Fundamentals of Natural Gas processinng

The natural gas industry began in the early 1900s in the United States and is still evolving. This high-quality fuel and chemical feedstock plays an important role in the industrial world and is becoming an important export for other countries. Several high-quality books* provide guidance to those experienced in natural gas processing. This book introduces the natural gas industry to a reader entering the field. It also helps those providing a service to the industry in a narrow application to better understand how their products and services fit into the overall process.
To help the reader understand the need of each processing step, the book follows the gas stream from the wellhead to the market place. The book focuses primarily on the gas plant processes. Wherever possible, the advantages, limitations, and ranges of applicability of the processes are discussed so that their selection and integration into the overall gas plant can be fully understood and appreciated.
The book compiles information from other books, open literature, and meeting proceedings** to hopefully give an accurate picture of where the gas processing technology stands today, as well as indicate some relatively new technologies that could become important in the future. An invaluable contribution to the book is the insight provided to the authors by experts in certain applications.
