1 Introduction to oil chemistry
-
Merv Fingas
Abstract
This chapter is a review of petroleum chemistry, particularly as it relates to environmental issues. The traditional separation of saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltene (SARA) oil components is summarized. Further explanation of these groupings is given. A more detailed look at compounds found in oil and the amount of these common compounds is summarized. The compounds described are related to the overall composition and the SARA composition. Details of more than 500 compounds will be given in this introduction. The introduction provides a link to the various chapters in this book.
