  • Abstract
    The use of electricity in refineries has increased tremendously in the last decade; this increase can be primarily traced to: 1. Development of equipment that is suitable for use in refinery atmospheres. 2. Development of improved mechanical equipment. 3. Development of generating equipment of industrial size having suitable operating economies. 4. General advance in the engineering arts. 5. Development of increasingly complex refinery processes.
