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 ...
Potential for Energy Efficient Motors and Variable Speed Drives in the Petroleum and Chemical Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
This paper presents an in-depth survey of motors in a refinery and a chemical plant. The potential for energy and demand savings is then determined and hence the dollar savings using a sliding rate structure currently ...
Bidding Opportunities for Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
With the adoption of a rule requiring electric utility solicitation for new resources, the Public Utility Commission of Texas set the stage in 1992 for demand-side bidding. Regulated electric utilities are now required to ...
