their customers' profitability. They have turned ...
Advanced Fluidized Bed Waste Heat Recovery Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of
Industrial Programs, has sponsored the
development of a Fluidized Bed Waste Heat
Recovery System (FBWHRS) and a higher
temperature variant, the Ceramic Tubular
Distributor Plate ...
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, ...
Operating and Maintaining a 465MW Cogeneration Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The on-line avilability of the five Frame-7E
gas turbine generators installed at the 465MW
Lyondell Cogeneration Plant was 90% and 95.2%
respectively for the first two years of operation
(1986-87). The 140MW steam ...
High Efficiency Gas Turbines Overcome Cogeneration Project Feasibility Hurdles
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Cogeneration project feasibility
sometimes fails during early planning
stages due to an electrical cycle
efficiency which could be improved
through the use of aeroderivative gas
turbine engines. The aeroderivative
engine ...

Electric Energy Application of the New Superconductors
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
Electricity has been the major energy form enabling many of the significant technological breakthroughs of this century. While radical changes have occurred in how electricity is used, the underlying materials used in ...
Energy Recovery By Direct Contact Gas-Liquid Heat Exchange
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Energy from hot gas discharge streams can be
recovered by transfer directly to a coolant liquid in one of
several available gas-liquid contacting devices. The design of
the device is central to the theme of this paper, ...
Optimizing Control- A Survey
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The major asumptions that underlay the application
of optimizing control and the properties of the methods are
presented based on the general problem of simultanuously
optimizing and controlling a plant. The separation ...
