Over the last several decades, the petroleum industry has experienced significant changes in resource availability, petro-politics, and technological advancements dictated by the changing quality of refinery feedstocks. However, the dependence on fossil fuels as primary energy source has remained unchanged.

Refinery Feedstocks address the problems of (i) changing feedstock availability and properties, and (ii) refining, and (iii) solids deposition during refining. The book will take the reader through the various steps that are necessary for crude oil evaluation and refining including the potential for the use of coal liquids, shale oil, and non-fossil fuel materials (biomass) as refinery feedstocks.

Other features include:

Describes the various types of crude oil and includes a discussion of extra heavy oil and tar sand bitumen.
Includes basic properties and specifications of crude oil and the significance in refinery operations.

This book is a handy reference for engineers, scientists and students who want an update on crude oil refining and on the direction the industry must take to assure the refinability of various feedstocks and the efficiency of the refining processes in the next fifty years. Non-technical readers, with help from the extensive glossary, will also benefit from reading the book.
