Elsevier Crises in Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Industries: Loss Prevention and Disaster Management

Crises in Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Industries: Loss Prevention and Disaster Management provides an overview of both natural and manmade disasters occurring in oil, gas and petrochemical industries and prepares special solutions based on their types.Volume 2 on loss prevention and disaster management deals with the disasters in oil, gas and petrochemical industries from different points of view. It starts with reviewing methods for making the apparatus safer and continues with discussing the process of facing and managing the disasters during the occurrence. At the end, loss and economic analysis after disasters and methods of reversibility are presented, followed by introducing various related case studies from around the world. Review Volume 2 of two-volume set providing methods for making safer apparatus and investigating strategies for loss analysis and reduction in petrochemical industries to prevent damages About the Author Prof. Mohammad Reza Rahimpour is a professor in Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University joint with University of Sydney, Australia 1988. He started his independent career as Assistant Professor in September 1998 at Shiraz University. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour, was a Research Associate at University of California, Davis from 2012 till 2017. During his stay in University of California, he developed different reaction networks and catalytic processes such as thermal and plasma reactors for upgrading of lignin bio-oil to biofuel with collaboration of UCDAVIS. He has been a Chair of Department of Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University from 2005 till 2009 and from 2015 till 2020. Prof. M.R. Rahimpour leads a research group in fuel processing technology focused on the catalytic conversion of fossil fuels such as natural gas, and renewable fuels such as bio-oils derived from lignin to valuable energy sources. He provides young distinguished scholars with perfect educational opportunities in both experimental methods and theoretical tools in developing countries to investigate in-depth research in the various field of chemical engineering including carbon capture, chemical looping, membrane separation, storage and utilization technologies, novel technologies for natural gas conversion and improving the energy efficiency in the production and use of natural gas industries.Babak Omidvar is an associate?professor at University of Tehran.
