Fundamentals of Petroleum Refining provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, processes, technologies, and economics of modern petroleum refining. The book explains how crude oil is transformed into valuable products such as liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, lubricants, and petrochemical feedstocks through a series of physical and chemical refining operations. The text covers refinery feedstocks and products, thermophysical properties of crude oils and petroleum fractions, atmospheric and vacuum distillation, catalytic reforming, isomerization, thermal cracking, coking, hydroprocessing, hydrocracking, fluid catalytic cracking, alkylation, hydrogen production, and residue upgrading technologies. It also discusses fuel quality requirements, clean fuel production, sulfur reduction processes, acid gas treatment, and mercaptan removal methods. In addition to technical aspects, the book examines refinery safety, environmental protection, process integration, refinery economics, and operational optimization. Numerous industrial examples and a comprehensive refinery case study are included to illustrate the relationships between refining processes and overall refinery performance. The book serves as an important reference for students, researchers, petroleum engineers, refinery operators, and professionals working in the oil and gas industry.
