Natural Gas: A Basic Handbook, Second Edition provides the reader with a quick and accessible introduction to a fuel source/industry that is transforming the energy sector. Written at an introductory

Asphalt is a complex but popular civil engineering material. Design engineers must understand these complexities in order to optimize its use. Whether or not it is used to pave a busy highway, waterpr

World gasification capacity is expected to grow by more than 70% by 2015. While gasification is not a new process, the higher price in crude has lead operators and refineries to look at all possible c

Unconventional reservoirs of oil and gas represent a huge additional global source of fossil fuels. However, there is much still to be done to improve techniques for their processing to make recovery

The increased technical nature of litigation coupled with an increase in the number of cases have given rise to the need for a book specifically written for scientists and engineers called to testify

High Acid Crudes quickly gets the refinery manager and all other relative personnel up to date on this particular type of feedstock by providing an overview and relevant details of the identification

The extraction of natural gas from shale formations is no simple task and perhaps themost expensive when compared to over unconventional gases. Although, its popularityhas grown over the years, there

The combination of global warming and peak oil has made finding alternative sources of energy more important than ever. Written in an easy-to-read format, Oil Sands Production Processes provide the re

Looking at the rising use of heavy oil and bio-feedstocks, and increasingly stringent environmental requirements, James Speight uses his considerable knowledge of the industry to provide important in

Recent oil price fluctuations continue to stress the need for more efficient recovery of heavy oil and tar sandbitumen resources. With conventional production steadily declining, advances in enhanced

Introduction to Enhanced Recovery Methods for Heavy Oil and Tar Sands, Second Edition, explores the importance of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and how it has grown in recent years thanks to the increas

Petroleum-based and natural gas-based chemicals are well-established products that have served industry and consumers for more than one hundred years. However, time is running out and natural gas and petroleum are now being depleted at a measurable rate. Thus, the need for alternative technologies to produce chemicals is necessary. Chemicals produced from sources other than natural gas and petroleum are making headway into the chemical balance. The dynamics are now coming into place for the establishment of a chemicals-from-biomass industry, recognizing that it is not only supply and demand but the available and variable technology. Biomass Processes and Chemicals is written to assist the reader in understanding the options that are available for the production of chemicals from biomass.

Reaction Mechanisms in Environmental Engineering: Analysis and Prediction describes the principles that govern chemical reactivity and demonstrates how these principles are used to yield more accurate

Biomass is a renewable resource, whose utilization has received great attention due to environmental considerations and the increasing demands of energy worldwide. Since the energy crises of the 1970s
