Handbook Of Petroleum Refining (Hb 2017) Hardcover

It delves into current refinery techniques and also examines processes anticipated to become operational within the next 30 to 60 years. Key topics covered are: (1) how traditional oil sources compare to heavy oil, tar sands, and plant-based feedstocks: (2) the characteristics and processing challenges of these different feedstocks: (3) a comparison between heat-based and hydrogen-based refining methods: and (4) the environmental impact of petroleum refining activities.
