Report on the 1980 Manufacturing Industries Energy Consumption Study and Survey of Large Combustors

摘要

An overview of data collected from a 1980 Manufacturing Industries Energy Consumption Study and Survey of Large Combustors was designed to collect information on large combustors in the United States and the manufacturing establishments operating them. The survey was mailed to a list of respondents in late November and early December 1980. Although responses were received from approximately 76%, the usefulness of the survey was substantially diminished for the following reasons: the results of this survey are probably somewhat biased due to systematic nonresponse error; and because of the withdrawal of authority for this survey, the EIA was unable to undertake a followup of respondents to resolve problems of missing and seemingly questionable data.
