About the Author
Dr. M. R. Riazi is a professor of chemical engineering at Kuwait University. He was previously an assistant professor at
Pennsylvania State University (USA), where he also received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. He was also a visiting professor at
the following universities: Trondheim (Norway), Illinois (Chicago, USA), Wright State (Dayton, USA), Texas (Austin, USA),
and McGill (Montreal, Canada). Dr. Riazi has been a consultant to several oil companies and research institutes in North
America, Western Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
Dr. Riazi has published about 80 technical articles mainly in the fields of petroleum and chemical technology and has
developed methods for three chapters of the API Data Book – Petroleum Refining and authored one book and four book
chapters. In addition he has presented papers to more than 50 international conferences and Canadian Oil and Gas
Review wrote about him. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology. He is also
on the Editorial Board of the Journal of ASTM International and serves as associate editor of the Journal of Petroleum Science,
Engineering and World Review of Science,Technology and Sustainable Development.
Dr. Riazi’s methods for characterization of crude oils and petroleum products have been used by oil companies and research
centers worldwide and has presented about 80 invited lectures and short courses to the petroleum industry and research
institutes in Canada, United States, United Kingdeom, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Holland, Norway, Poland, Malaysia,
India, China, Australia, Kuwait, The Middle East and North Africa.
In 1995, he was awarded a Diploma of Honor from the American (National) Petroleum Engineering Society for his outstanding
service to the petroleum industry. He was also awarded the Kuwait University outstanding research and teaching awards from the
Crown Prince of Kuwait. He is a member of AIChE and the Research Society of North America.

“ Perhaps the most comprehensive and important new text on petroleum production and processing published in many years. Numerous examples and
problems are an invaluable resource for practicing engineers and chemists, as well as University Professors.”
George E. Totten, Ph.D., G.E. Totten & Associates, LLC, Seattle, WA
“ Characterization and Properties of Petroleum Fractions” is a vital subject for engineers faced with the separations involved in the fossil fuels
industries. Originally trained to deal with binary systems, engineers face a major challenge in how to deal with many component systems. This book
addresses these problems.
Professor Philip T. Eubank, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas

“ This is an invaluable new resource for everyone involved in characterizing petroleum fractions, or the design or optimization of production and
processing units. It is a near-encyclopedic compendium of thermodynamic and physical property data on crude oil and petroleum fractions ranging from
gases to heavy residuum. More than 100 properties are discussed, and over 600 predictive methods included.’’
Harry N. Giles, U. S. Department of Energy, Washington, DC
“Characterization and Properties of Petroleum Fractions is a tremendous resource to anyone working in the area of hydrocarbon analysis, properties
estimation and process modeling. For the first time, up-to-date information and validated procedures are in one place and well- explained with concise
charts and tables, instead of spread over two decades of journal articles. This manual is a significant contribution to the petroleum industry.”
Jim McGehee, UOP, LLC, Refining Research & Development, Des Plaines, IL
“ The book written by Dr. M. R. Riazi uniquely combines hydrocarbon characterization and thermodynamics for estimation of nearly all important
thermophysical properties required in design and operation of units needed for petroleum production, processing, transportation, and storage. In addition,
the book discusses fuels quality and specifications required for marketing, distribution, safety, and environmental concerns.”
