Petroleum Refining is a fluid subject, it takes continuous changes with frequent changes in crude oil price, demand and supply, the changes are essential for survival in the fluid market scinario. The frequent change in the methodologies requires updation of knowledge and information in this vast development. We have tried to incorporate changes in this edition along with additions in new chapters with the objective to be more effective to the readers. Creative and constructive suggestions from the readers will be appreciated.
