Infos

Thermal and Catalytic Cracking of Hydrocarbons for the Production of Light Olefins reviews thermal and catalytic cracking processes of hydrocarbons for the production of light olefins. The book completely reviews and discusses all aspects of the process, including the olefin market, process description, kinetics of reactions, mathematical modeling and simulation of different parts of the process, along with optimal design and operation, and process control of olefin production plants. Further it presents some of the commercial software packages in the market for the simulation and optimization of the process.

This is an indispensable resource for researchers in R&D and operators of olefin plants who have to address challenges in simulation, modelling, and optimization of olefin plants.

Autor

Dr. Sadrameli was a senior Professor of Chemical Engineering at TMU, Tehran, Iran. He received B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Sharif University, Tehran in 1980, M.Sc. and Ph.D. from Leeds University, UK in 1984 and 1988. His research interests focus on industrial heat recovery systems, thermal energy storage systems using PCMs, and thermo-chemical conversion of biomass and polymer wastes to biofuels and valuable chemicals. His current projects involve encapsulation of PCM materials for thermal energy storage applications and production of biofuels from thermal and catalytic cracking of triglycerides and pyrolysis of biomass wastes and non-edible oil seeds. Mohammad received B.Sc. in 2010 and M.Sc. in 2012 from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, and Ph.D. in 2017 from the University of Tehran, Iran, all in Chemical Engineering. He was a Visiting Ph.D. Student at DISIM, University of L’Aquila, Italy from October 2016 to February 2017, and a Visiting Professor at the same university in Spring 2018. He is an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran, since Fall 2018. His research interests include optimization and control of process systems, nonlinear dynamics, Hybrid systems, and value chain management in oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.
