Thermal Treatment Challenges in New Energy Systems
Western States are passing regulations to prohibit flaring of shale gas which is extracted along with oil. The solution is to make liquids or LNG and transport through a virtual pipeline (trucks). There are many other new developments in the field of unconventional gas and oil extraction where thermal treatment is required. These are tracked in Oil, Gas, Shale and Refining Markets and Projects. For more information, click on: http://home.mcilvainecompany.com/index.php/markets/28-energy/471-n049.
