Flare Noise Reduction Exxon Chemical- Baytown Olefins Plant: 1994 CMA Energy Efficiency Award for "Flare Noise Reduction" in the category of "Public Outreach/Plant Site"
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Numerous community complaints were received because of what nearby residents perceived as excessive noise from BOP's elevated flares. Representatives from the Baytown Olefins Plant met with community residents to better ...
A Plastic-Core Compact Heat Exchanger for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
This paper describes a compact, single-pass, cross-flow type, gas-to-gas heat exchanger with a polyolefin (polyethylene or polypropylene) core whose seams are welded through a proprietary process. It is constructed of ...
Avoiding and Managing Interruptions of Electric Service Under an Interruptible Contract or Tariff
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Many large industrial consumers of electricity purchase power through special interruptible contracts or curtailable tariffs. Historically, the number of actual interruptions has been very small -many interruptible consumers ...
Condensing Heat Exchanger for Optimization of Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Historically, boiler efficiency has been limited due to the minimum temperature allowed at the stack. Heat lost up the stack was in exchange for keeping the flue gas temperature above the water vapor dew point. If water ...
Energy Savings by Wideband Temperature Control in Telephone Offices
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
In 1982, 6.9 million BOE of energy costing nearly $600 million was used in approximately 16,000 Bell System Telephone equipment buildings. About 27% of that energy was used for heating, ventilating and air conditioning. ...
The Pumpless Alternative to Condensate Return
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
In the pumpless system we use the positive displacement concept thus eliminating the problems associated with a typical pump system.
The system uses steam or another gas as the pumping force to move the fluid from the ...
The Gas Utility View of Industrial Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
The gas industry fostered more efficient energy utilization long before the idea of energy conservation became fashionable. It became apparent in the late '60's that misguided Federal Legislation was discouraging necessary ...

Market Opportunities for Electric Drive Compressors for Gas Transmission, Storage, and Processing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
There is great interest in the large potential market for electric drives in the gas transmission, gas storage, and gas processing industries. Progressive electric utilities and astute vendors are moving to meet the needs ...
Steelcase Closed Loop Energy Recovery System - What We Have Learned With Our Operation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Energy cost increases, future shortages, and environmental concerns are making it less attractive to landfill our fuel concentrated wastes. Our 2,000 #/hr modular waste burning incinerator has operated since July, 1980. ...
