Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for Process Monitoring and Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
This paper discusses recent applications of FT-IR spectroscopy to measure gas concentrations and temperatures, and particle sizes. Advances in hardware are discussed and results for field tests in pulp and paper and utility ...
Fatigue Damage Of Steam Turbine Blade Caused By Frequency Shift Due To Solid Buildup - A Case Study.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The case history is presented of a large steam turbine that experienced blade damage after about eight years of service. The probable cause and subsequent solution to the problem are addressed. A discussion of the metallurgical ...
Continuous On-Line Measurement of Lignin Concentration in Wood Pulp
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
We are working toward the development of an instrument for the continuous, on-line measurement of the lignin concentration in wood pulp. The instrument is based on laser induced fluorescence of the wood pulp and is to be ...
Energy, Product, and Economic Implications of Environmental Compliance Options- A Southern California Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Industrial plants that are faced with regulated emissions constraints may also have a complex array of compliance options from which to choose. Technology options may include a number of pollution control alternatives: ...
Designing Industrial DSM Programs that Work
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
There are many reasons why industrial customers do not implement all cost-effective efficiency measures on their own. Utility demand side management (DSM) programs can help overcome some of these barriers. DSM programs ...
Extending Quality Management to Utility Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
By installing permanent instrumentation and linking it to the appropriate software, a Utility Cost Management Information System, can be created which will identify where, when and how energy is used in a facility on a ...
Off-Balance Sheet Financing for Industrial Energy Efficiency Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Traditionally, energy efficiency projects have been financed by energy service companies (ESCOs) under a shared savings arrangement known as performance contracting. Essentially, performance contracting packages engineering, ...
DSM Load Growth Through Electrotechnology Application Assistance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
This paper will discuss how a new "win-win" approach is emerging that improves both customer competitiveness and utility energy sales as both DSM and the utility's relationship with its customers mature. While most DSM ...
On-Machine Sensors to Measure Paper Mechanical Properties
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
The measurement of the velocity of ultrasound provides a nondestructive means to characterize the elastic stiffness properties of paper. The objective of this project is to develop sensors capable of measuring the velocity ...
A Total Quality Management (TQM) Approach for Energy Savings Through Employee Awareness and Building Upgrades to Improve Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
An Energy-Efficiency and Energy-Conservation
Program relies on an active partnership between a
company's employees and its management in order
to succeed. Teamwork, from project designs to
funding, is critical. The ...
