Control of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Pulverized Coal-Fired Boilers by Dry Removal with Lime and Limestone Sorbants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Over the past decade increasing concern over the potential environmental impact associated with the emissions of both gaseous and particulate pollutants has resulted in the promulgation of strict regulatory standards ...
Constrained Optimization Technology Based on Synthesis Concepts for Solving Complex Heat Recovery Problems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Simulation of complex heat recovery systems such as crude preheat trains using computer tools is now widely practiced. ChemDesign, Inc. has developed a computer tool which can perform this calculation but is also capable ...
Design Considerations for Industrial Heat Recovery Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
High quality energy exhaust streams from U. S. industrial plants are estimated to have an energy equivalent of 2 to 3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, or about 15% of total industrial energy consumption. The value ...
Motivating People to Conserve Energy--Energy Conservation Education
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Energy is not saved merely by the installation of sophisticated computers, elaborate process equipment or wonder gadgets. Energy is saved or lost by the people who turn the valves that consume energy. The first step in any ...
Smokeless Control of Flare Steam Flow Rate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
API 931 Chapter 15 is briefly reviewed to outline the importance and problems of smokeless control of refining and petrochemical flare steam flow rate. A unique mass flow meter is described, together with application ...
Crude Distillation Unit Heat Recovery Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Baytown's Pipe Still 3 is a 95,000 barrel per day crude distillation unit. A comprehensive heat recovery and energy utilization study was done on Pipe Still 3 after a preliminary cursory study had indicated that an overall ...
Selection of Working Fluids for the Organic Rankine Cycle
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The subject of selecting working fluid and process operating conditions for the waste heat binary power cycle is addressed herein. The waste heat temperature range from 300 F to 500 F was considered the economic resource ...
How to Conduct an Energy Efficiency Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
This paper describes how to organize a team of specialists in order to conduct an energy efficiency study in a totally unfamiliar plant. In-plant data gathering techniques are presented as well as methods for obtaining ...
Fluid Catalytic Cracking Power Recovery Computer Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Fluidic cat crackers using the catalyst regeneration cycle have significant power recovery potential. Typically, the regenerator takes the spent coked catalyst and burns off the coke in an air pressurized atmosphere. The ...
How Control Improvements Save Process Heater Fuel
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Steam boilers and process heaters are the two primary combustion processes in petrochemical and petroleum refining plants. There are key differences in the evolution of these processes which resulted from the historical ...
