 EXCELLENT BOOK September 23, 2008
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT PETROLEUM REFINING, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU !!
Great General / Overview June 25, 2008
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.
Excellent Non-Tech Petroleum Book April 11, 2008
This is an excellent book to get insight about Oil Industry without going through the hassel of understanding the technical/chemical info.
 Refining March 4, 2008
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.
Oil Refining for "Dummies" December 21, 2007
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.
