This book brings in both the technical and practical experience of Dr. Oyekan from his decades working as a Catalytic Naphtha Reforming subject matter expert with several major refining companies. Dr. Oyekan's writing style and depth of knowledge make this book a must read for students and engineers interested in catalytic naphtha reforming. ~Gary Gianzon, Marathon Petroleum The book has a surprising amount of background on the oil industry - both upstream and downstream - including history and development. Anyone interested in the different types of refinery configurations - what they are called, why they exist, and economic factors - will be able to confidently talk about a coker refinery versus hydroskimmer with confidence after a few minutes with this book. ~Russell Brown, The Quaker Group [Catalytic Naphtha Reforming Process] is a valuable reference book to engineers and operators. Inclusion of modern petroleum refining and its economic evaluation makes this book attractive to anyone, either in academics or in industry, whose work actively involves with catalytic reforming. ~Stuart S.
