- Company Profile:
The mixture of permanent gases produced by the carbonization of coal in a coke oven at temperatures in excess of 1,000 degrees Celsius.
Industry:Energy
A generating unit that can produce electricity using two or more input fuels. In some of these units, only the primary fuel can be used continuously; the alternate fuel(s) can be used only as a start-up fuel or in emergencies.
Industry:Energy
Plants where coal is carbonized for the manufacture of coke in slot or beehive ovens.
Industry:Energy
Energy generated in a hydroelectric plant by water that cannot be stored or conserved and which energy is inexcess of the needs of the system producing the energy.
Industry:Energy
Thermal refining processes used to produce fuel gas, gasoline blendstocks, distillates, and petroleum coke from the heavier products of atomspheric and vacuum distillation.
Industry:Energy
The principle that larger production facilities have lower unit costs than smaller facilities.
Industry:Energy
A process by which heavier crudeoil fractions can be thermally decomposed under conditions of elevated temperatures and pressure to produce a mixture of lighter oils and petroleum coke. The light oils can be processed further in other refinery units to meet product specifications. The coke can be used either as a fuel or in other applications such as the manufacturing of steel or aluminum.
Industry:Energy
The number of effective full-power days produced by a unit is a measure of the unit's energy generation. It is determined using the following ratio Heat generation (planned or actual) in megawatt days thermal (MWdt)(dividedby) Licensed thermal power in megawatts thermal (MWt).
Industry:Energy
A thermal cracking process which converts heavy hydrocarbons such as crude oil, tar sands bitumen, and distillation residues into light hydrocarbons. Feed stocks can be any pumpable hydrocarbons including those containing high concentrations of sulfur and metals.
Industry:Energy
An individual space heater with electric resistance coils mounted behind shallow panels along baseboards. Electric baseboards rely on passive convection to distribute heated air to the space.
