Basic book, video tutrial on petroleum refinery process?
(OP)
I'm on a learning process here in a petroleum refinery. I'm very new to this. Can somebody suggest a good basic book on petroleum refinery process? If there's a book on petroleum refining for non-technical people that would be a good start for me. Also a dvd tutorial , if there are any, would be a plus. Thanks in advance.

James H. Gary and Glenn E. Handwerk, "Petroleum Refining Technology and Economics", Second Edition, Marcel Dekker Inc., 1984, ISBN 0-8247-7150-8

I studied with Professor Nelson and his "Petroleum Refinery Engineering" (4th edition, McGraw-Hill, 1958) is the definitive work on the subject, but it may contain more detail than newcomers can handle.
Also, look for "Petroleum Processing Handbook" by Bland and Davidson (McGraw-Hill, 1967) for explanations in a nutshell for a wide variety of processes. This also has an excellent section on light hydrocarbon and petroleum fraction physical and transport properties. Finally, there is a vast list of references, a bit dated of course.
