Catalysis is literally the heart of many petroleum refining processes and therefore of ongoing interest to those in and around the refining industry. This new book will examine fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), reforming, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, isomerization, and polymerization, as well as catalysts of the future. Readers will understand the connection between catalyst and product, what makes a catalyst good or bad, and how catalysts affect petroleum products and profits.
