Optimizing Energy Efficiencies in IndustryEfficient Energy Management is critical as most energy intensive industries like petroleum, petro-chemicals fertilizers etc., depend upon primary energy resources. These industries are forced to explore ways and means for using energy judiciously and without much wastage. A novel method developed by the author, a specialist in energy management, explains the principles leading to optimizing energy efficiency and management. The book provides practical insights on energy use and imparts ways for initiating corrective actions. It explains the principles of operation and theory of energy intensive equipment like heaters, boilers, turbines, compressors etc. And gives the Thumb-Rules for determining the energy performance of the individual equipment and that of the total system. |
