Descripción

This consortium effort aims to encourage the implementation of technologies that will improve both productivity and energy efficiency while lowering operating costs and environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions/carbon footprints. New high-temperature furnaces, melters, heaters, radiant devices, condensing boiler systems, direct contact water heaters, combined with advanced combustion systems, automation, controls, and monitoring equipment, are part of a solution set for industrial and institutional customers. Oxy-fuel combustors, new heat recovery schemes such as thermochemical recuperators, and hybrid concepts will be evaluated for their effectiveness in lowering carbon footprints. Workshops, webinars, tools, and application guides are being developed to help member utilities identify best practices for their customers.
