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' introduces the concept of liquefied natural gas and the concept gas-to-liquids and also presents a review of the uses of gas streams and the effects of the various gases on the environment. This volume also describes the properties gas streams as they are related to corrosion effects are also presented. The relationship of the properties of gas streams as they affect corrosion such as carburization and metal dusting as well as corrosion in steel and other materials used in refinery technology are also presented and the book summarizes key findings into corrosion processes in gas-processing equipment as well as corrosion in offshore structures. Each book contains references at the end of chapter which include information from the open literature and meeting proceedings to give a picture of where the gas processing technology stands as well as indicate some relatively new technologies that could become important in the future. Also, each book also contains a comprehensive glossary. The books are written in an easy-to-read style and offer a ready-at-hand (one-stop-shopping) guide to the many issues that are related to the engineering aspects of the properties and processing of natural gas as well as the effects of natural gas on various ecosystems as well as to pollutant mitigation and clean-up. The books present an overview, with a considerable degree of detail of the various aspects of natural gas technology. Any chemistry presented in the books is used as a means of explanation of a particular point but is maintained at an elementary level.

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.
