The industry is not static. Access to an exclusive handbook means staying ahead of the curve on several major trends. Here’s a snapshot of the innovations shaping the field:
For decades, the Hydrocarbon Processing editorial team has gathered technical data directly from the world’s leading engineering firms, technology licensors, and environmental pioneers. The resulting handbook is not merely a textbook; it is a live catalog of commercialized, field-proven industrial processes.
High-pressure multi-stage compressors inject the dense-phase acid gas stream into deep saline aquifers or depleted reservoirs.
Who should buy it
Seamless operational switching to "ethane rejection" mode. When ethane prices drop relative to natural gas heating value, the plant rejects ethane into the residue gas stream without violating pipeline hydrocarbon dew point specifications. Advanced Dehydration Systems
Lean TEG flows down an absorber column, counter-currently contacting wet gas to absorb moisture. Rich TEG is routed to a distillation column (reboiler) heated to roughly 400°F (204°C) to vaporize water and recover lean glycol.
removal. New, high-selectivity polymeric and inorganic membranes offer a smaller footprint alternative to amine units for gas sweetening, particularly for offshore and smaller-scale applications. 2. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Integration
