Electrically Heated High Temperature Incineration of Air Toxics
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
In-Process Technology has placed a prototype of its patented, electrically heated, packed-bed air toxics oxidizer at a northern California chemical plant. This thermal oxidizer is capable of handling a wide range of ...
New Clean Coal Cycle Optimized Using Pinch Technology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
High thermal efficiency and low
levels of environmental emissions are
priorities in the design of modern power
plants. The M. W. Kellogg Company under
funding from the Department of Energy, has
recently completed a ...
NUGs & IPPs: The Utility-Customer Relationship
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
Every electric utility forecaster predicts a tremendous increase in the amount of Non-Utility Generation (NUG) and Independent Power Production (IPP) activity. We will not bore the reader with yet another series of tables ...
Alternate Cooling Methods for Industrial Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
Cooling in industrial facilities has traditionally been performed by mechanical vapor compression units. While it remains the standard, recent concerns with the rising cost of electricity and environmental legislation ...
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1990-06)
Congress is currently debating amendments to the Clean Air Act which would strengthen and enhance the current Clean Air Act. The bill would guarantee a reduction of 10 million tons of sulfur dioxide from 1980 levels; would ...
Population, Economy and Energy Use’s Influence on Sulfur Emissions in the United States Since 1900
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
This paper seeks to identify how changes in population, economic activity, and energy use have influenced sulfur emissions during this century. A linear model is presented which characterizes sulfur emissions as the product ...
The Waste Prevention War-- Small Arms Fire Now, but the Heavy Artillery is Coming (and the Search is on for Magic Bullets)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
'Waste Prevention' is unambiguous, as contrasted with 'waste minimization' or 'waste elimination'. It means preventing the production of waste.
It isn't easy to do. Typically it requires major modification to the process:
* ...
The Industry/Utility Interface - An Overview
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1990-06)
For many years, starting in the Jate forties, a number of different factors combined to make self-generation of electrical energy cost-prohibitive except for a few very large users of electrical service. The nation's ...
Design, Construction, And Applications Of Magnetically Coupled Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Since the early 1970s, the environmental protection has become more and more important when designing industrial plants and, today, this question is always first in any public discussion. Thus, the engineering profession ...
Evolution Of A Mechanical Seal Condition Monitoring System
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Mechanical face seals have been used in fluid handling equipment for many years, with a long history of reliability and safety. Most users of mechanical seals, however, tend to have a few critical service areas where process ...
