    • Adsorptive Drying of Organic Liquids- An Update 
      Joshi, S.; Humphrey, J. L.; Fair, J. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      Removal of small amounts of water from organic liquids is normally handled by adsorption or by azeotropic distillation. The latter method is well documented and analysis or design is straightforward so long as the ...
    • Applications for Microwave Generators in the Process Industries 
      Humphrey, J. L.; Vasilakos, N. P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Microwaves find widespread use in radar applications, in telephonic communications, and in the generation of thermal energy for heating. It is this last use that is of interest here. The use of microwave generators to dry ...
    • Bioseparations- An Assessment of Current Technologies and Future Applications 
      Kitto, G. B.; Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      The recent developments of recombinant-DNA technologies and of monoclonal antibody production provide exceptional potential for bringing to the market whole new classes of biological materials. In order for this potential ...
    • Distillation: Energy Savings and Other Benefits From the Use of High Efficiency Packings 
      Bravo, J. L.; Fair, J. R.; Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      A great deal of attention has been focused lately on the use of high-efficiency packings for distillation applications. This paper discusses benefits that can be derived from the use of these devices. In particular, ...
    • Distillation: Present Status and Future Directions 
      Fair, J. R.; Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Distillation will undoubtedly continue to be the most-used method for separating liquid mixtures, at any scale of operation. For this reason, and also because of its recognized energy intensiveness, distillation commands ...
    • Evaluation of Packed Columns in Supercritical Extraction Processes 
      Rathkamp, P. J.; Fair, J. R.; Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      The purpose of the present work is to add to the base of knowledge in the use of packed columns when used in supercritical extraction service. Experimental studies were performed on a one-inch diameter supercritical ...
    • Federal/Industry Development of Energy-Conserving Technologies for the Chemical and Petroleum Refining Industries 
      Alston, T. G.; Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      Argonne National Laboratory has started a program to identify future RD&D projects that (i) promise cost-effective savings of scarce fuels in the chemical and petroleum refining industries, (ii) are not likely to be pursued ...
    • Liquid-Liquid Extraction Processes 
      Fair, J. R.; Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Liquid-liquid extraction is the separation of one or more components of a liquid solution by contact with a second immiscible liquid called the solvent. If the components in the original liquid solution distribute themselves ...
    • New Concepts in Hardware and Processes to Conserve Oil and Gas in Industrial Processes 
      Humphrey, J. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      A broad program to identify and evaluate new types of hardware and processes to conserve oil and gas in chemical plants and petroleum refineries has been completed. During the course of this program, which was sponsored ...
    • A State-Of-The-Art Review of Low Energy Separation Processes 
      Humphrey, J. L.; Fair, J. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      An amount of energy equivalent to 800,000 bpd of crude oil is consumed in distillation processes in the petrochemical and petroleum refining industries in the United States. This paper reviews separation processes, including ...
