Synopsis
Handbook of Industrial Hydrocarbon Processes, Second Edition provides an analysis of the process steps that are required to produce hydrocarbons from various raw materials and shows how the choice of a process depends not only on technology, but also on external effects such as social and economic developments, political factors affecting the availability of raw materials, and environmental legislation. This book qualitatively examines chemical processes and plant design by showing the factors determining process structures. These include the underlying chemistry as well as the feedstock, product specifications, and reactor design.
Handbook of Industrial Hydrocarbon Processes, Second Edition also demonstrates comparisons between the processes for different products or based on different raw materials, and the manufacturing processes will be treated according to their respective applications within each chapter. With the addition of useful flowcharts that will present an overview of the chemical processes, process design and equipment,
Handbook of Industrial Hydrocarbon Processes, Second Edition is a valuable resource to industry professionals to understand how hydrocarbons are produced from different raw materials and develop an instinct for process development strategy.
