4 Foreword The symposium on Analysis of Waters Associated with Alternative Fuel Production was held 4-5 June 1979 in Pittsburgh, Pa. The American Society for Testing and Materials sponsored the event through its Committee D-19 on Water and its Subcommittee D19.33 on Water Associated with Synthetic Fuel Production. Presiding as chairman was L. P. Jackson, Laramie Energy Technology Center, U.S. Department of Energy, who also served as editor of this publication. C. C. Wright, Aramco, served as coeditor.
