Site-Wide Optimization Using an Operations Center
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"Most industrial sites consist of more that one individual production unit. Whenever this is the case, there is a natural tendency to treat the operation and performance of each unit as one entity within its own right. ...
Design and Evaluation of a High Temperature Burner Duct Recuperator System
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"The Babcock & Wilcox Company (B&W) has completed a program to design, construct, install, and field test a ceramic-based high-temperature burner-duct-recuperator (HTBDR) in an industrial setting. The unit was capable of ...
Designing Optimal Heat and Power Systems for Industrial Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Industrial heat and power systems are complex and not fully understood as integrated systems. Within the context of the overall manufacturing process, they represent enormous capital investments and substantially contribute ...
Natural Gas Purchasing Options
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
As a result of economic and regulatory changes, the natural gas marketplace now offers multiple options for purchasers. The purpose of this panel is to discuss short-term purchasing options and how to take advantage of ...
Online Modeling in the Process Industry for Energy Optimization
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"This paper discusses how steady state models are being used in the process industry to perform online energy optimization of steam and electrical systems. It presents process demands commonly found in the processing ...
Commissioning and Start Up of a 110 MegaWatt Cogeneration Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"In December of 1987, Union Carbide successfully brought on line a 110,000 KVA combined cycle cogeneration facility. The construction, commissioning and start up of this complex facility was accomplished in a remarkably ...
Designing Flexible Heat Exchanger Networks
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Procedures and methods used for designing flexible heat exchanger networks are described. The general approach consists of defining the flexibility problem as a set of cases. Pinch Technology is then used to develop an ...
Alternatives to Industrial Cogeneration: A Pinch Technology Perspective
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Pinch Technology studies across a broad
spectrum of processes confirm that existing
plants typically consume 15-40% more thermal
energy than they should. Consequently, many
cogeneration schemes have been based on ...
Utility-Customer Rate Negotiations Blackmail or Compromise?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Whether you are employed by an industrial or a large
commercial establishment, you are now in a position to
negotiate the price and service level of your energy
sources. Utilities are busy designing creative methods ...
Evaluation of Advanced PSA and Oxygen Combustion System for Industrial Furnace Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The performance of a pilot scale advanced PSA
oxygen generation system and a low NOx oxygen
burner was evaluated for industrial furnace
applications. The PSA system employs a two-bed
vacuum cycle design with a capacity ...
