Circulating Fluid Bed Combustor
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The circulating bed combustor represents an alternative concept of burning coal in fluid bed technology, which offers distinct advantages over both the current conventional fluidized bed combustion system and the pulverized ...
How to Put the Dollar Value on Waste Heat Recovery in the Process Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Waste heat recovery projects should be evaluated on their actual fuel savings and not on Btu recovery. By equating waste heat recovery with potential steam savings, the fuel (or dollar) values of the waste heat as function ...
Cutting Industrial Solar System Costs in Half
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
While there are technical, social, environmental and institutional barriers to the widespread use of solar systems, the principle barrier is economic. For commercial and industrial firms to turn to this alternate energy ...
Some Observations on Energy Efficiency and Capital Cost
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The usual expectation in the process industries is that improved energy efficiency requires increased investment. In contrast, thermodynamics might lead us to hope that if less fuel needs to be burned to supply process ...
Industrial Utilization of Coal-Oil Mixtures
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Coal-oil mixtures (COM) are receiving increasing interest as economical alternatives to residual fuel oil and natural gas used in heavy industrial and utility applications. Four basic approaches are currently employed in ...
Energy Efficiency of Phthalic Anhydride Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Developments in catalyst technology have played a major role implementing phthalic anhydride process improvements.
Steam turbines yield large energy savings, and are flexible in achieving a process heat/energy balance. ...
Optimization of Oxygen Purity for Coal Conversion Energy Reduction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The conversion of coal into gaseous and liquid fuels and chemical feedstock will require large quantities of oxygen. This oxygen will be produced in large multi-train air separation plants which will consume about 350 ...
Analytical Methods for Implementing Industrial Load Management Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Many utilities have completed long-term planning studies and have shown that a load management program is cost effective. They are now actively implementing large-scale, system-wide programs such as demand subscription, ...
Interruptible Electric Rates: Where We Are Today
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
Interruptible electric rates are as far from being a widespread method of load management today as they were almost nine years ago at the height of the Arab Oil Embargo. Utilities and industrial consumers have been ...
Energy Conservation in the 80's - A U.K. Point of View
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The pressures of energy prices and availability do not always provide sufficient incentive towards conservation, but the post 1995 scene is an incentive to industry to design and develop low energy.
The U.K. approach to ...
