Dr. Maurice Stewart, PE, a Registered Professional Engineer with over 40 years international consulting experience in project management; designing, selecting, specifying, installing, operating, optimizing, retrofitting and troubleshooting oil, water and gas handling, conditioning and processing facilities; designing plant piping and pipeline systems, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, process equipment, and pumping and compression systems; and leading hazards analysis reviews and risk assessments. Ken Arnold was President of K. Arnold Consulting, Inc., providing expert consulting services to the oil and gas industry covering surface engineering, project management, and project development. Ken retired from the industry in 2022. Previously, he was Senior Technical Advisor for Worley Parsons and CEO of Paragon Engineering Services, now owned by Wood Group. Ken earned a BSCE in civil engineering from Cornell University and a MS in civil engineering from Tulane University.

"Published in a handy small format (4.5x7.5 inches), but not so small it inhibits readability, this guide contains the essential information necessary for produced water treatment using the format of an outline, with subjects followed by short definitions which in turn are followed by lists of key points and in some cases, a list of sample figures. Appendices contain definition of terms, descriptions of water sampling, and oil concentration analysis techniques. Many schematics, drawings, and tables are included. The book is derived from the authors' two-volume Surface production operations. Thoughtfully produced and authoritative, this volume will be essential to engineers and process designers in the field."--Reference and Research Book News
