This paper focuses on the potential and application of developing wave energy technology in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The conditions (weather, wave climate, activity of the oil industry, etc.) in the GOM are assessed and ...

This paper will address cogeneration from a utility-affiliated cogeneration developer perspective on cogeneration as it relates to the development and consumption of power available from a cogeneration project. It will ...

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, ...

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. ...

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, ...

This paper describes application considerations, design criteria, design features, operating characteristics and performance of a 200 MW combined cycle cogeneration plant located at Occidental Chemical Corporation's ...

The composition of effluent from various pulping processes can exhibit a wide range of physical and chemical parameters. The dissolved solids consist of the chemicals derived from the wood material plus the chemicals ...

Forging billets are presently brought from room temperature to forging temperature using one of three heating methods - indirect heating in a furnace, either fuel-fired or electric; direct electric resistance heating; or ...

The use of electrical energy to heat large volumes of earth in place ("in situ") offers significant advantages over conventional in situ heat-transfer methods. For example, where properly applied, the near-wellbore ...
