Optimum Temperature Difference and Pressure Drop in Heat Exchangers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
Most processing is thermal. Reaction systems and separation systems are typically dominated by their associated heat exchange. Optimization of this heat exchange has a tremendous leverage on the ultimate process efficiency. ...
Integrated Resource Planning: A Dialogue with ELCON
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
The oil price shocks of the 1970s were a precursor to
some fundamental changes in the way the supply and
demand for energy is viewed. One response to the events of
that period is the application of integrated resource ...
Real Time Pricing Tie Line Control: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
A Tie Line Control System maintains the purchase quantity of electrical energy an industrial facility buys from a utility company. Implementing an advanced Tie Line Control system automates the buy versus make decision ...
Applications Tests of Energy Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Refrigerants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
This paper describes performance demonstrations of two members of the Ikon® family of safe, environmentally friendly, high performance substitute refrigerants for replacement of R-12 and R-134a in manufacturing and facilities ...
Conversion of Waste Biomass into Useful Products
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Waste biomass includes municipal solid waste (MSW), municipal sewage sludge (SS), industrial biosludge, manure, and agricultural residues. When treated with lime, biomass is highly digestible by a mixed culture of acid-forming ...
Climate Change Concerns and the Likely Impacts on Industrial Energy R&D
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Last December, US negotiators agreed to commit the U.S. to a binding target of reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 30% below business-as-usual (BAU) projections by 1990. Since
U.S. Industry is responsible for ...
Broad Initiatives/Sharp Focus- Cuts Electricity Consumption 15%
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Analysis of electrical consumption can payout in reduced energy costs. Continuous monitoring of electrical usage coupled with improvements and optimization in system(s) operations can have a favorable impact on annual ...
Membrane Separations Research
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
The use of membranes for separating gaseous and liquid
mixtures has grown dramatically in the past 15 years.
Applications have been dominated by light gas separations and
water purification. During this pioneering period, ...
Industrial Demand-Side Management in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
The industrial sector in Texas is highly energy
intensive and represents a large share of many utilities
electricity sales. Utilities may intervene to shape the load
of their customers through demand-side management
programs. ...
Acid/Base Recovery From Sodium Sulfate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
Large amounts of sodium sulfate are produced
as a by-product of many diverse industries.
Some of this material is recycled internally.
Some is upgraded and sold as a product. Most is
disposed of as waste in landfills, ...
