Assessment of technologies for research, development, and demonstration of industrial cogeneration and waste heat recovery in the near term. Final report
The status of advanced power systems that have the potential, when developed, of contributing to the generation of electricity in combination with process steam in the time frame from the present to 1985 to 1990, with particular applications in the chemical, petroleum refining, and paper and pulp industries was studied. Technical and economic analyses have been made of alternatives for the recovery of waste heat in the three industries and the potential for fuel savings for each of the alternatives was estimated. This report presents a number of research, development, and demonstration programs for the technologies that were deemed to warrant DOE support from the standpoint of energy conservation, economic viability, and potential for near- to intermediate-term implementation. The combined generation of process steam and electricity technologies is: heat pumps, diesel topping, combined cycles, steam turbine cogeneration, and gas turbines. The waste heat recovery systems are combustion air preheating, steam generation, bottoming cycles for electrical generation from waste heat, power recovery from pressurized product streams, and product stream heat recovery.
