Maximize fuel efficiency of cogeneration system
Article Abstract:
Gas turbine-based cogeneration system design is a formidable challenge but may be facilitated through an identification of the factors controlling the fuel efficiency of such systems. These factors can then be used to develop a systematic design process. These factors include heat recovery, temperature and fuel efficiency control, flue-gas profile determination, optimum cogeneration configuration, maximum turbine net specific work and turbine exhaust matched to heat recovery.

Cogeneration facilities announced
Article Abstract:
Air Liquide America Corp of Houston, TX, has announced that it will construct two cogeneration units to provide steam and electricity to Shell Chemical's Geismar, LA, complex. Groundbreaking is scheduled for 2nd qtr 2001, and the facility is scheduled to start up in mid-2002. The facilities will produce approximately 80 MW of electricity and 600,000 lb/h of high-pressure steam.
