HP Water Management: Audit your water systems for conservation, reuse and compliance options
Due to drought conditions in the northeastern U.S., many manufacturing facilities are strongly motivated to consider water conservation and reuse options. Compliance studies are typica..
New approach to real-time optimization using neural networks and fuzzy logic
The main advantages are simpler models and reduced computation time
Jump to the next level of IT productivity
Applying the same ROI requirement for every dollar spent on IT that is used on non-IT spending, management can dramatically turn potentially huge capital drains into great gains
Minimize flaring with flare gas recovery
To reduce facility-wide air emission, a refinery retrofitted the flare system and reuses waste gas as fuel gas
