Hydrocarbons:
What are Hydrocarbons:
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Most hydrocarbons found on earth naturally occur in crude oil, where decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons are a primary energy source for current civilizations. Extracted hydrocarbons in liquid form are called petroleum, and extracted hydrocarbons in gas form are called natural gas. There are three types of hydrocar...

Alcohol
What is Alcohol:
An alcohol is any organic molecule in which the hydroxyl functional group (OH) is bound to a carbon. An important class of alcohols, of which methanol and ethanol are the simplest members, includes all compounds with the general formula C n H 2n+1 OH. Simple alcohols are found widely in nature. Ethanol is most prominent because it is the product of fermentation, a major energy-producing pathway. Some are only formed in tr...

Acid Gas:
What is Acid Gas:
Acid gas is a type of natural gas or any other gas mixture that contains significant quantities of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen halides, or similar acidic gases. Acid gases form acidic solutions when dissolved in water. Before a raw natural gas containing hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide can be used, the gas must be treated to reduce impurities to acceptable levels. This is commonly done with amine gas t...

Non-Methane Hydrocarbons:
What are NMHCs:
Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds (NMVOCs) are a large variety of chemically different compounds such as benzene, ethanol, formaldehyde, cyclohexane, and acetone. NMVOCs are essentially identical to VOCs , with the exlusion of methane. An important subset of NMVOCs are NMHCs. NMHCs are trace atmospheric components that provide a sink for hydroxyl radicals and control ozone concentration. Exmples of NMHCs are ethane, ethene, propane, pro...
