Fundamentals of Petroleum Refining presents the fundamentals of
thermodynamics and kinetics, and it explains the scientific
background essential for understanding refinery operations. The
text also provides a detailed introduction to refinery engineering
topics, ranging from the basic principles and unit operations to
overall refinery economics. The book covers important topics, such
as clean fuels, gasification, biofuels, and environmental impact of
refining, which are not commonly discussed in most refinery
textbooks. Throughout the source, problem sets and examples are
given to help the reader practice and apply the fundamental
principles of refining. Chapters 1-10 can be used as core materials
for teaching undergraduate courses. The first two chapters present
an introduction to the petroleum refining industry and then focus
on feedstocks and products. Thermophysical properties of crude oils
and petroleum fractions, including processes of atmospheric and
vacuum distillations, are discussed in Chapters 3 and 4. Conversion
processes, product blending, and alkylation are covered in chapters
5-10. The remaining chapters discuss hydrogen production, clean
fuel production, refining economics and safety, acid gas treatment
and removal, and methods for environmental and effluent treatments.
This source can serve both professionals and students (on
undergraduate and graduate levels) of Chemical and Petroleum
Engineering, Chemistry, and Chemical Technology. Beginners in the
engineering field, specifically in the oil and gas industry, may
also find this book invaluable.
