Description
Written by an author with over 38 years of experience in the chemical and petrochemical process industry, this handbook will present an
analysis of the process steps used to produce industrial hydrocarbons from various raw materials. It is the first book to offer 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 are presented along with a commentary regarding their 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.
