Description

Advances in Natural Gas: Formation, Processing, and Applications is a comprehensive eight-volume set of books that discusses in detail the theoretical basics and practical methods of various aspects of natural gas from exploration and extraction, to synthesizing, processing and purifying, producing valuable chemicals and energy. The volumes introduce transportation and storage challenges as well as hydrates formation, extraction, and prevention.

Volume 5 titled Natural Gas Impurities and Condensates Removal comprehensively discusses related techniques for particulates like arsenic and condensates removal techniques from natural gas as well as mercury, nitrogen, and helium removal from natural gas by absorption, adsorption, cryogenic, and membrane-based processes.

Key features

  • Introduces different impurities and condensates of natural gas with their characteristics
  • Includes common methods for particulates and condensates removal from natural gas such as adsorption, absorption and cryogenic techniques
  • Describes various membrane technologies for particulates and condensates removal from natural gas

Readership

Researchers in academia, students and professors in chemical engineering, oil and gas engineering, and mechanical engineering.
