Heat Recovery Solution of Hal C. Weaver Power Plant
Tasked with providing a method for utilizing wasted steam from UT power plant's boilers that are banked during times of low load. My team proposed a solution which would result in annual savings of $25,000+ and is currently being utilized at the Hal C. Weaver co-generation plant.
