Refineries must not only adapt to evolving environmental regulations for
cleaner product specifications and processing, but also find ways to meet the
increasing demand for petroleum products,particularly for liquid fuels and
petrochemical feedstocks. The Chemistry and Technology of Petroleum, Fourth
Edition offers a 21st century perspective on the development of petroleum
refining technologies.
Like its bestselling predecessors, this volume traces the science of petroleum
from its subterranean formation to the physicochemical properties and the
production of numerous products and petrochemical intermediates. Presenting
nearly 50 percent new material, this edition emphasizes novel refining
approaches that optimize efficiency and throughput. It includes new chapters on
heavy oil and tar sand bitumen recovery, deasphalting and dewaxing processes,
and environmental aspects of refining, including refinery wastes, regulations,
and analysis. The text also features revised and expanded coverage of
instability and incompatibility, refinery distillation, thermal cracking,
hydrotreating and desulfurization, hydrocracking, and hydrogen production.
A unique, well-documented, and forward-thinking work, this book continues to
present the most complete coverage of petroleum science, technology, and
refining available. The Chemistry and Technology of Petroleum, Fourth Edition
provides an ideal platform for scientists, engineers, and other professionals
to achieve cleaner and more efficient petroleum processing methods.
