Petroleum Refinery Process Economics
Second Edition

by Robert E. Maples

Petroleum Refinery Process Economics is a must-have text for process engineers, refinery schedulers, planners, and managers.

Robert 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.

Operating and capital costs are discussed for economic evaluation of both single processes and complete refineries.
