Petroleum Refining: Technology and Economics 5th Edition by James H. Gary, Glenn E. Handwerk and Mark J. Kaiser offers 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.
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, it 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.
Continuing the high standards set by earlier editions, author summarizes recent developments in oil refining processes, addressing topics ranging from basic applications to the implementation of viable operations that meet environmental and economic requirements. The authors maintain the clear, systematic style that made previous editions so popular.
This text covers the process operations of integrated refineries and the methods to meet air and water quality standards. It discusses the purpose of feedstocks, catalysts, operating conditions, and products of the main refinery processes. This edition reviews petroleum-refining technology and refining processes, incorporates recent statistics on utility data, investment, and operating costs, and considers environmental factors, the place of reformulated fuels in product distribution, and uses for heavier crude oils and those with higher sulfur and metal.
