Industrial energy systems channel fuels and power into a variety of
energy types such as steam, direct heat, hot fluids and gases, and shaft
power for compressors, fans, pumps, and other machine-driven equipment.
All of these processes impact the environment and are impacted by
external energy and environmental policies and regulations. Therefore
many environmental management issues are closely related to energy use
and efficiency.
Applied Industrial Energy and Environmental Management provides a
comprehensive and application oriented approach to the technical and
managerial challenges of efficient energy performance in industrial
plants. Written by leading practitioners in the field with extensive
experience of working with development banks, international aid
organizations, and multinational companies, the authors are able to
offer real case studies as a basis to their method. The book is divided
into three main parts:
-
Part one describes Energy and Environmental Management Systems (EEMS)
in current use and management techniques for energy and environmental
performance improvement.
-
Part two focuses on the engineering aspects of industrial energy
management, describing main industrial energy systems and how to
analyse and improve their energy performance.
-
Part three is the TOOLBOX on an accompanying website, which contains
data, analytical methods and questionnaires as well as software
programs, to support the practical application of the methods
elaborated on in the first two parts of the book.
This book will be a valuable resource to practising energy and
environmental management engineers, plant managers and consultants in
the energy and manufacturing industries. It will also be of interest to
graduate engineering and science students taking courses in industrial
energy and environmental management
