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.

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 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.
