Abstract
There are numerous electric-based process technologies which have the potential for efficiency and productivity improvement in the textile industry. The most important of these candidate technologies were discussed by research leaders from the industry, utilities, engineering community, and academic institutions at the EPRI/ATMI Textile Process Application Meeting conducted by Georgia Tech in May, 1982. This meeting provided reviews of the state-of-the-art for each technology along with identification and discussion of the most important research issues. Brief overviews of electric-based technologies identified as having efficiency and productivity advantages are detailed in this paper.
