation and performance of each unit as one entity within its own right. ...
