Maples presents an organized look at yield data and properties of products from refinery processes, how to use this information in performing various process economics studies, and discusses operating and capital costs 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 accompanied by operating requirements and capital cost of a typical unit. Here the user has all of the information required to perform a preliminary economic evaluation. For each process yield correlation a simplified process flow diagram and brief process description is given.rnrnContents: rnCorrelation methodology rnCrude oils, hydrocarbons, and refinery products rnRefinary processing overview rnEnergy resources and transportation fuels rnThe environment and the refinery rnCrude oil and residual oil processing Solvent deasphalting rnVisbreaking and aquaconversion rnDelayed coking rnFluid coking/flexicoking rnHeavy distillate processing rnFluid catalylic and heavy oil cracking rnHydrocracking rnHydrotreating Light distillate processing rnNaphtha desulfurization rnCatalytic reforming rnLight hydrocarbon processing rnIsomerization rnAlkylation rnCatalytic polymerization and dehydration rnOxygenates rnTreating and other auxiliary processes rnAromatics extraction rnHydrogen manufacture rnSour water stripping rnSweetening rnAcid gas removal rnSulfur recovery rnTail gas cleanup rnWater treatment and waste disposal rnBlending rnProcess economics rnEconomics.rn
