Handbook of Petroleum Processing.

The wheel, without doubt, was man’s greatest invention. However until the late 18th
century and early 19th century the motivation and use of the wheel was limited either
by muscle power, man or animal, or by energy naturally occurring fromwater flowand
wind. The invention of the steam engine provided, for the first time, a motive power
independent of muscle or the natural elements. This ignited the industrial revolution
of the 19th century, with its feverish hunt for fossil fuels to generate the steam. It also
initiated the development of the mass production of steel and other commodities.
Late in the 19th century came the invention of the internal combustion engine with its
requirement for energy derived from crude oil. This, one can say, sparked the second
industrial revolution, with the establishment of the industrial scene of today and its
continuing development. The petroleum products from the crude oil used initially for
the energy required by the internal combustion engine, have mushroomed to become
the basis and source of some of our chemical, and pharmaceutical products.
The development of the crude oil refining industry and the internal combustion engine
have influenced each other during the 20th century. Other factors have also contributed
to accelerate the development of both. The major ones of these are the increasing
awareness of environmental contamination, and the increasing demand for faster
travel which led to the development of the aircraft industry with its need for higher
quality petroleum fuels. The purpose of this introductory chapter is to describe and
define some of the basic measures and parameters used in the petroleum refining
industry. These set the stage for the detail examination of the industry as a whole and
which are provided in subsequent chapters of this encyclopedia.
