Aqueous Wastes from Petroleum and Petrochemical Plants is a book about the composition and treatment of the various wastewater streams produced in the hydrocarbon processing industries (i.e., petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants and natural gas processing plants). When published in 1967, it was the first book devoted to that subject.
The book is notable for containing the first publication of a method for the rigorous tray-by-tray design of steam distillation columns for removing gaseous hydrogen sulphide from petroleum refinery wastewaters. Such columns are commonly referred to as sour water strippers. The design method was also presented at a World Petroleum Congress Meeting shortly after the book was published.[1]
The subjects covered in the book include wastewater pollutants and the pertinent governmental regulations, petroleum refinery and petrochemical plant wastewater effluents, treatment methods, miscellaneous effluents, data on the cost of various wastewater treatment methods (now outdated), and an extensive reference list.
One of the book reviews is that of Dr. Nelson V. Nemerow, a Civil Engineering professor at the University of Syracuse in New York state, published in 1968 in the American Chemical Society's journal Environmental Science and Technology.
Availability in libraries
