Utilities I
General
Abstract
What constitutes a utility differs from sector to sector. Water and electricity are the most universal utilities. Steam is the next most commonly used utility, then compressed air, and natural gas. Pollution control devices and plant are sometimes also considered to be utilities, but layout of these items is not considered here (see Chapter 13, Pollution Control). The utility systems considered in this book are: water and steam; electricity; compressed air; heating and cooling utilities other than water and steam; and process-specific utilities. These have been split into two parts, with general utilities in this chapter, and water/steam in Chapter 15, Utilities II: Water and Steam.
