J. G. Speight Bücher

Focusing on personal narratives, the book chronicles the life of Robert Carl Milliken, a World War II Fighter Ace, through conversations spanning four years. It highlights the contributions of individuals who answered their country's call, preserving their stories from fading into obscurity. Beginning with Bob's family's arrival in Wyoming Territory, it weaves together local history with his military experiences, providing context to his actions during 68 combat missions across both the Western United States and the theaters of war in Europe and the Pacific.

Focusing on the origins of process gases, this volume explores their recovery, properties, and composition. It highlights the significant trend of shale gas production, particularly from hydrocarbon-rich deep shale formations, which is rapidly expanding in onshore domestic gas exploration.

Focusing on the intersection of environmental science and engineering, this book provides a comprehensive overview of inorganic chemistry principles as they apply to environmental issues. It covers essential topics such as the behavior of inorganic contaminants, their impact on ecosystems, and the methods used for remediation. The text is designed for engineers and environmental professionals, featuring practical applications, case studies, and problem-solving techniques to address real-world challenges in environmental management.

Focusing on refinery processes, this book provides a comprehensive overview of gas cleaning operations. It aims to meet the needs of engineers and scientists across all levels, from academic settings to practical refinery applications. By exploring the fundamental gas cleaning processes, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding the initial stages of these operations.

The book explores thermal and catalytic processes in refining, highlighting the distinctions between these methods. It delves into the various types of feedstock suitable for each process, providing a comprehensive understanding of the refining landscape.

This 3rd volume of 'Gas Engineering' explores liquefied natural gas and gas-to-liquids concepts, reviewing gas stream uses and their environmental impacts. It details properties of gas streams related to corrosion effects, including carburization and metal dusting, as well as corrosion in steel and other materials used in refinery technology. The text summarizes key findings on corrosion processes in gas-processing equipment and offshore structures. Each chapter includes references from open literature and meeting proceedings, providing insight into the current state of gas processing technology and highlighting emerging technologies. A comprehensive glossary is also included. Written in an accessible style, this volume serves as a one-stop guide to the engineering aspects of natural gas properties and processing, addressing their effects on ecosystems and pollutant mitigation. The book offers an overview with considerable detail on various natural gas technology aspects, using elementary chemistry only to clarify specific points.

Volume 2 covers the constituents of gas streams and their properties. The author presents the chemistry and engineering aspects of the methods and principles by which the gas streams might be cleaned from their noxious constituents. The concept of gas condensate is also discussed as well as the methods which can be applied to the analysis of streams and condensate. Vol. 1: Origin and Reservoir Engineering. Vol. 3: Uses of Gas and Effects.
