I added chemical decomposition just so anyone not already familiar with the industry could start at a ground floor level of understanding. This article is not written to be understood by anyone who does not already understand what this is, and that isn't the purpose of wikipedia. I've seen NTU explained in a straight-forward manner without any technical language, the process itself. That's what this article should strive for: explaining this to its target audience. That's my opinion. -- 69.226.103.13 ( talk) 08:29, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
This isn't quantum physics, and this isn't oilAndGasWiki, it's just English wikipedia; this article needs toned down from its excess of jargon to a directly written article that explains what this technology is.
From [1]: "Use jargon and acronyms judiciously. In addition to explaining jargon and expanding acronyms at first use, you might consider using them sparingly thereafter, or not at all."
In particular, if a reader accesses only the lead section of the article, the should come away with sthe basic concept of what the article is about, but this article opens with a definition from an insider's guide. -- 69.226.103.13 ( talk) 08:36, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
retorting, or chemical decomposition,
[2] The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview of the article. It should establish context, explain why the subject is interesting or notable, and summarize the most important pointsâincluding any notable controversies. The emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources, and the notability of the article's subject should be established in the first sentence of the lead. While consideration should be given to creating interest in reading more of the article, the lead nonetheless should not "tease" the reader by hinting atâbut not explainingâimportant facts that will appear later in the article. The lead should contain no more than four paragraphs, should be carefully sourced as appropriate, and should be written in a clear, accessible style to invite a reading of the full article.
