It responds to a number of process variables—among them, humanity and the environmental effects of our carbon consumption. What can professionals in the Hydrocarbon Process Industry do to retard environmental degradation? Rather than looking to exotic technology for solutions, Process Engineering for a Small Planet details ready-at-hand methods that the process engineer can employ to help combat the environmental crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing from the author's professional experience working with petroleum refineries petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, and natural gas wells, this handbook explains how to operate and retrofit process facilities to:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eReuse existing process equipment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSave energy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReduce greenhouse gas emissions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpand plant capacity without installing new equipment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReduce corrosion and equipment failures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eCovering topics from expanding fractionator and compressor capacity and vacuum tower heater expansion to minimizing process water consumption and increasing centrifugal pump capacity, \u003ci\u003eProcess Engineering for a Small Planet\u003c\/i\u003e offers big ideas for saving our small planet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119965913328,"sku":"9781118060254","price":97.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118060254_p0.jpg?v=1769887696","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118060254","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
