Petroleum refining 2 separation processes-technip

This five-volume series covers the entire range of technologies used in the petroleum refining industry. The books are intended for students and for the engineers and technicians who operate in refineriesIn addition to the detailed description of the conventional separation processes used in refining, this volume devotes ample space to discussing future developments. These include enhancements to existing technologies and the introduction of new technologies and separation processes that are as yet seldom implemented in the industry.Contents: 1. Basics of separation operations. 2. Thermodynamics: phase equilibria. 3. Mass transfer and efficiency of separation operations. 4. Distillation, absorption and stripping. 5.
