This book is a great reference tool for people in petroleum related fields who do not have technical training. If you are involved in oil and gas operations, sales, retail, etc., this book really helps you understand the terminology and the process. Everyone in my office uses it!
I am a non-chemist in a market analyst's position previously occupied by a Chemical Engineer. I never even so much as did "Mickey Mouse" chemistry at school, so my learning curve has been a pretty steep one. For someone to write a book like this is very unusual, as the refining industry is typically the preserve of the technical elite, and this book removes the mystique and even manages to deal with a difficult subject with an essence of humour! Thank you Bill - I'm trying to get hold of the rest of the saga - Petrochemicals in Non-Technical Language!
Great book. Read it again and it again. Easy index in back for reference. Keeps the complexity a minimal as possible. I think all sales persons who call on refineries should read this book.
Good information about oil refining. Would recommend
Best book out there to learm
