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

Shale Oil and Gas Production Processes delivers the basics on current production technologies and the processing and refining of shale oil. Starting with the potential of formations and then proceeding to production and completion, this foundational resource also dives into the chemical and physical nature of the precursor of oil shale, kerogen, to help users understand and optimize its properties in shale. Rounding out with reporting, in situ retorting, refining and environmental aspects, this book gives engineers and managers a strong starting point on how to manage the challenges and processes necessary for the further development of these complex resources.Helps readers grasp current research on production from shale formations, including properties and compositionFill in the gaps between research and practical application, including discussions of existing literature Includes a glossary to help readers fully understand key concepts

The Chemistry and Technology of Coal, Third Edition covers the relationship of coal industry processes with environmental regulations, as well as the effects of combustion products on the atmosphere. It introduces the science of coal, beginning with its formation in the ground, leading to the production of a wide variety of products and petrochemical intermediates in the twenty-first century. The book is designed for scientists, engineers, and students engaged in the coal and/or catalyst manufacturing industry looking for a general overview or update on the science of coal.
