Crude Oil, Petroleum Products, Process Flowsheets

Crude Oil, Petroleum Products, Process Flowsheets

This five-volume series covers the entire range of technologies used in the petroleum refining industry. The books are intended for students and for the engineers and technicians who operate refineries. In this first volume, the reader will find, collected and condensed, the information needed to characterize, analyze, and evaluate crude oils from different origins and their corresponding petroleum cuts as well. The characteristics and specifications of all the petroleum products along with their simplified process flowsheets are reviewed. Numerous bibliographical references are made available for exploring the subject matter in greater depth if required.
