This title in other formats:Petroleum Refining Technology and Economics, Fifth Editionby James H. Gary
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Petroleum refiners must face billion-dollar investments in equipment in order to meet ever-changing environmental requirements. Because the design and construction of new processing units entail several years' lead time, refiners are reluctant to commit these dollars for equipment that may no longer meet certain conditions when the units come on stream. Written by experts with both academic and professional experience in refinery operation, design, and evaluation, Petroleum Refining Technology and Economics, Fifth Edition is an essential textbook for students and a vital resource for engineers. This latest edition of a bestselling text provides updated data and addresses changes in refinery feedstock, product distribution, and processing requirements resulting from federal and state legislation. Providing a detailed overview of today's integrated fuels refinery, the book discusses each major refining process as they relate to topics such as feedstock preparation, operating costs, catalysts, yields, finished product properties, and economics. It also contains end-of-chapter problems and an ongoing case study. Book News Annotation:Gary (petroleum refining, emeritus, Colorado School of Mines)
presents basic aspects of current petroleum refining technology and
economics for ready reference by technical managers, practicing
engineers, university faculty members, and graduate or senior
students in chemical engineering. He describes physical and chemical
properties of petroleum and petroleum products, along with major
refining processes. Data for determination of typical product yields,
investment, and operating costs for all major refining processes and
for supporting processes are given. Case studies and problems are
included, and appendices contain basic engineering data and a
glossary. This fifth edition takes new environmental aspects of the
industry into account, and reflects the use of heavier crude oils and
crude oils with higher sulfur and metal content.
