How One Utility is Using Pinch Technology as a Marketing Tool
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The electric utility industry is moving from a so-called natural monopoly into an era of competition, at least in the generation of power and for service to large industrial loads. Utilities are taking a different approach ...
Making Use of Pinch: A Contractors Experience
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
The recent turnaround in the chemical industry has meant that contractors are once again competing vigorously for new plant orders. This has meant plant designs have required rapid evaluation and where necessary improvement ...
Using Pinch Technology to Explore Trade-Offs Between Energy Cost, Capital Cost, Process Modifications, and Utility Selection
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Process design is a complex task. Many
decisions regarding feedstock, reaction routes,
separation alternatives, heat recovery and
utility systems must be made. Each of these
decisions, and interactions between them, ...
Industrial Process Heat Pumps--Some Unconventional Wisdom
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Recent research on the cost-effective use of
industrial process heat pumps challenges some popularly
held perceptions about the appropriate use of
this technology. Also challenged are some common
approaches to identifying ...
Process Integration of Industrial Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The integration of heat pumps into industrial
processes shows potential for energy savings. Heat
pumps must, however, be integrated properly relative
to the process pinch and the unit operations in the
process. The ...
Process Integration Study of a Food Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
This paper presents the results of a recent process
integration study by TENSA Services of a food plant.
It shows the merit of pinch technology against the
traditional wisdom in plant utility management.
Through a ...
Heat Exchanger Network Targeting, Design and Analysis: The MIDAS Package
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Recent work to consolidate
pinch-based procedures for targeting,
design and analysis of heat exchanger
networks (HENs) has focused on the
production of powerful, user-friendly
software. Advanced optimization
techniques, ...
Pinch Retrofits Provide Cost-Effective Plant Uprating Potential
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
In today's economic environment, the need for increased production rivals the desire for energy efficiency for plant operators in many sectors of the process industries. This, in turn, places additional demands on the ...
Integrated Computer Software for Process Design Methodology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
A computer-aided system for synthesis, simulation and optimization of heat exchanger networks will be described. It features Pinch Technology, its extensions and Union Carbide's in-house research and development. The ...
New Clean Coal Cycle Optimized Using Pinch Technology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1990-06)
High thermal efficiency and low
levels of environmental emissions are
priorities in the design of modern power
plants. The M. W. Kellogg Company under
funding from the Department of Energy, has
recently completed a ...
