Energy Conservation Through the Use of Modular Refractory Fiber Linings - An Unexpected Divided
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Several years ago, J T Thorpe Company embarked on a search for the ideal refractory lining. The primary design consideration was the development of a refractory lining system that was cost effective, met furnace design ...
Relative Investment Risks and Returns of Energy Management and Production Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Engineering managers must routinely make decisions on how to allocate limited resources to achieve the most benefit. Energy conservation and increased or new productivity are two areas which compete for operating and capital ...
Ninety - Two Percent Minimum Heater Efficiency By 1980
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Technology is now available to increase heater efficiencies to 92 percent and more. By 1980, this technology will be field proven and corrosion and reliability problems identified and resolved.
Recent studies have shown ...
Energy Conservation Revamps in Fluid Catalytic Cracking Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
The FCC process continues as one of the major refinery technologies despite changes in refinery operations. The main fractionator/vapor recovery systems associated with many FCC units have the potential for significant ...
A Practical Approach to Process Analysis and Improvement for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
A practical approach to process analysis and improvement for energy conservation has been developed by establishing the required technical basis, which arises from the first and the second laws of thermodynamics. As the ...
Sensitivity Analysis of Factors Effecting the Financial Viability of Cogeneration Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Cogeneration represents an alternative available for industry to take advantage of energy conservation through simultaneous generation of thermal energy and electricity. A positive regulatory climate can further contribute ...
Selecting Financing Strategies to Overcome Corporate Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
If energy conservation is such a good idea, why are we still having conferences to discuss ways to conserve? Why isn't every industrial building in America retrofit and the issue resolved? The list of answers to that ...
Proper Design Saves Energy for Molecular Sieve Dehydration Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
The molecular sieve system is a significant energy user in the cryogenic gas plant. Designing and operating the system properly can save thousands of dollars in fuel each year. A poorly designed energy saving system can ...
Energy Guideline Factors Provide a Better Measure of Refinery Energy Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Exxon Company, U.S.A. refineries reduced energy consumption by 25% between 1972 and 1978 compared with an 18% reduction for the U.S. Petroleum Refining Industry over the same period. The Exxon approach to conserving energy ...
Industrial Energy Conservation Potentials in North Carolina
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
The energy crisis has been of concern
to us all since the early seventies, yet
energy inefficiency in many industrial
operations is still very common. Although
some manufacturers are aware of energy cost
saving ...
