U. S. Industrial Energy Consumption and Conservation: Past and Future Perspectives
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
This paper examines U.S. industrial energy consumption and conservation potentials by defining the concept of energy service which, in turn, leads to more precise consideration of various aspects of conservation. It is ...
Conservation, An In-Plant Energy Resource
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Potential energy savings of 90 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year on existing facilities in basic steel alone are attainable through retrofitting and improvement in operations. Areas covered include reheat furnaces, ...
Energy Conservation in Existing Olefins Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The manufacture of olefins in a modern steam cracking plant consumes a great deal of energy. Depending upon the feedstock, between 6000 and 12000 BTU per pound of ethylene produced is required. In older designs, those ...
Research Needs and Priorities for Textile Process Electrification
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
There are numerous electric-based process technologies which have the potential for efficiency and productivity improvement in the textile industry. The most important of these candidate technologies were discussed by ...
Electrical Energy Conservation and Load Management - An Industrial User's Viewpoint
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Conservation of electrical energy and load management can reduce industry's electric bills, conserves natural resources and reduces the need for new generating plants. In recent years, industry has implemented extensive ...
Cost-Energy Dynamics: An Engineering - Economic Basis for Industrial Energy Conservation Policies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
This paper develops a theory called cost-energy dynamics that can be used to shape policies for industrial energy conservation. It is built on two hypotheses commonly observed in process engineering; namely, cost varies ...
Gas Turbine Fired Heater Integration: Achieve Significant Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Faster payout will result if gas turbine exhaust
is used as combustion air for fired heaters. Here
are economic examples and system design considerations.
Heat Recovery Consideration for Process Heaters and Boilers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
The largest single area for industrial energy conservation is in the improvement of combustion efficiencies for heaters and boilers.
A number of methods can be employed to recover heat. The most common are by use of ...
Case Study of Two Alternative Energy Management Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Energy Management systems (EMS) have become increasingly popular for reducing energy consumption at commercial and industrial facilities. This paper documents the installation of his equipment in two buildings, one using ...
High Temperature Heat Recovery Systems Using Ceramic Recuperators
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Ceramic shell and tube recuperators capable of providing up to 1800oF (980oC) preheated combustion air and operating at process gas inlet temperatures of up to 2800oF (1540oC) have shown themselves to be cost effective ...
