Over the last several decades, the petroleum industry has
experienced significant changes in resource availability,
petro-politics, and technological advancements dictated by the
changing quality of refinery feedstocks. However, the dependence on
fossil fuels as the primary energy source has remained unchanged.
Refinery Feedstocks addresses the problems of changing feedstock
availability and properties; the refining process; and solids
deposition during refining. This book will take the reader through
the various steps that are necessary for crude oil evaluation and
refining including the potential for the use of coal liquids, shale
oil, and non-fossil fuel materials (biomass) as refinery
feedstocks. Other features: Describes the various types of crude
oil and includes a discussion of extra heavy oil and tar sand
bitumen Includes basic properties and specifications of crude oil
and the significance in refinery operations This book is a handy
reference for engineers, scientists, and students who want an
update on crude oil refining and on the direction the industry must
take to assure the refinability of various feedstocks and the
efficiency of the refining processes in the next fifty years.
Non-technical readers, with help from the extensive glossary, will
also benefit from reading this book.
