A Text on Petro Chemicals

The chemical industry has to grow enormously to transform the present state of loathing masses suffering from economic disparity and unemployment to varied life and can be achieved through proper planning and execution. The need of engineers technical know-how and proper development of indigenous technology without thanking of the passions of unending legions of processes developed in foreign countries. A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING of the availability of resources, technical and financial constraints are all the elementary problems. It is here the modern young chemical engineers enter. This book has vast potentialities in guiding engineers connected with the development of petrochemical industries. It methodically furnishes the conversion of petroleum feedstocks to chemical and intermediates. A precocious approach has been made in this volume to convert petroleum feedstocks to chemical in TWELVE Chapters and will definitely allure the young Engineers. In the book some old statistics are replaced with the latest and it also incorporates some new developments in recent years. However in some places the old data and statistics have also been kept as such so that the students would able to judge the past history and compare the growth of the industry. I welcome all the readers to offer suggestions regarding the improvement of the text.
