It's a okay book. i completed a course in refining and had this book. If you don't understand how different units work or new to the business this book would be a good place to start. easy explanation of process and useful diagrams.
Almost perfect December 9, 2008
Jersey Kid (Katy, Texas, America!)
I have a BA degree in International Studies and an MBA in Finance. I have been in market and competitor analysis with energy consulting firms and operating companies for 28 years.
I have relied on this book every step of the way.
Do not expect to get a detailefd understanding of how refining works. If that is what you are seerking, you're not in the right place (hint: read the title!). What this spelndid little book does is give a business person enough background to understand the various processes, both individually and as part of the flow from crude oil to, for example gasoline. How good is this book? Well, it has been in continuous publication for some 20 years.
EXCELLENT BOOK September 23, 2008

Great General / Overview June 25, 2008
Robert E. Stevens (Richland, WA USA)
Not going to be able to do process design of a petroleum refinery unit with this, but for other disciplines or general orientation, this book can't be beat. Even I find it useful for quick simple reference, and I am a Chemical Engineer with 15 years experience doing process design of petroleum refinery units.
