Abstract
The Clear Lake Plant of Celanese Chemicals has implemented a strategy to reduce energy consumption. The plant identified, designed, and completed several projects to improve its chemical production processes. These projects reduce steam use, fuel gas use, and electricity use. Some involved capital changes, but most used existing assets more effectively. Celanese now realizes cost savings while operating a more efficient and reliable plant.
