The volumes introduce transportation and storage challenges as well as hydrates formation, extraction, and prevention.
Volume 6 titled Natural Gas Transportation and Storage is separated into three sections. The first section discusses different natural gas transportation technologies (such as LNG, CNG, ANG, etc.). The second section introduces related apparatus for natural gas transportation and storage, including leak detection techniques, compressors, pumps, and cold energy recovery system. The last section explains challenges of natural gas transmission including inhibition of pipeline corrosion and wax deposition, pipeline cleaning challenges, accompanied with Modelling and simulation of multiphase high-pressure natural gas release from pipelines.
- Introduces various natural gas transportation technologies (LNG, CNG, ANG)
- Describes different apparatus for natural gas transportation and storage
- Includes various challenges of natural gas transportation such as pipeline corrosion and wax deposition
Researchers in academia, students and professors in chemical engineering, oil and gas engineering, and mechanical engineering.
