Carbon and Energy Saving Financial Opportunities in the Industrial Compressed Air Sector

Industry Energy Futures: Challenges and Opportunities for the U.S. Industrial Sector in a Carbon-Constrained Future

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is assessing strategies to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Analysis reveals that it will be necessary for industry to address more than energy intensity alone; for example, reductions in the carbon intensity of materials, use of low/no carbon feedstocks, the efficient use of materials, and the development of new ma...

A review on energy saving strategies in industrial sector

An industrial sector uses more energy than any other end-use sectors and currently this sector is consuming about 37% of the world’s total delivered energy. Energy is consumed in the industrial sector by a diverse group of industries includingmanufacturing, agriculture, mining, and construction and for a wide range of activities, such as processing and assembly, space conditioning, and lighting...

Energy Saving Opportunities in an Air Separation Process

The process of a large-scale air separation unit is simulated based on the industrial process and operational parameter of a petrochemical company by using ASPEN PLUS. The actual operating performance is analyzed for the total site. According to the simulation results, exergy efficiency of major equipment is analyzed. The optimization problem can be solved by a new algorithm, which combines gen...
