Energy analysis of 108 industrial processes (original) (raw)

1985

Abstract

The data base of 108 industrial processes is an outgrowth of an effort initiated in 1976 by Drexel University under contract to the Energy Research and Development Administration. Its purpose was to provide a preliminary assessment of the quantity and quality of waste energy which may be economically practical to recover in the industrial sector. As part of the initial effort, a two-digit industrial data base was developed to characterize and correlate industrial energy utilization and waste energy sources. Identification of major waste streams of this level permitted a preliminary analysis of waste energy recovery potential to be undertaken. The result of this effort is an industrial data base consisting of energy utilization data for 60 four-digit SIC industries. Selected on the basis of energy consumption as given in the 1976 Annual Survey of Manufacturers, these four-digit industries represent over 70% of the United States industrial manufacturing energy consumption. This is based on energy consumed as purchased fuels. The data base includes industries from 13 of the 20 two-digit SIC's (20 to 39) in the industrial manufacturing sector.
