Abstract:
Responding to concerns about global warming, carbon dioxide emissions, and the political instability that threatens the US supply, this book enables management, system analysts, and performance engineers to develop and apply an operating strategy for the on-line optimization and control of energy systems in industrial plants. It provides proven techniques for analysis that can guide equipment selection and flowsheet adjustments to reduce plant energy consumption without affecting the productive capacity of the plant.
