Provides a complete treatment on two of the hottest topics inthe energy sector - acid gas injection and carbon dioxidesequestration
This book provides the most comprehensive and up-to-datecoverage of two techniques that are rapidly increasing inimportance and usage in the natural gas and petroleum industry-- acid gas injection and carbon dioxide sequestration. Theauthor, a well-known and respected authority on both processes,presents the theory of the technology, then discusses practicalapplications the engineer working in the field can implement.
Both hot-button issues in the industry, these processes willhelp companies in the energy industry "go green," by creating asafer, cleaner environment. These techniques also create a moreefficient and profitable process in the plant, cutting waste andmaking operations more streamlined.
This outstanding new reference includes:
* Uses of acid gas injection, the method of choice for disposingof small quantities of acid gas
* Coverage of technologies for working towards a zero-emissionprocess in natural gas production
* A practical discussion of carbon dioxide sequestration, anemerging new topic, often described as one of the possiblesolutions for reversing global warming
* Problems and solutions for students at the graduate level andindustry course participants
