Product Description

Author: Kaiser Mark J.

Brand: CRC Press

Edition: 6

Number Of Pages: 722

Details: Product Description

For four decades, Petroleum Refining has guided thousands of readers toward a reliable understanding of the field, and through the years has become the standard text in many schools and universities around the world offering petroleum refining classes, for self-study, training, and as a reference for industry professionals.
The sixth edition of this perennial bestseller continues in the tradition set by Jim Gary as the most modern and authoritative guide in the field. Updated and expanded to reflect new technologies, methods, and topics, the book includes new discussion on the business and economics of refining, cost estimation and complexity, crude origins and properties, fuel specifications, and updates on technology, process units, and catalysts.
The first half of the book is written for a general audience to introduce the primary economic and market characteristics of the industry and to describe the inputs and outputs of refining. Most of this material is new to this edition and can be read independently or in parallel with the rest of the text. In the second half of the book, a technical review of the main process units of a refinery is provided, beginning with distillation and covering each of the primary conversion and treatment processes. Much of this material was reorganized, updated, and rewritten with greater emphasis on reaction chemistry and the role of catalysis in applications.
Petroleum Refining: Technology, Economics, and Markets is a book written for users, the practitioners of refining, and all those who want to learn more about the field.

About the Author

Mark J. Kaiser is Marathon Professor and Director of the Research and Development Division at the Center for Energy Studies at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, where he has worked since 2001. His research interests cover the oil, gas, and refining industry, cost estimation, economic evaluation, fiscal analysis, infrastructure modeling, and regulatory policy. Dr Kaiser has authored over 200 academic publications and has secured grants of several million dollars over his career. He is the author of four research monographs: Offshore Wind Installation and Decommissioning Cost Modeling (Springer-Verlag 2012), The Offshore Drilling Industry and Rig Construction in the United States (Springer-Verlag 2013), Offshore Service Industry and Logistics Modeling in the Gulf of Mexico (Springer-Verlag 2015), and Decommissioning Forecasting and Operating Cost Estimation (Elsevier 2019). He has also developed several commercial reports on offshore decommissioning,and serves on the editorial boards of over two dozen academic journals, his favorites being Energy, Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, and Petroleum Science and Technology. Dr. Kaiser occasionally consults and serves as technical expert to government agencies and private firms, and in the first part of his career worked in the fields of convex geometry, geometric optimization, and computational metrology. Dr. Kaiser received a Ph.D. degree in industrial engineering in 1991 from Purdue University.
Arno de Klerk is the Nexen Professor of Catalytic Reaction Engineering, and the NSERC/Nexen-CNOOC Ltd Industrial Research Chair in Field Upgrading and Asphaltenes Processing at the University of Alberta, Canada. He grew up in South Africa, where he spent part of his early career as a forensic analyst, and from 1995 to 2008 worked as a process engineer in the Research and Development Center of Sasol in refinery conversion processes and catalysis. His refining work focused mainly on transportation fuel and petrochemical production starting from synthetic oil from Fischer–Tropsch synthesis and oil from coal pyrolysis. It led to the monographs Catalysis in the Refining of Fischer–Tropsch Syncrude (Royal Society of Chemistry 2010) with Edward Furimsky, and Fischer–Tropsch Refining (Wiley-VCH 2011). In 2009, he took up a position in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering
