Book excerpt: 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 the primary energy source has remained unchanged. Refinery Feedstocks addresses the problems of changing feedstock availability and properties; the refining process; and solids deposition during refining. This 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: 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 this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Petroleum Refining presents the fundamentals of thermodynamics and kinetics, and it explains the scientific background essential for understanding refinery operations. The text also provides a detailed introduction to refinery engineering topics, ranging from the basic principles and unit operations to overall refinery economics. The book covers important topics, such as clean fuels, gasification, biofuels, and environmental impact of refining, which are not commonly discussed in most refinery textbooks. Throughout the source, problem sets and examples are given to help the reader practice and apply the fundamental principles of refining. Chapters 1-10 can be used as core materials for teaching undergraduate courses. The first two chapters present an introduction to the petroleum refining industry and then focus on feedstocks and products. Thermophysical properties of crude oils and petroleum fractions, including processes of atmospheric and vacuum distillations, are discussed in Chapters 3 and 4. Conversion processes, product blending, and alkylation are covered in chapters 5-10. The remaining chapters discuss hydrogen production, clean fuel production, refining economics and safety, acid gas treatment and removal, and methods for environmental and effluent treatments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As feedstocks to refineries change, there must be an accompanying change in refinery technology. This means a movement from conventional means of refining heavy feedstocks using (typically) coking technologies to more innovative processes that will coax the last drips of liquid fuels from the feedstock. This book presents the evolution of refinery processes during the last century and as well as the means by which refinery processes will evolve during the next three-to-five decades. Chapters contain material relevant to (1) comparisons of current feedstocks with heavy oil and bio-feedstocks; (2) evolution of refineries since the 1950s, (3) properties and refinability of heavy oil and bio-feedstocks, (4) thermal processes vs. hydroprocesses, and (5) evolution of products to match the environmental market. Process innovations that have influenced refinery processing over the past three decades are presented, as well as the relevant patents that have the potential for incorporation into future refineries.• Comparison of current feedstocks with heavy oil and bio-feedstocks. • Evolution of refineries over the past three decades. • Properties and refinability of heavy oil and bio-feedstocks. • Thermal processes vs. Hydroprocesses. • Evolution of products to match the environmental market.

Book excerpt: Besides covering topics like catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, and alkylation, this volume has chapters on waste water treatment and the economics of managing or commissioning the design of a petroleum refinery. Found only in this volume is material on operating a jointly owned and operated refinery. (Over the last decade, the ownership of many refineries has shifted to small companies, from the large, integrated companies. Because of this shift, many refineries are now jointly owned and operated.) Filled with handy process flow diagrams, this volume is the only reference that a chemical engineer or process manager in a petroleum refinery needs for answers to everyday process and operations questions. * Covers the technologies and operations of petroleum refineries * Provides material on operating a jointly owned and operated refinery * Gives readers a comprehensive introduction to petroleum refining, as well as a full reference to engineers in the field

This book was released on 2022-06-27 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silvestre Cassa Iombo is a currently CEO of OIL FIELD Calculator. He has worked on deepwater oilfield projects: Girassol and Jasmim Phase 2, Dália, Rosa, Clov, Gimboa, and Kizomba Satellites; in shallow water oilfield projects: Morsa West. He worked on the 17 operations team and SONANGOL. He had the idea to develop the Oil Industry Value Chain Simulator when the author was studying at Louisiana State College in the late 90's. When he was taking the Reservoir Simulator course. He saw that there was a need to make a Simulator that integrates the reservoir to the Fuel pump. When the author was admitted to SONANGOL, he became interested in understanding the basic technical concepts, and commercial activities established in the Petroleum Field Development Act after participating in several Petroleum projects. The PTY project, Value Chain Simulator, started to be executed in 2004 when the author was working as a process engineer at Project Rosa. In 2004, first sketch of the value chain simulator was done by the Project team. During this phase of the project, the sketch of the Submarine Simulator was done. In 2007, the sketch of the production installation simulator in Italy was made when the author was participating in the Value Chain Management and Technique Course. In 2008, after the conclusion of the Value Chain Management and Technique course, the separation of the Submarine Simulator and installation was carried out by the Author. During his 2009-2010 Mission period in Houston, Texas, the author started to integrate the deep water project simulator, and the oil marketing simulator, Refinery, Logistics, Distribution, and fuel pump. In 2011, it started to integrate the onshore, deep water and Gas Chain Simulators. In the same year the Value Chain Simulator was successfully completed and tested. It began to be sold on the Angolan market by the company named SILVESTRE'S ENTREPRISE INCOORPERATED. Apart of this Silvestre Cassa Iombo gas developed one of the first calculator to project petroleum infrastructure and estimate its cost, OFC2000.
