Insulation system lowers energy costs at natural gas plant

Article Abstract:

Pittsburgh Corning Corp.'s FOAMGLAS Super K cellular glass insulation lowers energy costs at the natural-gas storage facility of Fayetteville, NC-based North Carolina Natural Gas Corp. (NCNG), a provider of natural gas and propane-related services to 166,000 clients in North Carolina. NCNG installed the cellular glass insulation in two layers, each of them two inches thick, with staggered joints. Also, Pittsburgh Corning designed each layer of FOAMGLAS Super K with 2-inch expansion joints. The new insulation allows NCNG to increase its gas production, according to Mike Cox, a 12-year NCNG veteran.

Thinking about off-peak energy savings? Think thermal storage

Article Abstract:

Thermal storage systems give operators of central cooling plants the capability to shift portions of on-peak cooling loads to off-peak hours. The technology adds flexibility in facility operation by decoupling cooling production from system load. During off-peak hours, excess cooling capacity is utilized to charge a thermal-storage tank, which is then discharged to utilizes stored cooling during on-peak hours. The technology offers several advantages such as operating cost savings, energy savings, increased peak capacity, fire protection and capital investment savings.

Engine-driven chiller system cools energy costs at Denver Airport

Article Abstract:

An electric motor-driven chiller gives considerable savings to the Denver International Airport (DIA), which already reaped $1.5 million from a demand-size management rebate. The chiller system relies heavily on DIA's $30-million central energy plant that has 12,000 tons of cooling capacity and 200 million British thermal units per hour heating capacity. The cooling system is also lauded for meeting cooling needs for communications equipment and keeping everyone comfortable in the airport.
