Good refining literature 2

[ecaputo]

Hello,
I will be starting a job soon most likely as a contact engineer in a petrolem refinery and I would like to learn a little before I start. I am looking for a book that has process descriptions and possibly one or maybe combined with basic troubleshooting in a refinery. I am asking because there are many expensive books out there and I dont have the budget or the time to try them all.
Much appreciated!

Good luck!

here's a plug, straight from the website:

Refining Overview - Petroleum, Processes and Products
CD-ROM

A joint effort between the Fuels and Petrochemicals Division and the South Texas Section has produced a CD-ROM titled Refining Overview - Petroleum, Processes and Products. The material was developed by Ed Ekholm, Freeman Self, and Keith Bowers of the South Texas Section’s Professional Development Committee. The Fuels and Petrochemicals Division provided technical review and production of the CD-ROM.

The CD won the 2001 National AIChE Gary Leach Award. It is the basis of a short course on refining that is given every year at the Spring National Meeting. Additionally, it is used for chemical engineering courses in several universities.

While I like the PHA-Pro software for Hazops (dyadem link), it has nothing to do with this question for refining literature.

I have worked in Largest refinery in world ( Reliance ) 27 million tpa, Nelson is the best source of getting information, and second good book, is Petroleum refing by Bhaskar Rao, this is an elementary book but covers almost all concept, except Gasoline pool, coking and other new technologies
