Parent topic
- Engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. [e]
Subtopics
- Chemical engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products [e]
- Acid gas [r]: Natural gas, petroleum byproduct gas or any other gas mixture containing significant amounts of acidic gases. [e]
- Amine gas treating [r]: A process using aqueous solutions of amines to remove hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from gases [e]
- Claus process [r]: A catalytic chemical process for converting gaseous hydrogen sulphide into elemental sulphur. [e]
- Continuous distillation [r]: An ongoing separation process in which a liquid mixture of two or more miscible components is continuously fed into the process and physically separated into two or more products by preferentially boiling the more volatile (i.e., lower boiling point) components out of the mixture. [e]
- Flare stack [r]: A tall vertical vent pipe used in petroleum refineries, chemical plants and petrochemical plants, oil and gas drilling sites, natural gas processing plants, and landfills for burning off unusable waste gas or flammable gas and liquids released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment [e]
- Expansion turbine [r]: A centrifugal or axial flow turbine through which a high pressure gas is isentropically expanded to produce work. [e]
- Glycol dehydration [r]: A chemical engineering unit process that uses a liquid desiccant, usually a glycol, for the removal of water from natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL). [e]
- Hydrocarbon dew point [r]: The temperature (at a given pressure) at which the hydrocarbon components of any hydrocarbon-rich gas mixture (such as natural gas) will start to condense out of the gaseous phase. [e]
- Natural gas [r]: A gas consisting primarily of methane (CH4) which is found as raw natural gas in underground reservoirs, as gas associated with underground reservoirs of petroleum crude oil, as undersea methane hydrates and as coalbed methane in underground coal mines. [e]
- Natural gas condensate [r]: A low-boiling mixture of hydrocarbon liquids that are present as gaseous components in the raw natural gas produced from many natural gas production fields. [e]
- Petroleum refining processes [r]: The chemical engineering processes used in petroleum refining. [e]
- Refineries [r]: Industrial manufacturing facilities composed of a group of chemical engineering unit processes and unit operations used for the conversion certain raw materials such as petroleum crude oil, mined ores, sugar or salt into finished products of value or for the refining and purification of partially converted raw materials into finished products. [e]
- Sour gas [r]: Natural gas, petroleum refinery byproduct gas, or any other gas containing significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). [e]
- Upstream, midstream and downstream (petroleum industry) [r]: The terms often used to refer to the major sectors of the petroleum industry. [e]
