Focusing on the origins of process gases, this volume explores their recovery, properties, and composition. It highlights the significant trend of shale gas production, particularly from hydrocarbon-rich deep shale formations, which is rapidly expanding in onshore domestic gas exploration.

Focusing on refinery processes, this book provides a comprehensive overview of gas cleaning operations. It aims to meet the needs of engineers and scientists across all levels, from academic settings to practical refinery applications. By exploring the fundamental gas cleaning processes, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding the initial stages of these operations.

The book explores thermal and catalytic processes in refining, highlighting the distinctions between these methods. It delves into the various types of feedstock suitable for each process, providing a comprehensive understanding of the refining landscape.

This 3rd volume of 'Gas Engineering' explores liquefied natural gas and gas-to-liquids concepts, reviewing gas stream uses and their environmental impacts. It details properties of gas streams related to corrosion effects, including carburization and metal dusting, as well as corrosion in steel and other materials used in refinery technology. The text summarizes key findings on corrosion processes in gas-processing equipment and offshore structures. Each chapter includes references from open literature and meeting proceedings, providing insight into the current state of gas processing technology and highlighting emerging technologies. A comprehensive glossary is also included. Written in an accessible style, this volume serves as a one-stop guide to the engineering aspects of natural gas properties and processing, addressing their effects on ecosystems and pollutant mitigation. The book offers an overview with considerable detail on various natural gas technology aspects, using elementary chemistry only to clarify specific points.

Volume 2 covers the constituents of gas streams and their properties. The author presents the chemistry and engineering aspects of the methods and principles by which the gas streams might be cleaned from their noxious constituents. The concept of gas condensate is also discussed as well as the methods which can be applied to the analysis of streams and condensate. Vol. 1: Origin and Reservoir Engineering. Vol. 3: Uses of Gas and Effects.
