The global chemical and petroleum industries have always had thechallenge of disposing of chemical wastes, by-products, andresiduals, but with traditional techniques such as deep wellinjection and incineration proving flawed, the need for disposal bylegal, safe and economically effective means has never beengreater. Increasingly, the need to produce without pollution is thepreferred model for industry, and the strategy of wasteminimization is seen as the best way forward. This is particularlyrelevant in the petrochemical and chemical industries, where largequantities of hazardous and toxic wastes are produced which canpose formidable disposal problems.
Covering the essentials of treatment, recovery and disposal ofwaste, as well as the requirements for process design andengineering of equipment and facilities in the chemical andpetroleum industries, this book includes chapters on:
* Wastewater Treatment
* Physical Unit Operations
* Chemical Treatment
* Biological Treatment
* Wastewater Treatment in Unconventional Oil and Gas Industries
* Wastewater Sewer Systems
* Sewage Treatment
* Solid Waste Treatment and Disposal
Primarily aimed at researchers and advanced students in chemical, petroleum, and environmental fields as well as those in civilengineering, this book should also provide a unique reference forindustry practitioners and anyone interested in chemical andpetroleum waste treatment and disposal.
