Hints and helpful suggestions from expert colleagues representing more than 50 different companies and institutions were taken into account and I would like to express my very grateful thanks to all concerned. Special thanks goes to the following people; without their help this book would not lay in your hands: The Bavarian translation office which took the challenge of translation this very technical handbook with elaborateness, thereby reviewing every chapter thoroughly. Geoff Holford as native speaker war particularly helpful in this process. Bill Heintz, formerly and currently working for Linde AG and briefly for PRAXAIR Inc., gave me as highly qualified US engineer very useful and important information about the technical requirements in the USA. Jos Swinnen from Belgian Praxair in Brussels made significant contributions to ensure coherency applicability in European countries. Special thanks to both gentleman for proof reading every chapter and their provision for all multinational aspects. The experienced chemist Anette Nieczo
