This book describes key aspects of the catalytic naphtha reforming process and provides practical information about operating catalytic reformers. It discusses fundamentals of the process and describes the three major technologies in use. Similarities and differences of the three technologies are highlighted and contrasted as are best practices for commercial applications of catalytic reformers to ensure to reliable and profitable operations. The book covers such topics as chloride management, precious metals management, and management of naphtha processing to meet MSAT 2 for gasoline...

They condition our sensory lives, our erotic experiences, and our aesthetics; they structure what we assume to be normal and healthy; and they prop up a distinctly modern bargain with nature that allows populations and economies to grow wildly beyond the older and more clearly understood limits of the organic economy.

Carbon Nation ranges across film and literary studies, ecology, politics, journalism, and art history to chart the course by which prehistoric carbon calories entered into the American...

Due to a lack of structured training in academic and technical institutions, engineers and pipe designers today may understand various computer software programs but lack the fundamental understanding and implementation of how to lay out process plants and run piping correctly in the oil and gas industry. The Engineer's Guide to Plant Layout and Piping Design for the Oil and Gas Industries fills this training void with a complete and practical understanding of the requirements and procedures for producing a safe, economical, operable, and maintainable process facility. Easy to...
