Flash Steam Recovery Project
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
One of the goals of Vulcan's cost reduction effort is to reduce energy consumption in production facilities through energy optimization. As part of this program, the chloromethanes production unit, which produces a wide ...
Exergy Analysis of Industrial Air Compression
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
Traditional approaches to improving energy efficiency often focus on leak-plugging and housekeeping efforts to avoid wasting energy. In many cases however, the way energy is used, rather than the amount used, is the primary ...
Water Management Technologies from Europe
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
EPRl is cooperating with European companies to apply their know-how and technologies in the United States. One such alliance involves Pell Frischmann (a UK engineering firm) and BG Technology (a UK technology firm). These ...
Electrical Usage Characterization of Semiconductor Processing Tools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
This paper presents the basic concepts in performing an energy and power audit of a semiconductor process tool. A protocol exists that fully describes these measurements and their use and applicability and it will be ...
Issues and Challenges in Energy Benchmarking
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
Benchmarking helps people understand where they stand and where they need to be to stay competitive. It provides guidance on how to get to where you want to go. Benchmarking has been conducted in the hydrocarbon processing ...
Virtual Workshops: Using Today's Networking Tools to Train Tomorrow's Experts
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
Training and development of people is absolutely critical to business success in the 21st century. Achieving this goal is increasingly difficult for many companies, however, due to issues carried over from the 20th century. ...
Energy Efficient Design of a Waste Heat Rejection System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
In small and medium sized manufacturing facilities, several situations exist where sources of waste heat and sinks needing heat transfer coexist. Examples of waste heat include but are not limited to: drained hot water ...
Outlook for Industrial Energy Benchmarking
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is exploring options to sponsor an industrial energy efficiency benchmarking study to identify facility specific, cost-effective best practices and technologies. Such a study could ...
Studies in Power Quality Success
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
The California Energy Commission is actively supporting research and development to improve power quality. Poor power quality can result in productivity losses and compromise safety. Dealing with power quality problems ...
The Constant Voltage Transformer (CVT) for Mitigating Effects of Voltage Sags on Industrial Equipment
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
