A timely, hands-on guide to environmental issues and regulatory
standards for the petroleum industry

Environmental analysis and testing methods are an integral part of
any current and future refining activities. Today's petroleum
refining industry must be prepared to meet a growing number of
challenges, both environmental and regulatory.

Environmental Analysis and Technology for the Refining Industry
focuses on the analytical issues inherent in any environmental
monitoring or cleanup program as they apply to today's petroleum
industry, not only during the refining process, but also during
recovery operations, transport, storage, and utilization. Designed
to help today's industry professionals identify test methods for
monitoring and cleanup of petroleum-based pollutants, the book
provides examples of the application of environmental regulations
to petroleum refining and petroleum products, as well as current
and proposed methods for the mitigation of environmental effects
and waste management.

Part I introduces petroleum technology, refining, and products, and
reviews the nomenclature used by refiners, environmental
scientists, and engineers. Part II discusses environmental
technology and analysis, and provides information on environmental
regulation and the impact of refining.

Coverage includes:

* In-depth descriptions of analyses related to gaseous emissions,
liquid effluents, and solid waste

* A checklist of relevant environmental regulations

* Numerous real-world examples of the application of environmental
regulations to petroleum refining and petroleum products

* An analysis of current and proposed methods of environmental
protection and waste management
