It's definately a MUST READ! David Morris, SPHR.........Director Human Resources Good for basics, sometimes too simple, July 11, 2000 Reviewer: Christian Kupper from Zug Schweiz This is a very good publication for anybody who wants to understand the basics of refining without too much chemistry or engineering details. Easy to understand, but sometime I would wish for a deeper discussion of the issues and problems. It is a MUST for nontechnical staff in refineries (eg. finance) and it gives enough background for good discussion with engineers.
