Energy Savings Potential of Process Control Valve Replacement
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
A review of current design methods for industrial process control systems that utilize modulated control valves as their final element is presented. The infornUltion that is available is then used to find the theoretic ...
Evaporative Hydrochloric Acid Recovery: Something Old, Something New...
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
This paper describes the new application of an old
teclmology, evaporative recovery, to recover spent
hydrochloric acid.
Technology Application Centers: Facilitating Technology Transfer
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Industrial DSM programs cannot succeed unless customers learn about and implement new technologies in a timely manner. Why? Because this expeditious transfer of new technologies represents the key challenge for the 1990s. ...
Recovery Boiler Modeling: An Improved Char Burning Model Including Sulfate Reduction and Carbon Removal
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
This paper describes an improved model of char burning during black liquor combustion that is capable of predicting net rates of sulfate reduction to sulfide as well as carbon burnup rates. Enhancements include a proper ...
Matching of Infrared Emitters with Textiles For Improved Energy Utilization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
The successful utilization of infrared radiation is dependent on the spectral characteristics of the material being processed and on how well the spectral output of the infrared source matches those of the material being ...
Energy Consumption Characteristics of Light Manufacturing Facilities in The Northern Plains: A Study of Detailed Data from 10 Industrial Energy Audits Conducted in 1993
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Extensive research has been done on residential
and commercial applications of existing technologies
for energy conservation. This study specifically
examines industrial facilities for energy consumption

Sulfur-Free Selective Pulping
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
A joint research effort is being conducted on ways to produce cost-effective pulping catalysts from lignin. This project addresses improving selectivities and reducing the levels of sulfur chemicals used in pulping. Improved ...
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 ...
Reducing Building Energy Costs Using Optimized Operation Strategies for Constant Volume Air Handling Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
Building energy consumption can be substantially
reduced after implementing what we call Extended
O&M Measures. The Extended O&M Measures are a
scientific refinement of traditional O&M measures.
Specifically, they ...
