(3a) Use of Cogeneration in Large Industrial Projects

Author

This presentation looks at the extent of the use of cogeneration in recent large industrial projects executed by Fluor. For revamp projects, how are any increased requirements for steam and electric power addressed? For new facilities, to what extent is cogeneration being included in the design? What are the considerations when deciding whether to implement cogeneration? A brief overview is given describing the relative energy efficiency gains when using cogeneration compared to other strategies for supplying steam and electric power.
