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]
- Amine gas treating [r]: A process using aqueous solutions of amines to remove hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from gases [e]
- Catalytic reforming [r]: A catalytic chemical process that converts petroleum naphthas into high-octane gasoline components. [e]
- Claus process [r]: A catalytic chemical process for converting gaseous hydrogen sulphide into elemental sulphur. [e]
- Delayed coking [r]: A petroleum refining process that converts heavy residual oils into petroleum coke and other byproducts. [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]
- Hydrodesulfurization [r]: A catalytic chemical process used in petroleum refining to remove sulphur compounds from intermediate and refined end-products. [e]
- Natural gas processing [r]: Industrial facilities that process raw natural gas to remove contaminants as well as to separate out and recover by product natural gas liquids. [e]
- Merox [r]: A process for removing the mercaptans from certain petroleum refinery products by oxidizing them to liquid hydrocarbon disulphides. [e]
- Petroleum naphtha [r]: An intermediate hydrocarbon liquid stream derived from the refining of petroleum crude oil and which may be further processed to obtain a gasoline blending component. [e]
- Vacuum distillation [r]: The laboratory or industrial-scale distillation of liquids performed at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. [e]
- Sour gas [r]: Natural gas, petroleum refinery byproduct gas, or any other gas containing significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). [e]
- Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook [r]: The eighth edition of a chemical engineering reference book that has been a classic for more than seventy years. [e]
