Handbook of industrial hydrocarbon processes

Speight, James G; 01/02/2011

This handbook presents an analysis of the process steps used to produce industrial hydrocarbons from various raw materials and presents a thorough analysis of external factors effecting production such as: cost, availability and environmental legislation. An A-Z list of raw materials and their properties is presented along with a commentary regarding cost and availability. Specific processing operations described in the book include: distillation, thermal cracking and coking, catalytic methods, hydroprocesses, thermal and catalytic reforming, isomerization, alkylation processes, polymerization processes, solvent processes, water removal, fractionation and acid gas removal. Included are:- Flow diagrams and descriptions of more than 250 leading-edge process technologies; an analysis of chemical reactions and process steps that are required to produce chemicals from various raw materials; properties, availability and environmental impact of various raw materials used in hydrocarbon processing
