(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)Two of Shell Canada's refineries have logged about six years total operating experience with modern flare gas recovery facilities. The flare gas recovery systems were designed to recover the normal continuous flare gas ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2003-05)Flare losses are typically the largest source of variable losses in a refinery or chemical plant. Since most plant flare systems are complex, there can be many opportunities to reduce costs. Losses to the flare can include ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)Milk processing in a dairy is a very energy intensive task requiring large amounts of energy to heat and cool the product. Since profit margins are small and energy costs represent such a large part of product cost it is ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)Chemical technology has been used successfully to solve many of the operational and emissions problems that result from burning coal. This paper describes the use of blended chemical flue gas conditioners to significantly ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)Because of its unique ability to handle a wide variety of liquids and solids in an energy efficient and environmentally acceptable manner, fluid bed combustion is being increasingly applied to the utilization of waste ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)The first industrial fluid bed waste heat boiler in the U. S. is operating on an aluminium melting furnace at the ALCOA Massena Integrated Aluminum Works in upstate New York. Waste heat from an aluminum melting furnace ...
