Exponential growth of the worldwide population requires increasing
amounts of water, food, and energy. However, as the quantity of
available fresh water and energy sources directly affecting cost of
food production and transportation diminishes, technological
solutions are necessary to secure sustainable supplies. In direct
response to this reality, this book focuses on the
water-energy-food nexus and describes in depth the challenges and
processes involved in efficient water and energy production and
management, wastewater treatment, and impact upon food and
essential commodities. The book is organized into 4 sections on
water, food, energy, and the future of sustainability, highlighting
the interplay among these topics. The first section emphasizes
water desalination, water management, and wastewater treatment. The
second section discusses cereal processing, sustainable food
security, bioenergy in food production, water and energy
consumption in food processing, and mathematical modeling for food
undergoing phase changes. The third section discusses fossil fuels,
biofuels, synthetic fuels, renewable energy, and carbon capture.
Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of the future of
sustainability, including coverage of the role of molecular
thermodynamics in developing processes and products, green
engineering in process systems, petrochemical water splitting,
petrochemical approaches to solar hydrogen generation, design and
operation strategy of energy-efficient processes, and the
sustainability of process, supply chain, and enterprise.
A comprehensive review of the current status and challenges for
natural gas and shale gas production, treatment and monetization
technologies Natural Gas Processing from Midstream to Downstream
presents an international perspective on the production and
monetization of shale gas and natural gas. The authors review
techno-economic assessments of the midstream and downstream natural
gas processing technologies. Comprehensive in scope, the text
offers insight into the current status and the challenges facing
the advancement of the midstream natural gas treatments. Treatments
covered include gas sweeting processes, sulfur recovery units, gas
dehydration and natural gas pipeline transportation. The authors
highlight the downstream processes including physical treatment and
chemical conversion of both direct and indirect conversion. The
book also contains an important overview of natural gas
monetization processes and the potential for shale gas to play a
role in the future of the energy market, specifically for the
production of ultra-clean fuels and value-added chemicals. This
vital resource: Provides fundamental chemical engineering aspects
of natural gas technologies Covers topics related to upstream,
midstream and downstream natural gas treatment and processing
Contains well-integrated coverage of several technologies and
processes for treatment and production of natural gas Highlights
the economic factors and risks facing the monetization technologies
Discusses supply chain, environmental and safety issues associated
with the emerging shale gas industry Identifies future trends in
educational and research opportunities, directions and emerging
opportunities in natural gas monetization Includes contributions
from leading researchers in academia and industry Written for
Industrial scientists, academic researchers and government agencies
working on developing and sustaining state-of-the-art technologies
in gas and fuels production and processing, Natural Gas Processing
from Midstream to Downstream provides a broad overview of the
current status and challenges for natural gas production, treatment
and monetization technologies.
