As feedstocks to refineries change, there must be an accompanying
change in refinery technology. This means a movement from
conventional means of refining heavy feedstocks using (typically)
coking technologies to more innovative processes that will coax the
last drips of liquid fuels from the feedstock.
This book presents the evolution of refinery processes during the
last century and as well as the means by which refinery processes
will evolve during the next three-to-five decades. Chapters contain
material relevant to (1) comparisons of current feedstocks with
heavy oil and bio-feedstocks; (2) evolution of refineries since the
1950s, (3) properties and refinability of heavy oil and
bio-feedstocks, (4) thermal processes vs. hydroprocesses, and (5)
evolution of products to match the environmental market.
Process innovations that have influenced refinery processing over
the past three decades are presented, as well as the relevant
patents that have the potential for incorporation into future
refineries.
Comparison of current feedstocks with heavy oil and
bio-feedstocks.
Evolution of refineries over the past three decades.
Properties and refinability of heavy oil and bio-feedstocks.
Thermal processes vs. Hydroprocesses.
Evolution of products to match the environmental market.
* Investigates the engineering and plant design challenges
presented by heavy oil and bio-feedstocks
* Explores the legislatory and regulatory climate, including
increasingly stringent environmental requirements
* Examines the trade-offs of thermal processes vs.
