Widely adopted as the standard textbook in numerous universities worldwide offering petroleum refining courses, for self-study purposes, training, and as a reference for industry professionals.

The sixth edition of this perennial bestseller, authored by Mark J. Kaiser, Arno de Klerk, James H. Gary, and Glenn E. Handwerk, continues the legacy set by Jim Gary as the most contemporary and authoritative guide in the field. Updated and expanded to incorporate new technologies, methodologies, and challenges, this edition includes fresh discussions on the business and economics of refining, cost estimation and complexity, properties and origins of crude, fuel specifications, as well as updates on technology, process elements, and catalysts.

The first part of the book is tailored for a general audience to introduce the fundamental economic and market trends of the industry, elucidating the inputs and outputs of the refining process.

Much of this content has been restructured, updated, and rewritten with a greater emphasis on reaction chemistry and the role of catalysis in applications.
