About the Book

This book discusses everything you need to know about Natural Gas, including extraction, refining, transportation, and safety. The information in this book will answer all questions you have regarding natural gas including: -Where can natural gas be found? -How do we extract and refine natural gas? -What are the environmental effects of fracking? -How can we minimize flammability and explosions? -How does the pipeline system work? -How do we maintain the pipeline system? This book will also discuss the uses of other types of hydrocarbon fuels including diesel, biodiesel, and biomass. Table of Contents: 8.1 Overview of Hydrocarbon Fuels; 8.2 Overview of Natural Gas; 8.3 Finding and Extracting Raw Natural Gas;8. 4 Fracking Operations; 8.5 Refining Natural Gas; 8.6 Transporting and Storing Natural Gas; 8.7 Other Hydrocarbon Energy Technologies; Appendix; Index. Chapter Topics: Chapter one provides an overview of hydrocarbon fuels. In this chapter you will learn about how hydrocarbon fuels are formed and the different types of hydrocarbons which can be used as fuel. Chapter two provides an overview of Natural Gas. In this chapter you will learn about the chemicals associated with natural gas and the energy from natural gas. You will learn the advantages and disadvantages of natural gas. Significant time is devoted to the hazards of natural gas, particularly fire and explosions. Chapter three discusses how we can find and extract natural gas. Natural gas can be found in a variety of locations, and each location requires special considerations for extraction. The options will be discussed here. Chapter four discusses fracking. Fracking is a general term for using chemicals and high pressure slurry to break apart rocks which trap pockets of natural gas. Fracking is commonly used by industry, yet can cause severe harm to the environment, and many citizens are concerned. Therefore, we discuss fracking in great detail, including the process, the environmental impact, and possible options. Chapter five discusses the refining operation for natural gas. Raw natural gas contains numerous other chemicals, and must be significantly refined before the gas can be used. This chapter explains all of the major processes for refining natural gas. Chapter six discusses the transportation and storage of natural gas. Mostly, this means the pipeline system spread throughout the nation. Therefore this chapter discusses the three main pipeline systems: the Gathering System, the Transmission System, and the Distribution System. After a general overview of the pipeline systems, we then discuss pipeline construction, pipeline corrosion, pipeline inspection, and compressors. In chapter six we also discuss an alternate method of transporting natural gas: compressing gas into liquefied natural gas which can be shipped on trucks and ocean vessels. Chapter seven takes us in a new direction, discussing a variety of other hydrocarbon fuels and processes used for the creation of electrical power. Topics include: diesel, biodiesel, biomass, and cogeneration. This chapter concludes our discussions. In the Appendix you will find brief explanations of terms and abbreviations commonly used by the Natural Gas Industry. The book is completed with an index which will help the reader find any topic easily.
