Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquefied hydrocarbon gases, containing mostly the mixture of C3-C4 hydrocarbons, in many countries serve as an important source of energy, also for internal combustion engines. On a world scale, at present, about 270 million tonnes of this fuel is produced, of which motorization consumes 26 million tonnes (~10%). Poland is one of these countries, where LPG is a popular engine fuel. Annual consumption of so called autogas is about 1.7 million tonnes with increasing tendency. Almost 3 millions of cars with bifuel engines, mostly spark ignition ones, are driven on Polish roads. An extensive logistical infrastructure accompanies the development of the use of this type of fuel in Poland. There are numerous production companies in Poland working to meet the needs of this branch of industry, as well as a modern service base. Intensive research and development works in this field are carried out. The exceptional advantages of LPG as an alternative engine fuel have been highly appreciated in Poland. These advantages result mainly from the simplicity of its production. Relatively low investment costs and energy consumption are needed to produce high-quality fuel by degasolining of natural gas or crude oil stabilization. LPG is produced as a byproduct in numerous petroleum refining processes and its quality is relatively close to the engine fuel requirements. The source of aliphatic hydrocarbons falling into LPG range can also be the processes of biomass conversion and in the near future, fermentation processes. Environmental advantages of LPG are primarily very low emission of almost all toxic components of engine exhaust gases compared to gasoline or diesel fuel. In this chapter the results of research works aimed at the improvementof exploitation properties, logistics and LPG combustion processes in spark ignitionengines are presented. In this area, anti-corrosion additives for LPG of very high effectiveness were obtained and tested. Also, with the help of additives, the problem of water separating from LPG during storage and transport in tankers has been solved. A multifunctional additive was obtained giving LPG adequate lubricity and detergent properties. The influence of water on the process of LPG combustion in a gasoline fuelled engine as well ways to supply water to the combustion zone are being studied. A mathematical model is being elaborated, precisely describing correlations between density and chemical composition of LPG as well as changes of density as a function of fuel temperature. In the realization of these plans LPG producing companies, research and development teams as well as producers of automobile LPG systems are involved. Successful completion of research works and design works will result in elimination of scarce disadvantages of LPG as an engine fuel, preserving at the same time all its numerous advantages as an alternative fuel for the future - the new era source of energy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As feedstocks to refineries change, there must be an accompanying change in refinery technology. This means a movement from conventional means of refining heavy feedstocks using (typically) coking technologies to more innovative processes that will coax the last drips of liquid fuels from the feedstock. This book presents the evolution of refinery processes during the last century and as well as the means by which refinery processes will evolve during the next three-to-five decades. Chapters contain material relevant to (1) comparisons of current feedstocks with heavy oil and bio-feedstocks; (2) evolution of refineries since the 1950s, (3) properties and refinability of heavy oil and bio-feedstocks, (4) thermal processes vs. hydroprocesses, and (5) evolution of products to match the environmental market. Process innovations that have influenced refinery processing over the past three decades are presented, as well as the relevant patents that have the potential for incorporation into future refineries.• Comparison of current feedstocks with heavy oil and bio-feedstocks. • Evolution of refineries over the past three decades. • Properties and refinability of heavy oil and bio-feedstocks. • Thermal processes vs. Hydroprocesses. • Evolution of products to match the environmental market. Investigates the engineering and plant design challenges presented by heavy oil and bio-feedstocks Explores the legislatory and regulatory climate, including increasingly stringent environmental requirements Examines the trade-offs of thermal processes vs. hydroprocesses

This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The climate case for natural gas indicates that in some markets, it can alleviate local air pollution, yet, the green credentials for gas has been more of rationalization than a driver for demand. Gas triumphed in the US, not because it's cleaner than oil and coal, but because it is cheaper, although its well known ability to help lower carbon emissions has provided a 'post-mortem' justification for more use. Where there is hardly any local gas resource, like the EU, there exists a stronger commitment to decarbonization, but it will be hard to dislodge gas in regions where it is cheap like North America, the former Soviet Union, and the Middle East, whether or not its demand is consistent with a decarbonization pathway. The many markets where gas could deliver environmental benefits include the coal-to-gas switching in Asia, where it is currently too expensive to compete without energy policy support. It will also do well in the petrochemicals industry, and marine shipping, by delivering climate change benefits in a lower-carbon future. There are sectors and countries where gas is likely to either gain market share or defend it, thus contributing to decarbonization, at least in the short to medium term. There are equally markets where gas maintains a strong competitive advantage but might be eventually phased out in the context of a low-carbon pathway. There are also markets where gas can achieve climate gains but is unlikely to thrive due mostly to economic reasons. Finally, there are scenarios where gas is neither helpful in meeting climate goals nor likely to thrive economically. While natural gas may not be a climate saviour, it can help reduce net carbon emissions and it will not 'disappear' any time soon, since its current use and contribution to global blue hydrogen production are still very significant. As the cleanest fossil fuel, Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan show that natural gas will play a critical role in the country's (and perhaps in other countries') net-zero pathway strategy as a transition fuel especially in the power and cooking sectors. This book discusses that ETP, explains the technicalities of raw natural gas processing into compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas liquids (NGL), and elucidates how its abundance, lower carbon emissions, geopolitics and economic credentials combine to makes the case for its energy transition role. Its 15 Chapters include: Natural Gas as a Transition Fuel, Natural Gas Process, Gas Degassing & Compression Plants, Amine Gas Sweetening, Natural Gas Liquids Recovery, Gas Fractionation: Liquefied Natural Gas & Liquefied Petroleum Gas, Sulphur Recovery, Compression Systems & Turbines, Reciprocating Compressors, Centrifugal Compressors, Turbines, Liquefied Natural Gas, Fractionation & Process Serving, Refrigeration & Refrigeration Trainer, and The Case For Natural Gas As A Low Carbon Transition Energy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid Urbanization And Industrialization In India Visibly Spell The Need To Put In Place Effective And Efficient Systems For Disposal Of The Waste Generated - Municipal Solid Waste, Plastic, Waste Water, And So On. As In Other Asian Countries, In India Too, Landfills, Groundwater Pollution, Residues Produced By Agro-Industrial Processes, And Other Similar Problems Pose A Threat. It Is Estimated That Methanogenic Anaerobic Digestion Releases Over 250 Million Tonnes Of Methane Gas Annually All Over The World - Methane Is A Substantial Contributor To Global Warming. These Facts Compel Us To Take A Closer Look At The Need To Recycle Waste Rather Than Simply Find Ways To Dispose Of It. At A Time When The World Is Confronted With The Twin Challenges Of Fossil-Fuel Depletion And Environmental Degradation, The Book Emphasizes How Addressing The Latter Could Contribute To Mitigating The Former By Addressing The Issues Of Generating Energy From Waste, Describing Scientific Methods To Minimize Its Hazardous Impacts, Providing An Assessment Of The Existing Technologies, And Highlighting Various Aspects Of Biofuel Production And Cogeneration.
