Alternate Fuels: Is Your Waste Stream a Fuel Source?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
Before the year 2000, more than one quarter of U.S.
businesses will be firing Alternate Fuels in their boiler
systems. And, the trend toward using Process Gases,
Flammable Liquids, and Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOC's), ...
Advanced Oxidation Technology for Pulp Mill Effluent
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
The composition of effluent from
various pulping processes can exhibit a
wide range of physical and chemical
parameters. The dissolved solids consist
of the chemicals derived from the wood
material plus the chemicals ...
Volumetric In Situ Electrical Heating: An Unexploited Electrotechnology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
The use of electrical energy to heat
large volumes of earth in place ("in situ")
offers significant advantages over
conventional in situ heat-transfer methods.
For example, where properly applied, the
near-wellbore ...
Industrial Gases as a Vehicle for Competitiveness
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
Industrial gases are produced using
compressed air and power. Improvements
in air separation technology have
resulted in a marked decrease in the cost
of nitrogen and oxygen production. The
use of those gases in ...
Chemical Applications of Electrohydraulic Cavitation for Hazardous Waste Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
We have been investigating the fundamental
chemistry and physics underlying the application of
electrohydraulic cavitation as induced by pulsed-power
plasma discharge in water, by spark-gap
discharge in water (i.e., ...
Utility Demand Side Management- DSM Lessons: Experience is the Toughest Teacher
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
Most utilities first became actively involved with energy conservation in the early 1980s with the federally mandated Residential Conservation Service (RCS) program. Legislation mandating a similar effort directed toward ...
Application of Desiccant Drying in Plastic Molding
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Desiccants are materials that have an affinity, after heating, for water vapor. Desiccant materials have long been applied in industrial processes requiring low humidity environments. A gas-fired desiccant system improved ...
Process Energy Audit for Large Industries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
This paper discusses the author's approach to energy audits of large industries. Five large industrial segments, with energy intensive processes have been selected as examples. Items include: 1) the general methodology of ...
EPC Firms Expand Their Role
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
As the independent energy industry matures, the traditional role of the engineering, procurement and construction firms is rapidly evolving into one of active participation in front-end development and long term ownership ...
Industrial Retrofits are Possible
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
Ontario is the industrial heartland of Canada and more than 80% of its energy comes from Canadian sources with the remainder from the neighbouring U.S. states. Because of the ever increasing demand for energy relating to ...
