Understanding Paraffin and Asphaltene in the Oil and Gas Industry

  • 1st Edition
  • August 1, 2029
  • Kenneth M. Barker
  • English
Paraffin and asphaltene scaling are long-standing challenges in the oil and gas industry, best known for clogging wells, flowlines, surface facilities, and subsurface formations. Petroleum engineers need to understand the basic chemistry behind these challenges as well as how to test and treat scaling in an economical and environmentally safe way. Understanding Paraffin and Asphaltene in the Oil and Gas Industry delivers the critical tool for engineers of all career levels to understand the formation and properties as well as testing and treating methods. Organized efficiently to break down between paraffins and asphaltenes testing then treatments, engineers can learn from real-world experiences shared by the author from 40-plus years of lessons learned. Covering the spectrum between upstream and downstream equipment, Understanding Paraffin and Ashphaltene in the Oil and Gas Industry gives petroleum engineers the practical depth of knowledge needed to cover what organic deposits are, how to determine what they are in lab and field, what kind of problems they cause, how problems can be prevented, and most importantly how problems can be solved after they have occurred in a cost effective way.

A Comprhensive Guide to Nuclear Fuel Cycles

  • 1st Edition
  • August 1, 2029
  • Florent Heidet
  • English
Nuclear Fuel Cycles: A Comprehensive Guide is a practical and systematic reference which compiles the latest knowledge and research on advanced nuclear fuel cycles. Florent Heidet of Argonne National Laboratory presents an overview of the potential fuel cycle options for a variety of different nuclear reactor types, through an analysis of different plants in different regions. The book begins with a review of current fuel cycles in deployment, before analyzing front-end components, such as natural resources, fuel fabrication and transport. It then moves onto discuss different advanced nuclear reactors as part of the fuel cycle, before analyzing important back-end considerations such as nuclear waste, spent fuel and storage technologies. This book equips readers with an in-depth understanding of this multidisciplinary area, including the scientific and technical nuances of various fuel cycle options, and guides the reader to be able to navigate the myriad of decisions they face in their professional and academic lives.

Microgrid Control

  • 1st Edition
  • July 1, 2029
  • Eklas Hossain
  • English
Microgrid Control delivers advanced research on microgrid control methods. The book provides general and complete understanding of microgrid control methodologies and is highly focused in its scope, with content that is strictly limited to microgrid control only, excluding the basic literature, protection strategy and communication strategy. It also offers a lucid description of the mathematical modeling and practical simulations of microgrid control strategies. Practical case studies fill out the work to present a complete understanding of microgrid control systems. This comprehensive approach will also aid further progress in the field by providing a state-of-the-art literature review and fueling research and development.
