The book is unique in that it presents licensable technologies for the refining of petroleum and production of environmentally acceptable fuels and petrochemical intermediates. The new edition covers the gamut of global refining technologies in light of recent changes to the sources of these fuels, as well as the most up-to-date global environmental regulations. Contributions come from such major licensors of petroleum refining technology as UOP, Inc. The new edition shifts its emphasis to accommodate the increased production of shale gas and shale oil which is changing the overall mix of hydrocarbon feeds.
Declining conventional crude production and the need for regional energy independence continues to drive demand to use lower-cost, alternate feedstocks such as coal, shale oil, and heavy crude. To use alternate feedstocks in existing refineries, many processes need to be modified.
The increase in diesel demand and stricter fuel specifications is driving refiners to look for ways to produce higher yields from existing assets. Useful as a textbook, this is also an excellent, handy go-to reference for the veteran engineer, a volume no chemical or process engineering library should be without. Written by one of the world's foremost authorities, this book sets the standard for the industry and is an integral part of the petroleum refining renaissance.
It is truly a must-have for any practicing engineer or student in this area. Author : James H. Author : Heinz P. Author : Rashid M. Author : Taras Y. Author : John J. Dave; Review: Design process of nanomaterials; ; J. Of Material Science; , 48, Author : William L. Annotation c.
