Electrotechnologies in Process Industries

The Industrial Program at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) promotes the efficient use of electricity to improve the competitive position of the American industry. Electrotechnologies that improve productivity, improve quality and efficiency, and conserve energy are actively developed and demonstrated by the Industrial Program. Process Industries such as chemicals, petroleum, paper, textiles, and food are vital to the American economy. These industries consume nearly half of all the manufacturing industry electricity usage. It is, therefore, very important to examine applications of innovative electrotechnologies in these sectors
