"This handbook is a valuable reference that covers all aspects of the natural transmission and processing
industries. It contains much needed design, operation and optimization information, all in a single source and does an
excellent job of highlighting the key considerations for any processing project, as well as providing innovative
solutions in NGL recoveries and treating high nitrogen and carbon dioxide content es in unconventional s. It
is a key addition to any processing professional's library.2 --Jason Kraynek, Vice President of Business
Transformation and Innovations, Fluor, USA
"This well-balanced handbook is the only book of its kind, covering all aspects of natural transmission and
processing in more details. I believe it will serve as a valuable desk reference for practicing engineers and
technologists, and as a text for graduate students in the engineering curriculum." --Dr. J.C. Kuo, Senior Advisor of
Team, Process Engineering, Chevron ETC, USA
2This high quality, comprehensive book gives an accurate picture of where the natural transmission and processing
industry stands today, and describes some relatively new technologies that could become important in the future. I
recommend this book for any professional processing engineer and technologist." --David Messersmith, Bechtel Fellow
and Manager of LNG Technology and Services Group, Bechtel OG&C, USA
"This is the only book that covers all technical and operational aspects of natural transmission and processing as
well as subject areas missed by other similar references. I recommend that if you work in the natural industry, you
have this unique reference available." --Dr. Jaleel V. Valappil, Manager - Advanced Simulation/Process, Bechtel OG&C,
USA
"This is a valuable handbook to both the experienced engineer and the graduate just commencing in natural
engineering. It provides practical advice for design and operation based on sound engineering principles and established
techniques as well as introducing process solutions based on new and emerging technologies." --Adrian Finn, Manager of
Process Technology, Costain Natural Resources, UK
"This book does an excellent job of describing the fundamental handling of natural from the wellhead to the
consumer. I particularly found the segment on natural liquids recovery most informative. I plan to make this very
informative publication available to my employees as an excellent training tool as well." --Randy Johnson, Operations
Manager-LNG, Energy Transfer, USA
"Must have book for anyone in the Processing Industry. The authors did an incredible job at covering the process
dynamics and introducing control theories for optimal operation. Absolutely enjoyed the descriptive nature of the
chapters without compromising technical details." --Cesar A. Felizzola, Process Control Engineer, South Region
Engineering, DCP Midstream, USA
"This comprehensive book provides in-depth coverage of all technical aspects of natural transmission and
processing, beyond those addressed in other books. This is a ‘must addition’ to library of anyone working in the
midstream and downstream sectors of natural utilization to achieve higher career goals. I commend the authors’
continuous effort to make it an excellent source book for all professionals, engineers, and scientists in the natural
industry.2 --Dr. Suresh C. Sharma, ONEOK Chair Professor and Director of Natural Engineering and Management,
University of Oklahoma, USA
"This comprehensive book provides a state-of-the-art of the different aspects of natural transmission and
processing from the fundamental principles to the latest technology developments. It is a unique reference for all
professionals involved in natural industry and an excellent textbook for graduate programs on the subject." --Dr.
Valerio Cozzani, Professor of Engineering and Director of Post-Graduate Program on Oil & Process Design,
University of Bologna, Italy
"This unique handbook, written by internationally renowned -engineering experts, is a major contribution to the
professional and scholarly literature, offering an excellent coverage of key topics in the natural supply chain. It
addresses the principles, practices, advanced technologies, new issues and challenges related to the natural
transmission and processing industry, which have not been addressed in depth in any existing books. I recommend it
highly, as a reference and textbook." --Dr. Brian F. Towler, Professor and Chair of Petroleum Engineering, University of
Queensland, Australia

About the Author
----------------
Saeid Mokhatab is one of the most recognizable names in the natural community through his contributions
to advancing the technologies in the natural processing industry. He has been actively involved in different aspects
of several large-scale processing projects, from conceptual design through startup and operations support. He
has presented on processing technologies worldwide and has published 300 technical papers and two renowned
Elsevier’s handbooks in collaboration with leading experts from the largest international engineering companies and
prominent process licensors. His numerous publications, which are widely read and highly respected, have set the
technical standards in the natural processing industry and are considered by many as major references to be used for
any processing/LNG project in development. He founded the world’s first peer-reviewed journal devoted to natural
science and engineering (published by Elsevier, the United States) and has held editorial positions for many scientific
journals/book publishing companies in the hydrocarbon processing industry. He has also served as a member of technical
committees for several professional societies and accled processing conferences worldwide. As a result of his
outstanding work in the natural industry, he has received a number of international awards and medals, and his
biography has been listed in highly prestigious directories.
William A. “Bill Poe is a Senior Principal Technical Consultant at AVEVA, the United States. He has over 35 years of
international business and industrial experience in design, operations and project management of processing s
with a special focus on automation, multivariable predictive control (MPC), advanced process control (APC), optimization
design and implementation, and real-time performance monitoring. Bill started his career at Shell Oil Company, USA, in
1981, working over a decade in natural processing s operations and engineering as well as management of
multimillion-dollar projects. In 1993, he joined Continental Controls to lead the process engineering department in
support of executing contracts with the Research Institute, USA, where he developed new multivariable control
applications in the natural industry. After joining GE as part of the Continental Controls acquisition, he became
vice president of this division of GE where his responsibilities included direction of product development, projects,
technical sales support, and customer service for multivariable control and optimization applications in the natural
industry. In 2001, Bill joined Invensys Process Systems, USA, where he has developed APC and Optimization Master Plans
for international companies such as Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, Statoil, and PDVSA, as well as automation and advanced process
control feasibility studies for over 100 natural processing s worldwide. After Schneider Electric acquired
Invensys Process Systems in 2014 and merged its software division with AVEVA in 2018, he has continued to work with the
top processing companies. Bill is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Natural Science & Engineering, has
authored or co-authored more than 60 technical papers, and made numerous technical presentations at prestigious
international conferences. He received the GE Innovators Award in 1999 and attained the Invensys Circle of Excellence in
2011.
