Process Integration for Resource Conservation Dominic C. Y. Foo University of Nottingham, Malaysia Series: Green Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
This book presents state-of-the-art process integration techniques for various resource conservation activities, ranging from water minimization to utility gas and solid waste recovery. Both process integration tools—insight-based pinch analysis approaches and mathematical optimization techniques—are covered. The insight-based pinch analysis approaches include the wellestablished graphical and algebraic techniques for setting minimum resource targets ahead of the detailed network design. For mathematical optimization, the book includes both superstructural and automated targeting approaches. It also contains case studies of particular concepts and select problems with answers. Lecture materials and a solutions manual are provided for qualifying university instructors. Features: • Includes state-of-the-art process integration techniques • Offers step-by-step guidance in all examples • Presents software prototype • Provides answers to select problems • Covers industrial case studies

Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies, Policies, Economics, and Implementation Strategies Saud M. Al-Fattah, Murad F. Barghouty, and Bashir O. Dabbousi King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
The first book written on carbon capture and storage (CCS) by a major oil-and-gas-producing country, this text provides a thorough overview of the current status of the various elements of the CCS chain and its technology, and how it could become a solution to reduce emissions. It also suggests some key guidelines to be adopted to deploy CCS in a sustainable manner. This book will be useful to a broad group of readers—specifically engineers, geoscientists, economists, and regulators. It will also be useful to high-level strategists and policy makers in energy-producing countries. Features: • Covers a wide spectrum of CCS issues • Discusses topics that have not generally been addressed elsewhere, such as water production associated with CCS • Details the significant progress and most up-to-date data on global CCS technologies, programs, and applications • Explores technological and other issues associated with future large-scale commercial deployment of CCS from regulatory, economic, financing, and social aspects Contents (abridged): Part I: Why CCS? CCS in an global context CCS deployment status, regional applicability, and stakeholders Part II: Technical description and operability of the CCS chain CO Capture and separation CO Transport systems CO Geological storage Part III: Deployment drivers CCS regulatory framework Economics of the CCS chain CCS quality standards – challenges to commercialization Conclusion: A pragmatic way forward Catalog no. K14340, November 2011, 404 pp. ISBN: 978-0-415-62084-0, $159.95 / £99.00 Also available as eBook
