The removal and recovery of organic contaminants from aqueous streams by pervaporation membrane systems is a viable and economical treatment for many waste streams. Specific opportunities for the technology are identified ...

Use of Turbo Compressor/ Expanders (TCEs) as industrial reversed Brayton Cycle Heat Pumps offers many technical and energy saving advantages. Until recently, such devices have been far too expensive in both capital ...

Plastic resins used in injection molding have to be dried to specified levels prior to feeding them to the molding machines. Excess moisture if present could cause damage to the injection nozzle and also could cause ...

Complex compound sorption reactions are ideally suited for use in refrigeration cycles as an economically viable alternative to CFC refrigerants. Complex compound refrigeration provides a number of energy-saving ...

The on-line Automatic Tube Cleaning Systems (ATCS) for condensers and heat exchangers provide a positive means for automatic cleaning on a continuous basis, while the exchanger or condenser remains "on stream" and at ...

Most processing is thermal. Reaction systems and separation systems are typically dominated by their associated heat exchange. Optimization of this heat exchange has a tremendous leverage on the ultimate process efficiency. ...

With increasing concern to reduce the emission of SOx, NOx and CO2, there is a growing awareness of making most industrial processes more energy efficient. It is believed that this can be achieved through collaborative ...

In an effort to help balance load requirements and generating capacity, Houston Lighting & Power Company (HL&P) contracted with SRI International (SRI) to identify existing and emerging electrotechnologies and management ...

Water contaminated with hydrocarbons often results during the production of oil. The polluted water, which may be naturally occurring or a result of water or steam flooding operations, must be cleaned before disposal ...

A methodology is provided for evaluating the impact of various demand-side management (DSM) options on industrial customers. The basic approach uses customer metered load profile data as a basis for the customer load ...
