Description of Item

Authors Don Burdick and Bill Leffler have completely rewritten this time-honored bestseller. With its chapters on all the base chemicals and derivatives, plus seven new ones covering the Fischer-Tropsch process, polyurethane, epoxy resins, and more, the 4th edition presents the broadest available look inside the petrochemical industry. 

Petrochemicals in Nontechnical Language, 4th Edition is a classic that delivers the information every person in the industry needs, translating difficult concepts into understandable language with easy-to-understand diagrams, charts, and tables, and digestible chapter reviews. Read it cover to cover or by chapter as the subject comes up in your business. Use it as a nontechnical encyclopedia or as a primer in petrochemical economics.

Features & Benefits

  • Read it cover to cover for a nontechnical education covering 90% (by volume) of the traded petrochemicals.
  • Read a chapter or section as subjects come up in your business life. Each chapter is designed to be a self-contained description of one petrochemical. If you’re too busy, there are short summaries at the end of each chapter.
  • Use it as a nontechnical encyclopedia. The glossary in the back has more than 300 technical terms and is blessedly nontechnical. 
  • Use it as a primer in petrochemical economics. Many of the chapters have material balances that will let you put current prices to them.
  • Recommend it to your team members, team leaders, or anyone else who needs to know at least half as much about petrochemicals as you do.

Audience

  • Petroleum engineers
  • Field level personnel
  • Management
  • Energy lending and finance professionals
  • Anyone who seeks to understand how, or relies upon, energy markets
  • Students
