Petroleum refineries have grown rapidly in complexity and so, too, the refinery operations. However, the published information on the refinery processes and operation is scant and mostly confined to licensor’s data, which reveal little beyond what is absolutely necessary for process sale, even when these processes have been in operation for a number of years and in many refineries.

This book is an overview of the processes and operations concerned with refining of crude oil into products. The streams coming from processing units are not finished products; they must be blended to yield finished products. The refining operations presented here are those concerned with blending products in an optimum manner with the twin objectives of meeting product demand and maximizing refinery profit. The objective here is to provide basic instructions in refinery practices employing the methods and language of the industry.
