Distillation and Hydrocarbon Processing Practices

This is a very nice compilation of calculations, suggestions and typical process schematics for various hydrocarbon processing units put together in a very practically oriented book. This is NOT a theoretical exposition of distillation principles and hydraulics. If you are a practicing process engineer involved in revamping, debottlenecking or designing refinery distillation units this volume is certainly worth every penny. Recommended

This book provides inputs ranging from distillation fundamentals to Refinery practices to design techniques. In his inimitable lucid style, Mr. Nag talks about many of his invaluable learnings gathered from his vast experience in the Refining industry with explanation through several case studies. It not only deals with in-depth study on distillation but also explains important design and operational inputs on all Refinery units. This book should be a part of every Refiner’s library for ready reference. Highly recommended.

In this book, the author has blended his practical experiences with the theories and principles of chemical engineering in a very effective and efficient manner. Simulation interface, design guidelines and case studies added a new flavor to the texture. Not only for professionals, but also for engineering students ..... Highly recommended...Anirban Banerjee..

The book is a unique blend of practice , related theories and simulation with current refining technologies together in a concise form. I would recommend Refining Professionals to go through the book atleast once to have overall knowledge of a refinery.

Simulation Guidelines, Real Field Aspects, Troubleshooting-Revamp Cases.Comes from an author with 35 years into Refining and still working. Right Blend of Fundamentals and Real world problems.Must for all the Refinery Process Engineers..
