"This comprehensive book by Robinson and Hsu will certainly become the standard text book for the oil refining business. Starting from the beginning of the use of crude oil as a source of energy, it shows its development to one of the main economic drivers of modern society. A large part of the book is devoted to an extensive and thorough review of "state of the art" techniques and technologies of the processes used in the industry. In conclusion, an outlook is given pointing out new developments that will influence the business tomorrow. This book is a must read for all who are associated with oil refining." - Dr. Walter Fritsch, Senior Vice President Refining, OMV "This book covers a very advanced horizon of petroleum processing technology. For all refiners facing regional and global environmental concerns, and for those who seek a more sophisticated understanding of the refining of petroleum resources, this book has been long in coming." - Mr. Naomasa Kondo, Cosmo Oil Company, Ltd. "Practical Advances in Petroleum Processing is a very informative and useful collation of basic petroleum knowledge and practical technology applications. I will certainly recommend it for our SRC technical library." - Mr. James Er, Technical Manager, Singapore Refining Company.

Aimed at students and professionals, this book covers every major aspect of petroleum: the origin of fossil hydrocarbons and their chemical/physical properties; discovering hydrocarbon reserves; recovering oil, gas, and bitumen; purifying gas; the chemical and physical characterization of crude oil; refining crudes into fuels and lubricants; and converting simple chemicals into solvents, polymers, fibers, rubbers, coatings, and myriad other products, including pharmaceuticals. Readers will learn how the industry operates, from "upstream" exploration and production, "midstream" transportation to "downstream" refining, and manufacturing of finished products. The book also contains unique chapters on midstream operations, learnings from major accidents, and safety/environmental laws and regulations. It builds on the authors' previous books and teaching material from a highly rated course that is taught at the Florida A&M University/Florida State University (USA).

This handbook provides a comprehensive but concise reference resource for the vast field of petroleum technology. Built on the successful book "Practical Advances in Petroleum Processing" published in 2006, it has been extensively revised and expanded to include upstream technologies. The book is divided into four parts: The first part on petroleum characterization offers an in-depth review of the chemical composition and physical properties of petroleum, which determine the possible uses and the quality of the products. The second part provides a brief overview of petroleum geology and upstream practices. The third part exhaustively discusses established and emerging refining technologies from a practical perspective, while the final part describes the production of various refining products, including fuels and lubricants, as well as petrochemicals, such as olefins and polymers. It also covers process automation and real-time refinery-wide process optimization. Two key chapters provide an integrated view of petroleum technology, including environmental and safety issues. Written by international experts from academia, industry and research institutions, including integrated oil companies, catalyst suppliers, licensors, and consultants, it is an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students as well as practitioners and professionals.

Aimed at students and professionals, this book provides an overview of the science and technology of the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry. Topics include the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks – including renewables – into fuels and lubricants. They also describe the conversion of simple chemicals into solvents, polymers, fibers, rubbers, coatings, and myriad other products, including pharmaceuticals. In addition to drawing on the authors' previous books, it includes teaching material from several courses. These include workshops provided for top refining companies and a highly rated course taught at the Florida A&M University/Florida State University (USA).
