As more unconventional and shale feedstocks deliver to refineries, refinery managers and petrochemical engineers need to keep up with evolving technology, processes and standards, but it's difficult to bridge between the basic education to today's commercial applications. Refinery of the Future, Second Edition delivers useful knowledge for the engineer to understand the processes involved, feedstocks, composition and future technology. Covering the basic chemistry, commercial processes already in use and future innovation, this reference gives engineers and managers the tool needed to understand refining products, feedstocks, and the processes critical to convert that feedstock to desired outcomes. New information concerning tight shale formations as well as more information uncovered on heavy oil process options are included for today's operations. Rounding out with future uses in shale, bioliquids, and refinery configurations, Refinery of the Future, Second Edition gives engineers and refinery managers the knowledge to update and upgrade their refinery assets to keep up with today's oil and gas operations. Links basic petrochemical and refinery knowledge into application for today's oil and gas refining industryGain insights in development and applications of refining process technology as well as types of feedstock and their properties including newer types relative to shale and unconventional activityUpdated with a focus on crude oils recovered from tight shale and sandstone formations as well as more increased emphasis on heavy oil and tar sand bitumen INDICE: 1.
