    • A Management Tool for Analyzing CHP Natural Gas Liquids Recovery System 
      Olsen, C.; Kozman, T. A.; Lee, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2008)
      The objective of this research is to develop a management tool for analyzing combined heat and power (CHP) natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery systems. The methodology is developed around the central ideas of product recovery, ...
    • A Manager's Approach to Energy Cost Management 
      Spencer, R. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      A major responsibility of management is the control and containment of operating costs. Energy costs are a major portion of the industrial budget. GM has developed a 3 phase approach to energy conservation. Phase I ...
    • Managing an Effective Leak Sealing Program 
      Rinz, W. H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      An on-line leak sealing program is an extremely effective method of cost savings to industrial plants. The dollars a plant saves can be direct and dramatic as in an avoided system shut-down or subtle and analytical as in ...
    • Managing Energy Efficiency Improvement 
      Almaguer, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
