Establishing and Implementing a Waste Minimization Program in the Chemical and Oil Industries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
The incentives for establishing and the expertise for implementing successful waste minimization programs can be found in every company. The “in-house” expertise that discovers, designs, builds and manages manufacturing ...
Waste Minimization: A Hidden Energy Savings?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
Several changes in the last few years have forced a
re-examination of waste generation within the petrochemical industry. In today's political/regulatory arena, industrial waste, both hazardous and non-hazardous,
has ...
Air Pollution Issues of the 1990's
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
Congress is currently debating various options for a new clean air bill. Whatever the outcome, significant social and economic changes are sure to result. Texas will be affected to one degree or another. These effects must ...
Practical Applications Of Rotordyanmics, Bearing Design, Mechanical Analysis, And Vibration Diagnostics To Design Problems of Rotating Machinery in Operation
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
A large majority of today's existing high performance rotating machinery in operation was manufactured and installed long before the advent of powerful design tools in the complex areas of rotor system dynamics and stability ...
Heavy Shell Castings Design/Operation And Repairs Criteria.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
Unless the utility industry is prepared as a whole to commit a very large dollar amount to the purchase of new heavy wall castings for turbine casings and valve chests, the use of the art of repair for existing castings ...
Reapplication Of Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The reapplication of equipment can be attractive and rewarding when the proper situation warrants. The main factors that encourage consideration of this path can include simple economics, convenience, or possibly a more ...
Solid Couplings With Flexible Intermediate Shafts For High Speed Turbocompressor Trains.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1989)
The design and application of solid couplings combined with flexible quill shafts for high speed turbocompressors are presented. Solid couplings are rigid in the axial direction. They transmit any residual thrust from one ...
The Development Of An Advanced Mechanical Seal For Slurry
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
The development of a novel mechanical seal specifically aimed at applications where the sealed medium contains a significant proportion of suspended solids is discussed. It follows the project in detail from the initial ...
Inspection And Quality Control
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Petrochemical companies are confronted daily with the need for greater equipment reliability and a decrease in the overall maintenance cost. The philosophy and objectives behind inspection and quality control of rotating ...
Cogeneration
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1989-06)
The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act ("PURPA") of 1978 was born out of the energy crisis of the 1970s. It reawakened the nearly dormant interest in industrial power generation and attached a new name, "cogeneration." ...
