Synopsis

This book emphasizes conceptual design and development, focusing on the foundation and hierarchies in process synthesis and development. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of refining, from crude oil deliveries and laboratory analysis, through desalting, atmospheric distillation, and further downstream processing—including separation, conversion, finishing, and support facilities—up to the final products for various end-use applications. The book also offers an overview and analysis of petrochemical process technologies and products.In addition, there is an in-depth exploration of natural gas processing and operations, covering the entire value chain: from natural gas as feedstock to the final consumer products, incorporating all specified requirements along the way. Overall, this book presents a blend of chemical engineering principles and unit operations with closely related practices in crude oil refining, petrochemical operations, and natural gas processing. It integrates selected engineering training materials on refining, postgraduate university course modules, the author’s PhD thesis, OPEC research program, published books, and research articles.
