Publisher's Synopsis
An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is transformed and refined into useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas, jet fuel, and fuel oils. Petrochemicals feed stock like ethylene and propylene can also be produced directly by cracking crude oil without the need of using refined products of crude oil such as naphtha. This is a complex process that should be cultivated for a long time.
This book represents an unprecedented technology refractory work for practical use, in the areas of inspection, planning, installation, as well as for the dry out in the field. It simplifies countless situations, provides invaluable information and tools for direct use, which will result in time savings and increased efficiency in different activities from the inspection of refractories to the operation of plants
