Abstract
This paper presents an in-depth survey of moors in two chemical plants of similar size. Survey information includes number of motors, total horsepower, and the number of motor failures. The potential for energy and demand savings is then determined and hence the dollar savings us ing a sliding rate structure currently applicable to the petrochemical industry in Louisiana. Extensive use of the program MotorMaster is us ed to determine energy and demand savings. (C) 1997 Published by Elsev ier Science S.A.
