  • Abstract
    Because many chemical plants require heat for process use, many opportunities exist for the development of combined heat and electric-power supply systems in these plants, which are among the largest industrial users of electricity. Special precautions must be observed in selecting electrical equipment for use in chemical plants, because of the prevalence of flammable or corrosive fumes.
