This book aims to introduce waste water and cooling water treatments to student and graduate engineers in the oil and chemical industries. It is based on industrial implementation of these treatments and describes operators' experiences in running their own facilities in a number of plants. The following points are developed: an introduction to the vocabulary and chemistry of waste water purification with a discussion of the organic and inorganic pollutants that are inherent to the oil

This title focuses on the comprehension of the properties of water in foods, enriched by the approaches from polymer and materials sciences, and by the advances of analytical techniques. The International Symposium on the Properties of Water (ISOPOW) promotes the exchange of knowledge between scientists involved in the study of food materials and scientists interested in water from a more basic point of view and the dialogue between academic and industrial scientists/technologists. This comprehensive book covers the topics presented at the 10th ISOPOW held in Bangkok, Thailand in 2007, including water dynamics in various systems, the role of water in functional food and nano-structured biomaterials.

The bright, cheery, clean and green logo of petroleum behemoth BP couldn’t be further from the image in the minds of gulf coast Americans who now view the company as a demon polluter that has devastated their lives, their livelihoods and their environment.
Many more around the world are appalled as the ‘impact’ assessed early on by BP boss Tony Hayward as "likely modest" builds and builds into what may well become the worst man-made environmental catastrophe.

The purpose of the second edition of this monograph is to present an up-to-date overview of the thermal-hydraulic technology that underlies the design, operation, and safety assessment of boiling water nuclear reactors (BWRs). Significantly, BWRs represent a large fraction of the world's installed nuclear power capacity. Some important new material on pressure suppression containment technology has been added in order to provide the reader with a more comprehensive understanding of BWR power plants.
