Catalytic hydroprocessing of petroleum and distillates : based on the proceedings of the AIChE spring national meeting, Houston, Texas March 28 - April 1, 1993

This work is based on the proceedings of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' Spring National Meeting in Houston, Texas, March 28 to April 1, 1993. It details various facets of residue upgrading and distillate hydrotreating, stressing the importance of selective catalysts in aromatics reduction. New aromatics saturation processes for the production of very low-aromatic distillates are introduced.
