Review: Great book - You can’t literally discuss petroleum refining without being technical. the topics that ARE technical are discussed in a very clear and easy to understand approach. This is a great book for someone first studying this fascinating topic, but is unfamiliar with terms and concepts. The book is a fabulous first step in the learning process. This book will prepare you for a more advanced study that would include the math, etc.
Review: Great intro to physical/chemical aspects of petroleum industry - This is an excellent introduction to the physical/chemical aspects of the petroleum industry. The book packs a lot of information in its 259 pages. It is in its 4th edition. There is information in that. There is not much fluff, other than witty quotes at the beginning of each chapter., e.g., the chapter on Refinery Gas Plants begins with “… and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divedeth his sheep from the goats.” -Matthew 25:32. There are minor errors, e.g., George Dantzig’s name (of linear programming fame) is spelled two different ways, neither correct. There is a nice chapter on sources and kinds of crude oil, however, this material is about ten years old. It has nothing on “fracking.”

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good start for non-engineers
*by M***S on November 11, 2010*

The language, as its title says, is non-technical, and sufficiently down to earth and basic that it is recommended lecture for those starting in the industry. Recommended to read first, before moving to more technical and engineering textbooks. More illustrations could make it even more complete. Randall Croes
