Abstract

A plant-wide energy assessment sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy was conducted at Shaw Industries Group, plant #78 in Aiken, SC. The assessment team consisted of Georgia Tech faculty from the Energy & Environmental Management Center and Shaw personnel from plant #78 and the corporate energy group. The purpose of this assessment was to uncover as many opportunities for saving energy usage and costs using techniques that have been established as best practices in the energy engineering field. In addition, these findings are to be shared with similar plants in Shaw Industries Group to multiply the lessons learned. The findings from this assessment are included in this report.

Final results for the EPRI-DOE-SCS Chiyoda Thoroughbred CT-121 clean coal project at Georgia Power`s Plant Yates

Conference Burford, D

The Yates Clean Coal Project was a co-funded Clean Coal Technology effort, sponsored by the US Department of Energy, the Electric Power Research Institute and Southern Company Services (EPRI-DOE-SCS) to evaluate a retrofit wet-limestone-based, sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}) scrubbing system in treating the hot flue gases of a coal-fired, 110MW electric utility boiler. This Project tested the operational limits of Chiyoda`s CT-121 Jet Bubbling Reactor System (JBR ) at Georgia Power`s Plant Yates from 1992 through 1994. Although the original test plan called for a very conservative assessment, the CT-121 system proved robust, so it was tested at widely varyingmore »« less
Soil survey of Savannah River Plant area, parts of Aiken, Barnwell, and Allendale Counties, South Carolina. [Contains aerial photographs with sail types mapped on them. Contains glossary of terms]

Technical Report Rogers, V

The Savannah River Plant area is midway between the mountains and the coast. About a third of the land is in the southwest corner of Aiken County, and nearly two-thirds is in the western part of the Barnwell County. A small part is in Allendale County, mainly along Lower Three Runs Creek. The Savannah River, on the west side of the survey area, is the boundary between South Carolina and Georgia. The survey area makes up about 198,231 acres. Most of the land is owned by the United States Department of Energy. Barnwell Industrial Park is in the survey area.more »« less

Save Energy Now Assessment Helps Expand Energy Management Program at Shaw Industries

Program Document

The Shaw Industries carpet manufacturing plant #20 in Dalton, Georgia, optimized boiler operation and installed waste heat exchangers on two processes in the dye house and an economizer on one boiler, for a payback of 1.7 years. These results prompted plant #4, also located in Dalton, to participate in an assessment.

University of South Carolina Aiken Biofuels Laboratory in Aiken, SC

Technical Report Smith, Garriet

Biological production of hydrogen has been investigated over the past 30 years with the ultimate goal of providing a clean, carbon-neutral fuel. However, based on an extensive literature search and the recommendations of several recent DOE- and DOD-sponsored expert review panels it is obvious that an important element of this research has been largely overlooked - the physiology and diversity of naturally occurring, H2-producing bacteria. The main objective of this project was to develop a technique to extensively screen nitrogen fixing bacteria isolated from unique environments suspected of H2 production. Those showing H2-producing activity were tested on latex based mats,more »« less
