Acid Gas Injection and Carbon Dioxide Sequestration

Provides a complete treatment on two of the hottest topics in the energy sector acid gas injection and carbon dioxide sequestration This book provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of two techniques that are rapidly increasing in importance and usage in the natural gas and petroleum industry acid gas injection and carbon dioxide sequestration. The author, a well-known and respected authority on both processes, presents the theory of the technology, then discusses practical applications the engineer working in the field can implement. Both hot-button issues in the industry, these processes will help companies in the energy industry "go green," by creating a safer, cleaner environment. These techniques also create a more efficient and profitable process in the plant, cutting waste and making operations more streamlined. This outstanding new reference includes: * Uses of acid gas injection, the method of choice for disposing of small quantities of acid gas * Coverage of technologies for working towards a zero-emission process in natural gas production * A practical discussion of carbon dioxide sequestration, an emerging new topic, often described as one of the possible solutions for reversing global warming * Problems and solutions for students at the graduate level and industry course participants
