2.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment, June 24, 2006

Dale Embry (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
When I read the abstract for this book I thougth I would pick up some information or process description that would help pick out the most economical scheme to process a given feedstock. Instead what I got was mostly a rehash of what I can get from Hydrocarbon processing without any hard numbers or equations to use. The author spends most of the time describing databases of process inoformation he has collected and how he went about correlating the results, but without ever bothering to print the correlations that were developed. Instead you get tables comparing the authors correlations to other correlations which also are not published. This does nothing to help you know how to predict the performance of a unit.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really worth buying, February 16, 2011
By 
Just echoing Dale's review.
Very brief descriptions on refining products and processes and then a whole bunch of not really useful Excel-from-the-ninties looking like tables and the graphs developed from these tables. Missing the essentials on Process Basics and Maths on both Process Engineering and Economics. Would try to find another book for the subject instead.
