- Company Profile:
The mixture of permanent gases produced by the carbonization of coal in a coke oven at temperatures in excess of 1,000 degrees Celsius.
Industry:Energy
A generating unit that can produce electricity using two or more input fuels. In some of these units, only the primary fuel can be used continuously; the alternate fuel(s) can be used only as a start-up fuel or in emergencies.
Industry:Energy
Plants where coal is carbonised for the manufacture of coke in slot or beehive ovens.
Industry:Energy
Energy generated in a hydroelectric plant by water that cannot be stored or conserved and which energy is inexcess of the needs of the system producing the energy.
Industry:Energy
Thermal refining processes used to produce fuel gas, gasoline blendstocks, distillates, and petroleum coke from the heavier products of atomspheric and vacuum distillation.
Industry:Energy
The principle that larger production facilities have lower unit costs than smaller facilities.
Industry:Energy
The number of effective full-power days produced by a unit is a measure of the unit's energy generation. It is determined using the following ratio Heat generation (planned or actual) in megawatt days thermal (MWdt)(dividedby) licenced thermal power in megawatts thermal (MWt).
Industry:Energy
An individual space heater with electric resistance coils mounted behind shallow panels along baseboards. Electric baseboards rely on passive convection to distribute heated air to the space.
Industry:Energy
The flow of electric charge.The preferred unit of measure is the ampere.
Industry:Energy
The ability of an electric current to produce work, heat, light, or other forms of energy. It is measured in kilowatthours.
