EPRI Journal archives from March 1993

Electrotechnologies for water treatment. (includes related articles)
March 1, 1993... THE STORY IN BRIEF Water and wastewater utilities face major changes in their treatment systems as a result of recent environment regulations. Not only do these new rules specify reduction requirements for contaminants not previously regulated,...

Images in infrared. (electronic heat-imaging systems)
March 1, 1993... THE STORY IN BRIEF electonic heat-imaging systems that work by sensing the infrared energy emitted by objects are being broadly applied in the electric utility industry in a variety of diagnostic maintenance applications. Infrared (IR) detectors...

Shedding light on the compact fluorescent. (includes related article)
March 1, 1993... THE STORY IN BRIEF Through a series of in-depth surveys, EPRI researchers have learned that many U.S. consumers are dissatisfied with currently available compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), a technology commonly promoted through utilities'...

Timely low-level waste guidelines help utilities.
March 1, 1993... With the recent closing of one of the three U.S. disposal sites for low-level radioactive waste, the impending closure of another, and the imposition of access restrictions at the third, utilities across the country are grappling with the issue...

EPRINET bulletin boards get utilities talking. (electronic information system of the Electric Power Research Institute)
March 1, 1993... When a Carolina Power & Light employee recently wanted some information on reducing the moisture content of coal, he didn't pick up the telephone. Nor did he flip through an EPRI report. He simply keyed a brief question onto the screen of his...

EPRI releases waste-to-energy guide. (Electric Power Research Institute)
March 1, 1993... The rapidly growing waste-to-energy business has drawn significant interest from the utility industry in recent years. A new EPRI report, Waste-to-Energy Screening Guide (TR-100670), and its associated software program provide utilities with the...

Hydronic thermal-distribution systems.
March 1, 1993... For many years home heating and cooling were considered commodities, and space-conditioning equipment was purchased, not on the basis of individual product features, but with an eye toward minimizing the installed cost. As a result, home builders...

ESWorkstations: the next generation. (electrical systems)
March 1, 1993... Over the years, utilities have used computer programs in a variety of tasks, ranging from generation planning to equipment troubleshooting. Developed one at a time, these programs use differing databases and interfaces. As a result, utility...

Degradation of organic compounds in contaminated soils.
