1.0 out of 5 stars Wasted trees, Dec 1 2007

By F David Doty PhD - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes (Hardcover)

Of the roughly 30 books I've purchased and studied over the past year on related subjects, this is without question the worst. It is essentially a collection of several hundred extremely elementary articles, mostly written at newspaper level. All give the impression that the corporate patent attorneys were standing over the authors' shoulders to make sure they didn't say anything important. It is a black mark on McGraw-Hill's reputation. The main reason I didn't return it was that some of the articles provide useful references to the patent and professional literature. Of course, there are some useful data scattered throughout the haystacks, particularly for the business managers, but the book takes up far too much valuable shelf space. -F. David Doty, PhD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great catalog of state-of-the-art technology, Dec 21 2007

By Dirk J. Willard "Dirk Willard" - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes (Hardcover)

This book was clearly written by a process engineer not a production engineer. A previous handbook, "Petroleum Processing Handbook," by Bland and Davidson is a perfect contrast to this text. Bland and Davidson wrote about processing details only someone familiar with refinery and oilfield practices would know intimately. None of these details are shared in this handbook.

In contrast, Meyer's handbook covers all the new technology from a developer's point of view. The detail is excellent, complete with tables showing who is using this technology worldwide and what product breaks can be expected from its employment. Meyer's book is useless to anyone new to oil refining but may be useful in the library of an old hand.
