Dalla quarta di copertina

Provides a holistic approach that looks at changing process conditions, possible process design changes, and process technology upgrades

Hydroprocessing is a major work horse in oil refining in making clean diesel fuel for transportation. While many companies have looked at various improvements, relatively few have taken a holistic approach that looks at changing process conditions, possible process design changes, and upgrading process technology required to achieve it.

Hydroprocessing for Clean Energy: Design, Operation and Optimization explains recent advances in the field of hydroprocessing. It provides proven methods and tools used in industrial applications and discusses in detail all of the important aspects of hydroprocssing including catalytic materials, reaction mechanism, process design, operation and control, troubleshooting and optimization. The book focuses on application of these methods on specific process units such as hydrotreating and hydrocracking units, which are the center of attentions in the petroleum industry in current time due to the market drive for clean diesel.

Hydroprocessing for Clean Energy: Design, Operation and Optimization features:

• Fundamentals of hydroprocessing
• Process Simulation and Optimization Techniques
• Operational Assessments
• Process Design and Integration Methods
• Troubleshooting Case Studies
• Techno-Economic Evaluations

Managers, engineers and operators working in refining companies and engineering firms as well as university students who want to equip themselves with practical methods in Hydroprocessing will find this book a valuable resource in improving industrial energy efficiency, reducing capital investment and optimizing yields via better design, operation and optimization.
