From the Back Cover
A major revision of the definitive petroleum refining handbook--now includes 56 licensable technologies! With worldwide petroleum refining capacity expected to continue its expansion well into the 21st century, here is a timely and thorough revision of the definitive handbook on the licensable technologies for producing environmentally acceptable fuels and petrochemical intermediates. A global compendium of refining technologies, this Handbook has been prepared by UOP, Chevron, Exxon, Foster Wheeler, M.W. Kellogg, and Stone and Webster, six major technology licensors. In addition, many of the technologies presented here were co-developed with firms from around the world, including such organizations as british petroleum, Institut Francais de Petrole, Catalyst Chemicals Industries Co., Instituto Mexicano del Petroleo (IMP), and Sinopec International. In response to the forecasts for growth in refining, the worldwide impact of environmental regulations, and the increasing demand for certain product classes, this Second Edition has been completely updated to discuss the technological, pollution control, and economic aspects of nearly 60 major processes, including: Alkylation and Polymerization; Base Aromatic Production Processes; Catalytic Cracking; Dehydrogenation, Gasification and Hydrogen Production; Hydrocracking; Hydrotreating; Isomerization; Separation Processes; Sulfur Compound Extraction and Sweeteening; Visbreaking and Coking; Hydrogen Processing; Oxygenates Production. Each technology covered includes a detailed description and review of process chemistry and thermodynamics, product and by-product specifications, wastes and emissions, and capital and operating costs--everything needed for the initial evaluation of a refinery addition or new grass roots refinery. This new edition is an invaluable resource for all engineers working in the petroleum and chemical processing industries during this time of industry resurgence.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, quick process overviews,
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes (Hardcover)
This handbook provides short (10 pages per process typically) descriptions of widely used chemical processes. The level of detail is appropriate for anyone with a technical backround.

Review of Petroleum Processes Handbook,
By STEVEN B KROLL (Brooklyn, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes (Hardcover)
I am interested in this particular technology and, naturally wondered if this was the book I was looking for. This book is a hardcover textbook from McGrawHill and contains clear,concise text with the right balance of general knowledge, technical discussion and charts/diarams. From only a knowledge of basic chemistry to advanced degrees in Sciece and Engineering, this book satisfies all! It is impecable in quality and content and,well worth the cost and, was delivered promptly.

Meyers' Handbook on Petroleum Refining Processes is a great value,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes (Hardcover)
Meyers' Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes contains straightforward descriptions and discussions of key refining elements, along with helpful diagrams. I am an environmental chemist and have had recent occasion to investigate an old petroleum refinery that is on the National Priory List of Superfund. As a chemist whose focus has been on inorganics since graduate school, the organic chemistry was easily digested and assimilated. This reference is the bookshelf in my business office and not gathering dust at home. I consider it one of the best purchases that I have made in years, and at present I am using it almost daily.
