Steam System Optimization: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
This paper highlights the study findings in a steam system in a plant from a multinational Petrochemical giant in an European country. The steam system operates with an annual budget of $8.9 million (local currency was ...
Identifying Savings Opportunities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
In this paper, guidelines for identifying energy savings opportunities in industrial plants are discussed. The analytical approach used in this discussion stems from the fundamental principle that the total energy into and ...
Insulation of Pipe Bends Improves Efficiency of Hot Oil Furnaces
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Thermodynamic analyses of processes indicated low furnace efficiencies on certain hot oil furnaces. Further investigation, which included Infrared (IR) thermography testing of several furnaces, identified extremely hot ...
The Impact of Heat Transfer Enhancement Techniques on Energy Savings in the U.S. Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Since the mid-seventies, the manufacturing industries trend towards energy conservation has spurred both heat exchanger makers and users to try novel techniques for heat transfer enhancement. Augmentation techniques, applied ...
Waste Minimization: A Hidden Energy Savings?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
Several changes in the last few years have forced a
re-examination of waste generation within the petrochemical industry. In today's political/regulatory arena, industrial waste, both hazardous and non-hazardous,
has ...
Determination of Baselines for Evaluation and Promotion of Energy Efficiency in Wastewater Treatment Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)
Wastewater treatment plants are one of the largest energy consumers managed by the public sector. As plants expand in the future to accommodate population growth, energy requirements will substantially increase. Thus, ...
Three Paths to Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
General Electric's program of energy management and conservation continues to provide significant savings in energy costs in a climate of increasing energy prices and reduced visibility and promotion nationally. In 1984, ...
Fan Energy Savings Decisions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Axial fans are used for thousands of industrial applications consuming millions of kilowatts daily. The decision that saves dollars is to either automatically change fan speed or change blade pitch to save up to 50 percent ...
Energy Monitoring--Objectives vs Results
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Universities, hospitals and similar
institutions, as well as manufacturers and
plants have implemented programs of
utility submetering. Submetering of
utilities is defined as the measurement of
energy at or near the ...
Process Integration: Designing for Energy, Capital and Operability
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Over the last five years, significant energy savings have been achieved by several international companies using the pinch concept for heat integration. New concepts are now being added to help the designer deal with capital ...
