Summary:

A must-have text for process engineers, refinery schedulers, planners, and managers. Maples presents an organized look at the yield data and properties of products from refinery processes and how to use this information in performing process economics studies of various types. Further, operating and capital costs are discussed for economic evaluation of both single processes and complete refineries. Yield correlations are presented for all of the important, commercially-established petroleum refinery processes. Each correlation is accompanied by operating requirements plus the capital cost of a typical unit.
