Industrial Gases
in Petrochemical Processing

by Harold H. Gunardson

This unique resource—the only book of its kind available in the field—offers detailed coverage of the petrochemical applications of large-volume industrial gases!

It examines the factors that influence the cost of producing and delivering gases and the economic reasons for choosing specific manufacturing methods. Emphasizing the commercial areas that employ industrial gases as feedstocks, Industrial Gases in Petrochemical Processing:

• Demonstrates the targeted applications of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and synthesis gases
• Discusses gas storage and transport
• Covers separation technology
• Explains cryogenic and noncryogenic processes
• Delineates pressure swing adsorption production methods
• Addresses membrane permeation purification techniques
• And mcuh more!

Written by an international expert, Industrial Gases in Petrochemical Processing is a practical, hands-on reference for chemical, petrochemical, petroleum, synthetic fuel, fuel, design, process, and industrial engineers; chemists and geochemists; chemical industry development managers; and graduate-level students in these disciplines.
