•  API oil-water separator: A device for removing oil from industrial wastewaters. ^[e]
•  Aqueous Wastes from Petroleum and Petrochemical Plants: A book about the composition and treatment of the wastewater streams produced in the hydrocarbon processing industries (i.e., petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants and natural gas processing plants). ^[e]
•  Bar (unit): A unit of pressure measurement (symbol: bar) defined as 100,000 Pascals. ^[e]
•  Catalytic reforming: A catalytic chemical process that converts petroleum naphthas into high-octane gasoline components. ^[e]
•  Chemical engineering: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products ^[e]
•  Compressibility factor (gases): A thermodynamic property for modifying the ideal gas law to account for behavior of real gases. ^[e]

•  Environmental engineering: A field of engineering devoted to remediation of all forms of pollution. ^[e]
•  U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: An agency of the federal government of the United States of America whose mission is to protect human health and safeguard the natural environment (air, water and land) of the nation ^[e]
•  Fenske equation: An equation for calculating the minimum number of theoretical plates needed to separate a binary feed stream by a fractionation column operated at total reflux (i.e., meaning that no overhead product is being withdrawn from the column). ^[e]
•  Flue gas desulfurization: The technology for removing sulfur dioxide from the flue gases resulting from the combustion of coal or fuel oil in power plant steam generators or other large combustion sources. ^[e]
•  Flue gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion: Discussion and listing of the comparative amounts of flue gas (exhaust gas) generated by the combustion of coal, fuel oil and natural gas. ^[e]
•  Flue gas stack: A vertical pipe, channel or chimney (also referred to as a smokestack) through which combustion product gases (flue gases) are exhausted to the atmosphere. Includes the draft (draught) effect of hot gases flowing through tall stacks (chimneys). ^[e]
•  Fluid catalytic cracking: A petroleum refining process that cracks the large hydrocarbon molecules in the portion of the petroleum crude oil boiling above 340 °C into lower boiling, more valuable high octane gasoline and olefinic gases. ^[e]
•  Fundamentals of Stack Gas Dispersion: The fourth edition of a book, first published in 1979, about the basic fundamentals of the dispersion modeling of continuous, buoyant air pollution plumes. ^[e]
•  Gas: One of the major states of matter (i.e., gas, liquid, solid and plasma). ^[e]
•  Henry's law: The relationship between the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid and the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. ^[e]
•  Hydrocarbon dew point: The temperature (at a given pressure) at which the hydrocarbon components of any hydrocarbon-rich gas mixture (such as natural gas) will start to condense out of the gaseous phase. ^[e]
•  Hydrodesulfurization: A catalytic chemical process used in petroleum refining to remove sulphur compounds from intermediate and refined end-products. ^[e]
•  Ideal gas law: Relates pressure, volume and temperature for hypothetical gases of atoms or molecules with negligible intermolecular forces. ^[e]
•  Industrial cooling tower: Heat rejection systems used primarily to provide circulating cooling water in large industrial facilities. ^[e]
•  Joule-Thomson effect: The increase or decrease in the temperature of a real gas (as differentiated from an ideal gas) when it is allowed to expand freely at constant enthalpy (meaning that no heat is transferred to or from the gas, and no external work is extracted from the gas). ^[e]
