Efficient Energy Utilization and Emission Reduction Strategies in Plant Operations

Book excerpt: Efficient Energy Utilization and Emission Reduction Strategies in Plant Operations summarizes technological advancements in effective energy utilization in plant operations. It provides optimal geometrical parameters to design emission control equipment for minimum energy consumption. Focusing on current and emerging technological innovations for improving the energy efficiencies of processes in several industries, such as manufacturing, mining, dairy, and other processing industries, this book explores pollution control and design methods for low-carbon environments. It also covers reductions in greenhouse gas emissions through innovative co-production of bio-oil in combined heat and power plants. This book will be a useful reference for graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of energy management, plant operations, sustainable engineering, environmental engineering, and mechanical/industrial engineering.
