Catalytic Hydroprocessing of Petroleum and Distillates ― Based on the Proceedings of the Aiche Spring National Meeting, Houston, Texas March 28-April

Based on the proceedings of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' Spring National Meeting in Houston, Texas, March 28-April 1, 1993, this outstanding reference details various facets of residue upgrading and distillate hydrotreating - stressing the importance of selective catalysts in aromatics' reduction.
Containing authoritative contributions from more than 55 internationally acclaimed experts, Catalytic Hydroprocessing of Petroleum and Distillates introduces new aromatics saturation processes for the production of very low-aromatic distillates ... discusses catalyst deactivation, advances in middle distillate hydrotreating, and residue hydrocracking ... examines different ways of reducing sulfur and aromatics in diesel fuels ... explains the complex processes required to transform bitumen into marketable distillates ... includes the extension of ebullated bed reactors to low-sulfur distillate processes ... investigates recent progress in residuum upgrading technology ... and more.
Furnishing over 600 key literature citations and helpful tables, equations, drawings, and photographs, Catalytic Hydroprocessing of Petroleum and Distillates is an invaluable resource for chemical, process, petroleum, and refining engineers; fuel scientists; petroleum, fuel, analytical, and environmental chemists; physicists; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.
