WP has an article of the same name

Wikipedia has an article of the same name. This article was completely written from scratch ... altho it may have a few words or even a few sentences that are the same as in the WP article. Milton Beychok 20:38, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Conversions

In this part:

1 metric ton (MT) = 1 tonne = 1,000 kg = 2,204.6 pound = 1.1023 short ton (ton)

If a short ton is 1,000 pounds as indicated further down in the article, shouldn't this be 2.204.6 short tons? Is the short ton supposed to be 2000 pounds? David E. Volk 14:22, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

distillation

Milt, could you give more detail regarding the distillation process? Is the methane distilled away from the ethane, propane, butane because it has a lower boiling point? Or are the methane, ethane, propane and butane all distilled together away from the other gases, for example, leaving behind any pentanes, heptanes, hexanes, grease etc. David E.
