Petroleum Refinery Engineering (4th Edition)

Petroleum Refinery Engineering (Fourth Edition, International Student Edition)
By Wilbur L. Nelson

Petroleum Refinery Engineering by Wilbur L. Nelson is a classic and comprehensive reference on the physics and engineering of oil refining, long regarded as a foundational text in the field. This fourth edition organizes the vast contemporary literature on petroleum refining into a well-structured, practical resource, emphasizing that engineers spend more time applying information than deriving it, and therefore providing extensive handbook data and comprehensive references throughout.

Topics commonly covered include:

• History and development of refining
• Composition of petroleum
• Refinery products and test methods
• Evaluation of oil stocks
• Distillation and fractionation
• Catalytic cracking and catalytic reforming
• Alkylation, polymerization, and isomerization
• Hydrogen treating and desulfurization
• Dewaxing and lubricating oil processing
• Heat transfer in refinery operations
• Corrosion and equipment design in refining
• Gas processing and natural gasoline recovery

Key features:

• Extensive handbook-style data and comprehensive references organized for practical, real-world use
• Contribution from A. Paul Buthod, Chairman of the Department of Refinery and Chemical Engineering at the University of Tulsa, including a dedicated chapter on Heat Transfer
• Long-established, classic reference used across generations of petroleum engineers
• Detailed treatment of refinery products, processes, and equipment design
• Extensive coverage of both physical and chemical aspects of petroleum processing
• Written by Wilbur L. Nelson, a consulting petroleum and chemical engineer and professor of petroleum refining at the University of Tulsa

Perfect for:

• Chemical and petroleum engineering students
• B.E./B.Tech students studying petroleum refining and processing
• Students specializing in petroleum and refinery engineering
• Faculty teaching petroleum refinery engineering courses
• Practicing petroleum and chemical engineers seeking a comprehensive refining reference
