This book:
- Covers a new application field for biotechnology
- Looks at innovative processes for the petroleum industry
- Presents examples of modern environmental processes
This book is one of a kind in the field of petroleum biorefining and biological upgrade of petroleum; it presents a
critical review as well as an integrated overview of the potential biochemical processes, bridging the gap between
academia and industry. It addresses today€s demanding production challenges, taking into account energy efficient
and environmentally friendly processes, and also looks at the future possibility of implementing new refinery systems.
Suitable for those practitioners the petroleum industry, students and researchers interested in petroleum biotechnology.
Readership: Scientists, researchers and students interested in petroleum biotechnology, and chemical engineers
working in the petroleum and energy industry
