Conservation, An In-Plant Energy Resource
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Potential energy savings of 90 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year on existing facilities in basic steel alone are attainable through retrofitting and improvement in operations. Areas covered include reheat furnaces, ...
Energy Conservation in Existing Olefins Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The manufacture of olefins in a modern steam cracking plant consumes a great deal of energy. Depending upon the feedstock, between 6000 and 12000 BTU per pound of ethylene produced is required. In older designs, those ...
Conservation of Energy Through Engineered Specification and Onsite Review
(Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
There is more to conservation of energy than the thickness of insulation and the materials specified. Process temperature, environment, expected life, etc., must be considered. The dimensions of the insulation must be ...
The Thermodynamics of Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
This paper is part of a session dealing with
the fundamentals of energy conservation.
The paper is intended to be a tutorial for
engineers who have not been trained in thermodynamics,
or have not practiced recently
and ...
Is There A Conflict Between Efficiency and Health?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The possibility that serious health
hazards may be caused by buildings and their
mechanical systems has recently become a
major issue, now being popularized as "sick
building syndrome." An increasingly
widespread ...
California's Energy Policy: Conservation Works
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Conservation is the foundation of California's energy policy and the largest single source of the state's 'new energy supply'. Our goal is to use economic market forces and government programs to direct energy Investments ...
Evaporative Cooling for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The evaporative cooling principle applies to all equipment that exchanges sensible heat for latent heat. Equipment of this type falls into two general categories: (1) equipment for heat rejection, such as cooling towers ...
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 ...
