A Review of: “Oil Refineries in the 21st Century: Energy Efficient, Cost Effective, Environmentally Benign”

Abstract

The book gives a detailed practical approach to improve the energy efficiency in petroleum processing and deals with the role of management and refinery operators in achieving the best technological parameters, the most rational utilization of energy, as well as the greatest possible economic success. The book contains chapters related to: Technological and Energy Characteristics of the Chemical Process Industry, Techno-Economic Aspects of Efficiency and Effectiveness of an Oil Refinery, Instruments for Determining Energy and Processing Efficiency of an Oil Refinery, Blending of Semi-Products into Finished Products and Determining Fished Product Cost Prices, and Management in the Function of Increasing Energy and Processing Efficiency and Effectiveness. This book provides an interesting and apparent introspective look at the efficiency of refineries and how this efficiency can be adapted to future needs. It provides interesting and thought-provoking reading.
