'People Power' Saves Plant Energy
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
The common denominator in every plant manager's conservation effort is people. With this in mind, Texaco's Port Arthur refinery established a program to expand plant employees awareness of the need for conservation, and ...
Conservation of Energy Through The Use of a Predictive Performance Simulator of Operating Cooling Water Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
Conservation of energy is an important consideration in the operation of cooling water systems. Conserving energy by operating at the most effective cycles of concentration and by keeping heat exchangers clean is contingent ...
Cooling Water Systems - Energy Savings/Lower Costs By Reusing Cooling Tower Blowdown
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
Reuse of cooling tower blow down cannot only provide energy conservation, but can provide water conservation and chemical conservation. To be effective, it is critical that the water treatment program be coordinated with ...
Cogeneration in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
As a result of suggestions made at the 1979 Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) sponsored cogeneration conference, the Commission convened the 1980 Cogeneration Task Force. The Task Force was charged by a Commission ...
Site Energy Surveys
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
Operating improvements and selected investments have already improved US refining and petrochemical energy utilization efficiency by about 20%, compared to 1972 operating efficiencies. This is equivalent to saving well ...
The Energy Technologist
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
The special need for personnel to assist with energy management in the industrial and commercial/institutional sectors has resulted in a new three year, full-time, engineering program at Mohawk College.
The knowledge and ...
How Technical and Scientific Books Get Published
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
This paper discusses the dynamics of how books are published. It deals only with scientific and technical books at the professional level and does not discuss the very different types of situations related to textbooks and ...
Refinery Energy Profiling Procedure
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
This paper discusses a four-step procedure developed with support from the U.S. Department of Energy for preparing energy profiles for a refinery, for a single unit, or for an individual piece of equipment. The four steps ...
The Hidden Future Shock in Current Energy Economics
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
With the flurry of low-cost and no-cost energy conservation measures largely over, American industry is settling down to the frustrating task of assessing medium and large conservation projects. It seems that most of the ...
The Value of an Energy Audit Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
The emerging role of the Energy Manager, from a part time technician to a management level technical administrator can only be accomplished through the understanding of long-range energy control of energy facility energy ...
