Energy Consumption and Potential for Energy Conservation in the Steel Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The domestic steel industry, being energy-use intensive, requires between 4 and 5 percent of total annual domestic energy consumption. More than two-thirds of total steel industry energy, however, is derived from coal. ...
Solid Waste as an Energy Source
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The cost history of conventional fuels over the past several years has forced a hard search for alternate energy sources. One alternate energy source that has gained more and more acceptance is solid waste. This is the ...
"Matrix/Modular" - An Approach to Analyzing Cogeneration Opportunities in Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The petrochemical industry has long recognized that electrical and mechanical energy can be generated as a by-product of its process steam requirements. Years ago, some petrochemical plants generated all of their own ...
An Olefin Unit's Energy Audit and Implementation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
This paper will discuss an Energy Audit conducted in 1976 on Union Carbide's Texas City No. 3 Olefins Ethylene Unit. Staffing, planning, and conduct of an Audit are reviewed. Project endorsement by the multifunctional ...
Combustion Air Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The results of boiler control improvement projects may be disappointing due to unrealistic expectations and a failure to recognize the study and analysis required to ensure success. Early recognition of the need for data ...
Recovery of Energy and Chrome from Leather Waste
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The energy requirements for the leather tanning industry are considerable and depend primarily on nonrenewable fuels such as oil and natural gas. However, some 50 percent, approximately 1.85 x 1012 BTU/year, of the energy ...
Power Factor Improvement
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Power factor control is a necessary ingredient in any successful Energy Management Program. Many companies are operating with power factors of 70% or less and are being penalized through the electrical utility bill. This ...
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 ...
Coal and Co-generation at a Petro-Chemical Complex
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Celanese Chemical Company, Inc. is converting from natural gas to coal as boiler fuel at its petrochemical plant in the Texas Panhandle. Coincident with that fuel conversion is a project in conjunction with Southwestern ...
Industry - Specific Energy Conservation Opportunities in Chemical Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
During the second and third quarters of 1978, the process design function of Union Carbide's Chemicals and Plastics Division's Engineering Department prepared project energy statements for eight major capital projects. ...
