Provides a complete treatment on two of the hottest topics in
the energy sector - acid gas injection and carbon dioxide
sequestration
This book provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date
coverage of two techniques that are rapidly increasing in
importance and usage in the natural gas and petroleum industry
-- acid gas injection and carbon dioxide sequestration. The
author, a well-known and respected authority on both processes,
presents the theory of the technology, then discusses practical
applications the engineer working in the field can implement.
Both hot-button issues in the industry, these processes will
help companies in the energy industry "go green," by creating a
safer, cleaner environment. These techniques also create a more
efficient and profitable process in the plant, cutting waste and
making operations more streamlined.
This outstanding new reference includes:
* Uses of acid gas injection, the method of choice for disposing
of small quantities of acid gas
* Coverage of technologies for working towards a zero-emission
process in natural gas production
* A practical discussion of carbon dioxide sequestration, an
emerging new topic, often described as one of the possible
solutions for reversing global warming
* Problems and solutions for students at the graduate level and
industry course participants
