(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)This paper briefly reviews the production volume-energy usage correlation method developed and used at the Texas City plant to measure energy conservation progress. It includes basic logic of energy roll to users, conversion ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)Like it or not, believe in the science or not, greenhouse gas (GHG) legislation in response to global climate change concerns is forthcoming. Spawned by the Kyoto Accord initiative, the Kyoto Protocol is an international ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)A plant's boilers represent a large capital investment, as well as a crucial portion of overall plant operations, regardless of the industry our customers are in. It is important to have systems and procedures in place to ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)Industry sources have reported that over 90 percent of all rolling element bearings will not reach their projected design life. Millions will fail prematurely each year from such causes as dirt and moisture contamination. The ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)This paper presents several approaches to economically estimate energy savings of conservation measures for a variety of end-uses and industries. These approaches have been developed primarily during the evaluation of ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)Promoting energy efficiency to corporate CEOs and CFOs based on energy savings alone has had limited success. Experience shows that energy efficiency projects' non-energy benefits often exceed the value of energy savings, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)Staggering amounts of compressed air are wasted or misapplied in otherwise well run manufacturing facilities, often adding thousands of dollars in extra operating cost per year. The process of eliminating this expensive ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)With the adoption of a rule requiring electric utility solicitation for new resources, the Public Utility Commission of Texas set the stage in 1992 for demand-side bidding. Regulated electric utilities are now required to ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)Recent genetic improvements with some tree species has given us hybrids that have disease resistance, rapid growth, and the ability to regenerate from the stump after harvest. Grown intensively these hybrids are capable ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)Forging billets are presently brought from room temperature to forging temperature using one of three heating methods - indirect heating in a furnace, either fuel-fired or electric; direct electric resistance heating; or ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)The Binary Cooling Tower (BCT) harnesses cooling system waste heat to accomplish concentration of waste and process streams. The BCT can also be integrated to isolate and improve the efficiency of critical cooling loops. ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)The hazardous effect of electric and magnetic fields on biological systems is the subject of considerable debate. Traditional methods have failed to provide a correlation between the fields and biological effects. A model ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)Recent developments in molecular biology make the application of biology, mostly at the enzyme level, to industrial processes economically advantageous. Recombinant DNA technologies permit the synthesis of large quantities ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)In light of the unstable costs of fuels, it is prudent of industries to seek alternative sources of energy whose costs are more predictable than the prices of oil and gas. This paper will examine the use of biomass as fuel, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)The recent developments of recombinant-DNA technologies and of monoclonal antibody production provide exceptional potential for bringing to the market whole new classes of biological materials. In order for this potential ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Waste biosludge generated in Shell's Deer Park Manufacturing Complex aqueous effluent treatment facilities is disposed of by on-site incineration. In 1981, an energy conservation program resulted in a 48 percent reduction ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)The Biphase turbine is a device for effectively producing shaft power from two-phase (liquid and gas) pressure let-downs and for separating the resulting phases. No other device is currently available for simultaneously ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1993-03)After more than two decades of research and development, black liquor gasification is poised to become a commercial reality in the 90's. Several promising developments are underway in North America and Europe. In fact, all ...
