This is an introduction to Central Utility Systems concepts, theories, components and some operations practices. In addition to introducing plant operators to the very basic level of knowledge needed to understand the plant, the best fit for this book may be for those who have some duties in and around the plant and could benefit from some of the basic terms and definitions supplied here. The book focuses on District Energy Systems, but applies to virtually any boiler or steam plant and the systems they use to operate safely and efficiently. The strongest value that this book will bring is a common language as every reader will have the ability to understand the terms and phrases used in and about the plant.

Current Trends and Future Developments in (Bio-) Membranes: Cogeneration Systems and Membrane Technology offers an exhaustive overview of the status of cogeneration systems as they relate to advanced membrane technologies for energy savings. The different options for cogeneration are analyzed, both for large (district) and small (residential) size units, with different primary fuels. Energy efficiency is reported and lifecycle analysis is carried out for all different options. The book outlines strategies for engineering development and process intensification of interest to both industrial and developing countries. Finally, the book includes three chapters on lifecycle analysis (LCA) and economic analysis. - Provides an overview of the interconnections between membrane technology and the systems used for the cogeneration of electricity, such as exhaust gas cleaning, carbon capture and sequestration, and low temperature fuel cells - Includes two different studies on LCA and a case study on economic analysis - Presents comprehensive reviews on various traditional cogeneration systems and compares them to alternative membrane-based technologies - Covers membrane based technologies and their application in co-generation systems - Addresses key issues on the introduction of process intensification in energy production
