In the front of the book are two convenient sections that will be very helpful to the reader. Wherever possible, shortcut methods of calculations are included along with nomographic methods of solution. Each of the processing chapters contain information on plant design as well as significant chemical reactions. The handbook is conveniently divided into four sections: products, refining, manufacturing processes, and treating processes.
