Energy Conservation and Cogeneration in Bottom-of-the-Barrel Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Due to the increased use of coal and the reduced demand for Bunker C and other heavy liquid fuels, more refiners are adding or increasing the capacity of their facilities for converting the bottom-of-the-barrel streams ...
Estimating Industrial Electricity Conservation Potential in the Pacific Northwest
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The Pacific Northwest is undergoing a transition in electricity generation from a predominantly hydro system to a combined hydro-thermal system. The high marginal costs of thermal generation relative to the low-cost ...
Carbon Dioxide: Threat or Opportunity?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Over the past century, fossil fuel consumption has added carbon dioxide to the atmosphere at rapidly increasing rates. The prospect of further acceleration of this rate by turning from petroleum to coal has alarmed ...
Advances in Energy Reduction in Methanol Plant Design
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Prior to the Middle East war, 'state of the art' low pressure methanol plants operated with an energy consumption of about 34 million BTU plus 55 kWh per ton of methanol product. Today's plants consume less than 27 million ...
New Industrial Park Energy Supply for Economical Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The new industrial park energy supply (NIPES) concept is an attractive approach for providing a stable, long-term domestic energy source for industrial plants at reasonable cost and reasonable financial risk. The NIPES ...
Process Antifoulants for Energy Conservation in the '80's
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Specialty chemical treatments and related services have been used for may years to enhance the efficiency of industrial processes. In particular, this paper relates to the use of proprietary antifoulants and associated ...
Coke Gasification - A Solution to Excess Coke Capacity and High Energy Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
United States crude slate is becoming heavier and generally higher in sulfur. At the same time demand of distillate products is increasing. Refiners are reworking their plans to include resid conversion via coking and ...
Waste Heat Recovery from Refrigeration
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Shortages of fossil fuels and subsequent increasing prices and curtailments of these fuels have combined to accelerate the development of alternate energy sources.
Waste heat recovery is one time-proven method of replacing ...
Efficient Energy Usage in Butane Splitters
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
A World surplus of mixed butanes coupled with an increased need for gasoline extenders has raised the demand for isobutane. Isobutane is readily separated from an admixture with normal butane by conventional distillation ...
Application of Multiple-Speed and Special Motors for Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
For the past several years substantial use has been made of a class of motors developed for application in driving loads which operate at multiple speed points to gain efficiency. While adjustable frequency power supplies ...
