Talk page for: Chemical plant

Although I did not start Wikipedia (WP) article "Chemical plant", I wrote almost all of it myself. When I first came across the article, it was just a short stub. Since I wrote practically the whole article myself just the way I wanted to, of course I think it's written about as well as it could be; otherwise I would have written it differently. In this sense, I'm biased about how it's written. I wrote it in a fairly simple way so the average non-technical guy can understand it, and yet it mentions practically all the main fundamental points I want to mention. It would be ridiculous for me to rewrite an article that I mostly consider about as well written as it could be just to make it different for Citizendium (CZ). Since I wrote it, a few people have added a few things, and these additions are mostly good edits that I agree with. I would rather transfer those edits over to CZ as they are. Nevertheless, I am making a few edits that introduce some differences between the WP (as of Nov. 21, 2009) and future CZ versions. Besides the WP-specific categories, foreign language links, and "See also" section taken out of the WP version for CZ, these differences are listed here:

• took out image(s) not present in CZ
• reorganized/clarified parts of the introductory section
• moved a couple sentences from intro to a new subsection called "Location"
• mentioned stirred tank reactors in CZ version
• mentioned lagging in CZ version
• mentioned demonstration plants in CZ version
• mentioned operating procedures in CZ version
• some other minor rewording
• I may add something about hazards at chemical plants
• perhaps look for a reference to add some day (I have to find it.)
• I will look for a picture or two already present in CZ to add.
