Petroleum Refining: Technology and Economics 5th Edition by James H. Gary, Glenn E. Handwerk and Mark J. Kaiser is an essential textbook for students and a vital resource for engineers. This text provides updated data and addresses changes in refinery feedstock, product distribution, and processing requirements resulting from federal and state legislation.
Providing a 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. This book is written by experts with both academic and professional experience in refinery operation, design, and evaluation.
Updating equipment cost, data, catalyst, chemical, and energy requirements for each process unit, this book discusses product specification and new environmental regulations that will affect them, examines crude oil properties and how they relate to refinery operations and processing costs. It covers the process operations of integrated refineries and the methods to meet air and water quality standards.
Author discusses the purpose of feedstocks, catalysts, operating conditions, and products of the main refinery processes. This book includes an overview of crude oil supply and petroleum product demand. This is followed with a description of refinery process technology. Key refining technologies are described such as crude oil distillation, delayed coking, visbreaking, fluid catalytic cracking and hydrocracking, hydrotreating, and catalytic reforming.
