Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technical Examination of Crude Petroleum, Petroleum Products and Natural Gas: Including Also the Procedures Employed in the Evaluation of Oil-Shale and the Laboratory Methods in Use in the Control of the Operation of Benzol-Recovery Plants This manual on analytical bitumenology has been prepared primarily to meet the requirements of students of hydrocarbon chemistry and petroleum engineering. There is, however, a generally recognized need in the chemical profession for a treatise which shall present the methods now in use for the technical examination and evaluation of the hydrocarbon complexes, natural gas, crude petroleum and oil-shale and their commer cially important products; and the hope is expressed by the au thors that this concise work will serve a useful purpose by making readily available to chemists and to engineers the procedures of applying the physical and chemical tests which are recognized as essential by technologists. Because of the significance of benzol and of benzol-gasoline mixtures as motor fuels, a chapter is devoted to the laboratory methods in use in the control of the operation of benzol-recovery plants. The Appendix contains in compact form chemical and physical data for the reference of the refinery chemist, petroleum engineer and gas engineer. The first eight Chapters of the book supplement Chapters IV, XI, XII (2, 517 - 527, in particular), and XVII of Bacon and Hamor's American Petroleum Industry, and the manual may be used, in fact, as a laboratory companion for that set. The authors request the indulgence of the user for any errors or omis sions that occur. In a work of this character, relating mainly to the chemical control of the products of several industries which cover large and progressive fields, an early revision will probably be desirable, and the authors will therefore be glad to receive any suggestions with this end in view which may be sub mitted to them.
