Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great General / Overview
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Non-Tech Petroleum Book
This is an excellent book to get insight about Oil Industry without going through the hassel of understanding the technical/chemical info.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Refining
Book is not bad, not much technical information in it. I would have liked to see more information written about the various process's. Just gives a very broad look at the refining units.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Oil Refining for "Dummies"
As an experienced chemical engineer new to downstream oil work, i.e., refineries, this book has been highly useful. I expect to use it as a quick reference years after mastering the field. William Leffler has written a simple, easy to read training program for engineers and non-engineers alike. If you are new to refineries or would like to know more about the subject, say from the perspective of ethanol refining, this is book for you. I suggest starting here and going on to harder material later. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Good Starting Point
As someone who is fairly new to the oil & gas industry I wanted something to explain the essentials of refining and this is exactly what this book does. In easy to understand language with a minimum of math one is able to understand the basics of the refining process.

I will want to go on from here to something that is much more in depth, but as a starting point this was exactly what I was looking for.
