Asphalt is a complex but popular civil engineering material. Design engineers must understand these complexities in order to optimize its use. Whether or not it is used to pave a busy highway, waterproof a rooftop or smooth out an airport runway, Asphalt Materials Science and Technology acquaints engineers with the issues and technologies surrounding the proper selection and uses of asphalts. With this book in hand, researchers and engineering will find a valuable guide to the production, use and environmental aspect of asphalt.

  • Covers the Nomenclature and Terminology for Asphalt including: Performance Graded (PG) Binders, Asphalt Cement (AC), Asphalt-Rubber (A-R) Binder, Asphalt Emulsion and Cutback Asphalt
  • Includes Material Selection Considerations, Testing, and applications
  • Biodegradation of Asphalt and environmental aspects of asphalt use

  • SHALE GAS PRODUCTION PROCESSES
    SPEIGHT, JAMES G.
    The extraction of natural gas from shale formations is no simple task and perhaps themost expensive when compared to over unconventional gases. Although, its popularityhas grown over the years, there is much to be done to make their production andprocessing more cost-effective. Brief but comprehensive, Shale Gas Production Processesbegins with an overview of the chemistry, engi...

  • NATURAL GAS: A BASIC HANDBOOK
    SPEIGHT, JAMES G.
    Natural gas represents nearly one-quarter of the world’s energy resources. More than half of American homesrely on it as their main heating fuel. It serves as the raw material necessary in everyday paints, plastics,medicines and explosives. It produces the cleanest of all fossil fuels. It is natural gas—and everybody shouldacquire a basic understanding of it. This valuable easy...

  • ENHANCED RECOVERY METHODS FOR HEAVY OIL AND TAR SANDS
    SPEIGHT, JAMES G.
    Recent oil price fluctuations continue to stress the need for more efficient recovery of heavy oil and tar sandbitumen resources. With conventional production steadily declining, advances in enhanced recovery will berequired so that oil production can be extended and reservoirs last longer. A practical guide on heavy-oil relatedrecovery methods is essential for all involved in ...

  • OIL AND GAS CORROSION PREVENTION: FROM SURFACE FACILITIES TO REFINERIES
    SPEIGHT, JAMES G.
    According to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers), the total annual cost of corrosion in petroleum refining takes up $3.7 billion in the US alone. Corrosion control is always a challenge for the downstream industry, but as the quality of feedstock is declining due to refineries accepting more of the heavy and shale gas and oil resources that are more readily avail...

  • FOULING IN REFINERIES
    SPEIGHT, JAMES G.
    Fouling in Refineries is an important and ongoing problem that directly affects energy efficiency resulting in increased costs, production losses, and even unit shutdown, requiring costly expenditures to clean up equipment and return capacity to positive levels. This text addresses this common challenge for the hydrocarbon processing community within each unit of the refinery....
