Distillation: Present Status and Future Directions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Distillation will undoubtedly continue to be the most-used method for separating liquid mixtures, at any scale of operation. For this reason, and also because of its recognized energy intensiveness, distillation commands ...
Federal/Industry Development of Energy-Conserving Technologies for the Chemical and Petroleum Refining Industries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
Argonne National Laboratory has started a program to identify future RD&D projects that (i) promise cost-effective savings of scarce fuels in the chemical and petroleum refining industries, (ii) are not likely to be pursued ...
Liquid-Liquid Extraction Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Liquid-liquid extraction is the separation of one or more components of a liquid solution by contact with a second immiscible liquid called the solvent. If the components in the original liquid solution distribute themselves ...
Distillation: Energy Savings and Other Benefits From the Use of High Efficiency Packings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
A great deal of attention has been focused
lately on the use of high-efficiency packings for
distillation applications. This paper discusses
benefits that can be derived from the use of these
devices. In particular, ...
A State-Of-The-Art Review of Low Energy Separation Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
An amount of energy equivalent to 800,000 bpd of crude oil is consumed in distillation processes in the petrochemical and petroleum refining industries in the United States. This paper reviews separation processes, including ...
New Concepts in Hardware and Processes to Conserve Oil and Gas in Industrial Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
A broad program to identify and evaluate new types of hardware and processes to conserve oil and gas in chemical plants and petroleum refineries has been completed. During the course of this program, which was sponsored ...
Bioseparations- An Assessment of Current Technologies and Future Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The recent developments of recombinant-DNA technologies and of monoclonal antibody production provide exceptional potential for bringing to the market whole new classes of biological materials. In order for this potential ...
Evaluation of Packed Columns in Supercritical Extraction Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The purpose of the present work is to add to
the base of knowledge in the use of packed columns
when used in supercritical extraction service. Experimental
studies were performed on a one-inch diameter
supercritical ...
Applications for Microwave Generators in the Process Industries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Microwaves find widespread use in radar applications, in telephonic communications, and in the generation of thermal energy for heating. It is this last use that is of interest here. The use of microwave generators to dry ...
Adsorptive Drying of Organic Liquids- An Update
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Removal of small amounts of water from organic
liquids is normally handled by adsorption or by azeotropic
distillation. The latter method is well
documented and analysis or design is straightforward
so long as the ...
