Development and Field Testing of a Total Assessment Audit Protocol for the Chemical Industry

摘要

As part of the State Technologies Assistance Collaborative (STAC) program for the chemicals industry, a team of multi-disciplined engineers, led by the Energy Resources Center (ERC) at the University of Illinois at Chicago was brought together to design an audit program that can be used throughout the industry to help chemical manufacturers reduce operating costs. The program protocol was developed and tested at seven manufacturing sites in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. This program protocol will be made available throughout the industry to any group wishing to reduce operating costs through site audits.
