Thermal and Catalytic Cracking of Hydrocarbons for the Production of Light Olefins reviews thermal and catalytic cracking processes of hydrocarbons for the production of light olefins. The book completely reviews and discusses all aspects of the process, including the olefin market, process description, kinetics of reactions, mathematical modeling and simulation of different parts of the process, along with optimal design and operation, and process control of olefin production plants. Further it presents some of the commercial software packages in the market for the simulation and optimization of the process.

This is an indispensable resource for researchers in R&D and operators of olefin plants who have to address challenges in simulation, modelling, and optimization of olefin plants.

Sadrameli, Seyed Mojtaba
Dr. Sadrameli was a senior Professor of Chemical Engineering at TMU, Tehran, Iran. He received B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Sharif University, Tehran in 1980, M.Sc. and Ph.D. from Leeds University, UK in 1984 and 1988. His research interests focus on industrial heat recovery systems, thermal energy storage systems using PCMs, and thermo-chemical conversion of biomass and polymer wastes to biofuels and valuable chemicals. His current projects involve encapsulation of PCM materials for thermal energy storage applications and production of biofuels from thermal and catalytic cracking of triglycerides and pyrolysis of biomass wastes and non-edible oil seeds.
