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
