Featured Content from Books:Refining Processes Handbook Dr. Surinder Parkash, Ph. D In addition to covering topics like catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, and alkylation, this volume contains chapters on waste water treatment and the economics of managing or commissioning the design of a petroleum refinery. Found only in this volume is material on operating a jointly owned and operated refinery. Filled with handy process flow diagrams, this volume is the only reference that a chemical engineer or process manager in a petroleum refinery needs for answers to everyday process and operations questions.

The author is to be commended for his work and has provided a book that is useful to both practicing engineers concerned with refinery operational planning as well as for other refinery-oriented scientist diciplines. This is a very well organized and valuable edition to the refining bookshelf. ENERGY SOURCES, VOL 26, 2004

Process Engineering/SafetyAvailable June 2010Ludwigs Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, 4th Edition: Volume 2: Distillation, packed towers, petroleum fractionation, gas processing and dehydration Kayode Coker, PhD The revised 4th Edition (Vol. 2) provides a comprehensive design manuals, data and charts covering distillation and packed towers, and includes new material on process performance, fractioning, dehydration and new distillation types. It will assist the engineer in analyzing problems, finding cost effective and efficient design methods and specifications. Together, all three volumes serve the practicing engineer by providing organized design procedures, equipment suitable for application selection, and charts in readily usable form.

Handbook of Natural Gas Transmission and ProcessingSaeid Mokhatab, William A. Poe and James G. SpeightThis renowned handbook provides engineers and managers complete coverage of natural gas transmission and processing in the most rapidly growing sector to the petroleum industry. The authors provide a unique discussion of new technologies that are energy efficient and environmentally appealing at the same time. It is an invaluable reference on natural gas engineering and the latest techniques for all engineers and managers moving to natural gas processing as well as those currently working on natural gas projects.

Handbook of Materials Behavior ModelsJean LemaitreThis first of a kind reference/handbook deals with nonlinear models and properties of material. In the study the behavior of materials phenomena no unique laws exist. Therefore, researchers often turn to models to determine the properties of materials. This will be the first book to bring together such a comprehensive collection of these models.

Chemical Process Equipment (Second Edition)James R. Couper, W. Roy Penney, James R. Fair and Stanley M. WalasA facility is only as efficient and profitable as the equipment that is in it. This highly influential book is a powerful resource for chemical, process, or plant engineers who need to select, design or configure plant successfully and profitably. Written by some of the most experienced and well-known chemical and process engineers in the industry today, this information-packed volume gives the chemical or process engineers guidelines for the design and selection of chemical process equipment. It provides equipment rating forms and manufacturers data, worked examples, valuable shortcut methods, rules of thumb, and equipment rating forms to demonstrate and support the design process Heavily illustrated with many line drawings and schematics to aid understanding, graphs and tables to illustrate performance data.
