Staroxa Technology

This book is written mainly for two groups of readers: engineering students studying petroleum and chemical engineering and graduate engineers whose major interest is gas and petroleum production and processing operations. The book is arranged so that it can be used as both a text and a reference. As a text, the organization of materials permits flexibility in designing courses in this field for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
