A Practical Gas Analysis by Gas Chromatography provides a detailed overview of the most important aspects of gas analysis by gas chromatography (GC) for both the novice and expert. Authors John Swinley and Piet de Coning provide the necessary information on the selection of columns and components, thus allowing the reader to assemble custom gas analysis systems for specific needs. The book brings together a wide range of disparate literature on this technique that will fill a crucial gap for those who perform different types of research, including lab operators, separation scientists, graduate students and academic researchers. This highly practical, up-to-date reference can be consulted in the lab to guide key decisions about proper setup, hardware and software selection, calibration, analysis, and more, allowing researchers to avoid the common pitfalls caused by incorrect infrastructure. - Shows, in detail, how valve configurations work, allowing readers to understand the building blocks of extremely complex systems - Presents the complete infrastructure for setting up a gas analysis laboratory in a single source - Includes a full chapter on practical analytical systems for analyzing various gas mixtures

A unique, well-documented, and forward-thinking work, the second edition of Handbook of Natural Gas Transmission and Processing continues to present a thoroughly updated, authoritative, and comprehensive description of all major aspects of natural gas transmission and processing. It provides an ideal platform for engineers, technologists, and operations personnel working in the natural gas industry to get a better understanding of any special requirements for optimal design and operations of natural gas transmission pipelines and processing plants. First book of its kind that covers all aspects of natural gas transmission and processing Provides pivotal updates on the latest technologies, which have not been addressed in-depth in any existing books Offers practical advice for design and operation based on sound engineering principles and established techniques Examines ways to select the best processing route for optimal design of gas-processing plants Contains new discussions on process modeling, control, and optimization in gas processing industry

The present volume on National Defense has been compiled in response to a continued demand for material on this ever-importanl public question. It contains articles and references relating to general fefense, the Army, the Navy, military training, compulsory military service, and, to some extent, disarmament and alternate means of peace.--Publisher's description.
