Industrial Energy Use and Energy Efficiency in Developing Countries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
The industrial sector accounts for over 50% of energy used in developing countries. Growth in this sector has been over 4.5% per year since 1980. Energy intensity trends for four energy-intensive sub-sectors (iron and ...
Applications of Mechanical Vapor Recompression to Evaporation and Crystallization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Over the past 10-15 years, mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) has become the preferred system in many industrial evaporation and crystallization applications, because of its economy and simplicity of operation. In most ...
Energy Savings Through Application of Model Predictive Control to an Air Separation Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Air separation process plants have the interesting characteristic that energy is considered the raw material that we pay for. The true chemical feedstock, air, is widely available, has the attribute of uniform composition, ...
Energy Efficiency Business in China: A Roadmap For American Companies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
China represents an emerging market for American energy efficiency technologies. Rapid growth and market reforms are driving increased demand for foreign investment and advanced technologies that will help China meet its ...
Options for Generating Steam Efficiently
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
This paper describes how plant engineers can efficiently generate steam when there are steam generators and Heat Recovery Steam Generators in their plant. The process consists of understanding the performance characteristics ...
Merging Energy Conservation and Air Toxic Compliance for DOD Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Many of the Department of Defense (DoD) industrial operations are being consolidated and some facilities laid away. While this process is underway, DoD has attempted to renovate the old plants with state-of-the-art ...
Optimizing Aeration in Pulp Mill Secondary Treatment Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
With better spill control and lower carbon loads to the treatment system, there is excess aeration occurring at the lagoon. This leads to unnecessary power costs, especially during peak demand summer periods. A study was ...
Benchmarking Process Energy Performance From Historical Data: Bringing Sanity into Energy Budgets
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Reducing energy costs has two components: knowledge of process energy consumption and an energy management process. This concept is summed up in energy management's 2-M rule: to manage energy, energy must be measured. After ...
An Approach to Supervisory Control of an Energy Management Control System Using Fuzzy Logic
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
In this paper an approach to supervisory control of multi-stage industrial control systems is presented. This approach is based on the notion of an internal reference model, and further makes use of a fuzzy multi-objective ...
Low-Value Waste Gases as an Energy Source
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Waste gases with potentially useful fuel value are generated at any number of points in refineries, chemical plants and other industrial and commercial sites. The higher quality streams have been utilized successfully in ...
