2. Petroleum Refining: Technology and Economics by James H. Gary (Author), Glenn E. Handwerk

Continuing the high standards set by earlier editions, Petroleum Refining, Fourth Edition summarizes recent developments in oil refining processes, addressing topics ranging from basic applications to the implementation of viable operations that meet environmental and economic requirements. The authors maintain the clear, systematic style that made previous editions so popular. This edition reviews petroleum-refining technology and refining processes, incorporates recent statistics on utility data, investment, and operating costs, and considers environmental factors, the place of reformulated fuels in product distribution, and uses for heavier crude oils and those with higher sulfur and metal



3. Thermal and Catalytic Processes in Petroleum Refining by Serge Raseev

Book Description
This text examines the thermal and catalytic processes involved in the refining of petroleum including visbreaking, coking, pyrolysis, catalytic cracking, oligomerization, alkylation, hydrofining, hydroisomerization, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming. It analyses the thermodynamics, reaction mechanisms, and kinetics of each process, as well as the effects of operating conditions and reactor design on process performance and product quality. This is a valuable resource for chemists who wish to improve their knowledge of some of the real world issues that must be addressed in hydrocarbon conversion. Topics include processes on metallic catalysts, processes using bifunctional catalysts, and catalytic reforming


4. Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes, 3rd Edition, 2003-10 by Robert A. Meyers

Handbook contains the latest technologies in the field of petroleum refining processes. Provides a detailed description and review of process chemistry and thermodynamics, product and by-product specifications, wastes, and emissions. Expanded to include 50% new material.
