Steam System Optimization: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
This paper highlights the study findings in a steam system in a plant from a multinational Petrochemical giant in an European country. The steam system operates with an annual budget of $8.9 million (local currency was ...
Steam Condensation Induced Waterhammer
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
This is the type of waterhammer that kills people. It's
initiating mechanism is much different than the image most engineers have of what causes waterhammer--
i.e. fast moving steam picking up a slug of
condensate and ...
Corporate Energy Management: A Survey of Large Manufacturing Companies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
Corporate practices regarding energy management vary substantially from one company to another. Some companies pay close attention to energy use throughout the corporation while others pay scant attention. This paper first ...
Comparison of Bottom-Up and Top-Down Forecasts: Vision Industry Energy Forecasts with ITEMS and NEMS
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
Comparisons are made of energy forecasts using results from the Industrial module of the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) and an industrial economic-engineering model called the Industrial Technology and Energy ...
A Novel New Approach to VOC and HAP Emission Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant) and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) thermal emission control devices (ECD) usually require large amounts of energy to operate. They also require large capital investments in heat recovery ...
Freeze Concentration Applied to Hazardous Waste Management
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
Typically as compounds crystallize they reduce in volume, as their solid density is generally greater than the liquid form. Water is unique in that as it crystallizes its density decreases as the solid ice expands. So is ...
Steam Efficiency: Impacts from Boilers to the Boardroom
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
Historically, energy utilization may have received corporate industries' attention only because of fuel price shocks or regulations imposed on industries. That history obscures the potential value that energy efficiency ...
Flash Steam Recovery Project
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
One of the goals of Vulcan's cost reduction effort is to reduce energy consumption in production facilities through energy optimization. As part of this program, the chloromethanes production unit, which produces a wide ...
Exergy Analysis of Industrial Air Compression
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
Traditional approaches to improving energy efficiency often focus on leak-plugging and housekeeping efforts to avoid wasting energy. In many cases however, the way energy is used, rather than the amount used, is the primary ...
Water Management Technologies from Europe
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
EPRl is cooperating with European companies to apply their know-how and technologies in the United States. One such alliance involves Pell Frischmann (a UK engineering firm) and BG Technology (a UK technology firm). These ...
