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 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.

Mohammad Reza Rahimpour

Prof. Mohammad Reza Rahimpour is a professor in Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University joint with University of Sydney, Australia 1988. He started his independent career as Assistant Professor in September 1998 at Shiraz University. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour, was a Research Associate at University of California, Davis from 2012 till 2017. During his stay in University of California, he developed different reaction networks and catalytic processes such as thermal and plasma reactors for upgrading of lignin bio-oil to biofuel with collaboration of UCDAVIS. He has been a Chair of Department of Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University from 2005 till 2009 and from 2015 till 2020. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour leads a research group in fuel processing technology focused on the catalytic conversion of fossil fuels such as natural gas, and renewable fuels such as bio-oils derived from lignin to valuable energy sources. He provides young distinguished scholars with perfect educational opportunities in both experimental methods and theoretical tools in developing countries to investigate in-depth research in the various field of chemical engineering including carbon capture, chemical looping, membrane separation, storage and utilization technologies, novel technologies for natural gas conversion and improving the energy efficiency in the production and use of natural gas industries.

Maryam Meshksar

Dr. Maryam Meshksar is currently a Process Engineer at Petrochemical Industries Design and Engineering Company (PIDEC). Beside the experience of design and construction of oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, she has worked at Shiraz University as a research associate for more than 2 years because she got her PhD in Chemical Engineering from this university in 2022. Her research has focused on gas separation, clean energy, and catalyst synthesis. In gas separation, she is working on the membrane separation process, and in the clean energy field, she has more than 14 articles on different reforming-based processes for syngas production from methane experimentally. She has also synthesized novel catalysts for these processes that are tested for the first time. These catalysts were synthesized via hard templating materials like leaf biotemplates and glucose. Dr. Meshksar has also contributed significantly to the writing and editing of numerous books and book chapters for esteemed publishers like Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley. She served as editor of several book series on the fields of greenhouse gases, synthesis gases, natural gas, and homogeneous catalysis.
