Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is an artificially synthesized per-fluorinated chemical widely used in industry. It is often released into the environment without treatment and causes pollution in groundwater. In this paper, we employed a strip fountain dielectric barrier discharge (SF-DBD) plasma source to degrade PFOA from the water. The effects
Manufacturing process innovations improve manufacturing competitiveness by enabling new materials and technologies to be produced with precision, quality, flexibility, and controllability, as well as material and energy efficiency. Materials and manufacturing processes must often be co-optimized when developing new materials and processes.
Improving Energy Efficiency in the Chemical Industry. Monday, June 1, 2009. Author: Jeremy J. Patt and William F. Banholzer. The chemical industry is finding creative ways to reduce energy usage and reshape product life cycles. The chemical industry accounts for 6 percent of energy usage in the United States (Wells, 2008).
Following modifications to the Nanko CO 2 capture pilot plant a new "Energy Saving Process", was developed, which leads to a greater than 10% steam consumption reduction over the MHI conventional process using KS-1 TM absorbent. Additionally the same reduced steam consumption was recorded for tests using the KS-1
Efficient Processes. Deploying energy-efficient processes ensure that buildings and plants operate smoothly and efficiently. From planning new construction or major retrofits to managing a building''s day-to-day energy use, keeping energy efficiency top of mind leads to significant energy savings and reduced emissions.
In 2021, global energy intensity – a key measure of the economy''s energy efficiency – is expected to improve (that is, to fall) by 1.9% after improving by only 0.5% in 2020.
Energy efficiency has an important role to play in response to climate change mitigation and the drive towards sustainable development at the household and institutional levels. Responding to growing concerns on global warming, higher educational institutions (HEIs) are adapting to energy efficiency (EE) initiatives as integral aspects

PREFACE. This is an exciting time to be involved in industrial energy management. While the oil crisis of the 1970s precipitated a knee-jerk reaction from industry to cut dependence on foreign oil, the trend over the past 20 years has been toward a more considered and systematic approach to energy efficiency.
The energy-saving measures (E3.1 and E3.2) support the energy manager in the last step of the manufacturing system evaluation process. They enable the assessment and identification of the best intervention approach to reduce the energy and emissions footprints of the production process ( Kissock and Eger, 2008 ).
Industrial process heating furnace operations consume considerable energy in the U.S. manufacturing sector, making it crucial to identify energy efficient strategies due to the growing need to minimize energy usage and emissions. It is important to identify the potential impact of these factors to enable process engineers to operate
