Features: "The 21st Century Refinery" is a new book on the technical and economic aspects of refineries in the new century. The book is divided into six chapters, primarily discussing the context of high oil prices in the 21st century, where refineries, as producers of oil products, are major energy consumers. It explores how energy consumption analysis can be used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of refinery energy use, reduce production costs, and achieve maximum refinery profit. The book systematically discusses the methods for measuring the energy and process efficiency of 10 refining processing units, including crude oil distillation units, atmospheric distillation units, vacuum residue viscosity reduction units, oxidation asphalt units, catalytic reforming units, catalytic cracking units, gas separation units, jet fuel hydrodesulfurization units, diesel hydrodesulfurization units, and alkylation units. This book serves as a reference for management personnel, technical staff, and economic planning development in the fields of refining production, management, and related areas. It can also be used as a reference book for university teachers and students.
