This book presents the thermal and catalytic processes in refining. The differences between each type of process and the types of feedstock that can be used for the processes are presented.

Understand the future of oil production with this comprehensive guide Heavy oil, also known as viscous oil, is oil too viscous to flow normally from wells and reservoirs. In recent decades it has become increasingly important as a source of liquid oil for use in industrial processes. This places all the greater importance on proper analysis of heavy oil and its properties, so that it can be more effectively refined and deployed to meet ever-g...

An industry expert details the various processes-dewatering, desalting, and distillation that prepare refinery feedstocks for the different conversion processes they will undergo. This practical and accessible guide is written for managers, professionals and technicians as well as graduate students transitioning into the refining industry.

This book presents the thermal and catalytic processes in refining. The differences between each type of process and the types of feedstock that can be used for the processes are presented.

Presents a description of the various types of crude oil and also includes a discussion of extra heavy oil and tar sand bitumen. Basic properties and specifications of crude oil and refinery products and their significance in refinery operations are provided.

Provides an essential understanding of natural environments and how they function by giving clear explanations of the fundamental aspects of environmental science and technology from a multidisciplinary perspective. It covers pollution, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, and global warming affecting the Earth's atmosphere.

Petroleum-based and natural gas-based chemicals are well-established products that have served industry and consumers for more than one hundred years. However, time is running out and natural gas and petroleum are now being depleted at a measurable rate. Thus, the need for alternative technologies to produce chemicals is necessary. Chemicals produced from sources other than natural gas and petroleum are making headway into the chemical balance...

This book provides a simplified approach to a very diverse chemical subject dealing with the chemistry and technology of various petroleum and petrochemical process. It presents valuable information containing insights into petrochemical reactions and products, process technology, and polymer synthesis.

According to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers), the total annual cost of corrosion in petroleum refining takes up $3.7 billion in the US alone. Corrosion control is always a challenge for the downstream industry, but as the quality of feedstock is declining due to refineries accepting more of the heavy and shale gas and oil resources that are more readily available today, refinery managers, petroleum and natural gas engineers ...

Due to their discounted value but chance to produce higher production rates, refineries are turning to accept more of high acidic crude feedstock, otherwise referred to as opportunity or challenging crude oils. Refining these resources is still on an increase due to high oil prices, with China dominating this market and doubling their production of high acid crudes by 2015. Processing these resources can significantly increase any refinery's p...

Asphalt is a complex but popular civil engineering material. Design engineers must understand these complexities in order to optimize its use. Whether or not it is used to pave a busy highway, waterproof a rooftop or smooth out an airport runway, Asphalt Materials Science and Technology acquaints engineers with the issues and technologies surrounding the proper selection and uses of asphalts. With this book in hand, researchers and engineering...

Petroleum refining involves refining crude petroleum as well as producing raw materials for the petrochemical industry. This book covers current refinery processes and process-types that are likely to come on-stream during the next three to five decades. The book includes (1) comparisons of conventional feedstocks with heavy oil, tar sand bitume
