Description This book is one of a kind in the field of petroleum biorefining and biological upgrade of petroleum; it presents a critical review as
well as an integrated overview of the potential biochemical processes, bridging the gap between academia and industry. It addresses
today?s demanding production challenges, taking into account energy efficient and environmentally friendly processes, and also looks
at the future possibility of implementing new refinery systems. Suitable for those practitioners the petroleum industry, students and
researchers interested in petroleum biotechnology.
Audience
Scientists, researchers and students interested in petroleum biotechnology, and chemical engineers working in the petroleum and energy industry
