Hsu Ch., Robinson P. (eds.) Practical Advances in Petroleum Processing

Springer, 2006. — 866 p.
Want to know how to make ULSD? Formulate a lube base stock? Clean up an oil spill? Optimize an entire refinery? From oil production to product blending, Practical Advances in Petroleum Processing provides general overviews and in-depth reference material on these topics and scores of others. When you want information on the chemistry and technology of oil refining, look here first. Even if you don?t find what you need in this book, most likely it will lead you to the answer you need; our 50 contributors from 8 different countries in North America, Europe and Asia have provided hundreds of useful references. They represent oil companies, universities, catalyst vendors, process licensors, consultants and engineering contractors.The breadth of this two-volume book is unique. It covers areas seldom found in other works on petroleum processing. These include refinery economics, model-predictive control, process modeling, online optimization, safety! , and environmental protection.Petroleum Processing Overview
