This first book to cover this important topic systematically and comprehensively presents a wealth of new insider knowledge and material. As such, it dealsextensively with aspects of engineering, chemistry and catalysts. The handbook and ready reference adopts a fundamental approach, looking at the molecules and their transformation from feed to product. Numerous examples illustrate the possibilities and limitations of Fischer-Tropsch syncrude as feed material. Of great interest to everyone interested in refining -- not just FT specialists.
