Applied Industrial Energy and Environmental Management (eBook)

Industrial energy systems channel fuels and power into a variety of energy types such as steam, direct heat, hot fluids and gases, and shaft power for compressors, fans, pumps, and other machine-driven equipment. All of these processes impact the environment and are impacted by external energy and environmental policies and regulations. Therefore many environmental management issues are closely related to energy use and efficiency.

Applied Industrial Energy and Environmental Management provides a comprehensive and application oriented approach to the technical and managerial challenges of efficient energy performance in industrial plants. Written by leading practitioners in the field with extensive experience of working with development banks, international aid organizations, and multinational companies, the authors are able to offer real case studies as a basis to their method. The book is divided into three main parts:

• Part one describes Energy and Environmental Management Systems (EEMS) in current use and management techniques for energy and environmental performance improvement.

• Part two focuses on the engineering aspects of industrial energy management, describing main industrial energy systems and how to analyse and improve their energy performance.

• Part three is the TOOLBOX on an accompanying website, which contains data, analytical methods and questionnaires as well as software programs, to support the practical application of the methods elaborated on in the first two parts of the book.

This book will be a valuable resource to practising energy and environmental management engineers, plant managers and consultants in the energy and manufacturing industries. It will also be of interest to graduate engineering and science students taking courses in industrial energy and environmental management

Dr. Z. K. Morvay, holds a PhD in electrical engineering and has more than 20 years of teaching experience at universities in Croatia, the UK and Thailand. During the early 1990s he worked for a UK energy and environmental consultancy firm, managing projects for international development banks and aid organizations, technical assistance projects for governmental and consultancy projects and feasibility studies for industry. he moved to Thailand to manage the local office just before the economic crisis in South East Asia in 1997. He developed, designed and managed the implementation of a number of energy and environmental management projects for large industrial international companies from Japan, the USA, the UK and Thailand, which often evolved into cost management projects because the theme of the day at that time was cost cutting. In addition, he has practical experience of change management, training needs assessment and support for organizational learning. He is the author of a number of professional papers and of a handbook and manuals on energy and environmental subjects. Currently, he manages a national energy efficiency project in Croatia.

Dr. D. D. Gvozdenac is Professor and Chairman of Thermal Engineering at the University of Novi Sad Serbia and Thailand. This is complemented by having spent the last 15 years as an international consultant working on energy projects in Europe, Africa, South East Asia and China. He was also the director of a national energy efficiency agency and a regional energy efficiency centre. He has managed a number of energy audits in industry, solving the problems of energy and utility systems, and has developed best practice and preventive maintenance manuals for industrial equipment and machines. He is the author of a number of professional papers, editor of conference proceedings and author of training manuals. Currently, he is working on the development of a national cogeneration project in Thailand.
