      The recently commercialized FLEXICOKING Process has a significant role to play in developing, known heavy oil reserves. The process upgrades virtually any pumpable feed including residual, pitch or total crude. Combined ...
    • Bernstein, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)
      Many energy performance projects are unsuccessful due to a variety of confounding issues but most of them stem from the owner's lack of developing a solid team, a strong set of criteria for success, and a mechanism to ...
    • Finer, E. G. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      Last year the United Kingdom spent some £37bn on energy. Analysis of energy use, through extensive studies such as the Energy Efficiency Office's "Energy Use and Energy Efficiency in UK Manufacturing Industry up to the ...
    • Duscha, R. A.; Masica, W. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      Thermal Energy Storage for Industrial Applications is a major thrust of the Department of Energy's Thermal Energy Storage Program. Utilizing Thermal Energy Storage (TES) with process or reject heat recovery systems has ...
    • Shaikh, Irfan Yusuf (Texas A&M University, 1999)
      This study shows that using better material property predictions results in better source-term modeling for high molecular weight substances. Viscosity, density, and enthalpy are used as a function of process variables, ...
    • Dussault, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
      The convergence of sustainability pressures, rising energy prices, and insatiable demand all will have a profound impact on our relationship with energy and its effect on the macro economy. There's no shortage of industrial ...
