Abstract
Industrial plants which require both process heat and electric power should evaluate plant energy supply systems to determine whether turbines, providing electric and/or shaft power, can improve their effective use of energy. The economic and energy considerations in such an evaluation are discussed. It is concluded that with rapidly rising fuel costs, in-plant power generation for industries requiring large quantities of process heat should continue to conserve energy resources and reduce product costs.
