Hardback : £138.00
The Refinery of the Future, Second Edition, delivers useful knowledge that will help the engineer understand the processes involved, feedstocks, composition and future technologies. Covering the basic chemistry, commercial processes already in use and future innovation, this reference gives engineers and managers the tools needed to understand refining products, feedstocks, and the processes critical to convert feedstocks to desired outcomes. New information concerning tight shale formations and heavy oil process options is included for today’s operations. Rounding out with future uses in shale, bioliquids and refinery configurations, this book gives engineers and refinery managers the knowledge to update and upgrade their refinery assets.

Dr. Speight has more than fifty years of experience in areas
associated with the properties and processing of conventional and
synthetic fuels. He has participated in, as well as led,
significant research in defining the use of chemistry of tar sand
bitumen, heavy oil, conventional petroleum, natural gas, coal, oil
shale, and biomass as well as work related to corrosion and
corrosion prevention. He has founded and/or edited several
international journals, most recently the Proceedings of the Oil
Gas Scientific Research Project Institute, Azerbaijan, and
Petroleum Science and Technology (Taylor & Francis, until
2020).
Dr. Speight is an author/editor of several databases and
encyclopedic works. He has also authored more than 95 books as well
as more than 400 publications, reports, and presentations detailing
