Help with a name

Recommended Posts

After a long lay off from FSX I'm getting back into flying. I decide to overfly some of the higher areas of the USA, I've been over Yellowstone, Yosemite and Pikes Peak. Wyoming seemed to have high ground to look over so I started a flight from the intriguingly named Gt. Green River Inter Galactic 48U and landed at Kastler Compressor Station UT11 in Utah.

 

I found out how Greater Green River came to be inter galactic but I can't find any information on Kastler i.e. what was compressed there and why?

 

I'd be grateful for any info any body might have.

 

Thanks

Don't know how helpful this is:

The Kastler Compressor Station compresses natural gas for injection and delivery into a natural gas reservoir.

Six reciprocating internal combustion engines and three gas turbines are used to drive nine compressors in the

station. Natural gas is the fuel source for the engines and turbines. The station also includes the Clay Basin

Dew Point (CBDP) Process Unit. The CBDP process unit receives and processes natural gas from a storage

reservoir and from the main lines. The CBDP process unit includes an ethylene glycol regenerator, liquid

hydrocarbon loading rack, and miscellaneous process stream equipment. The Kastler Compressor Station is a

major source of NOx, CO, and VOC and is subject to 40 CFR 60 Subpart A-General Provisions, 40 CFR 60

Subpart GG-Standards of Performance for Stationary Gas Turbines, 40 CFR 60 Subpart KKK-Standards of

Performance for Equipment Leaks of VOC From Onshore Natural Gas Processing Plants, 40 CFR 63 Subpart

A-General Provisions, 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ-National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for

Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines, and 40 CFR 63 Subpart CCCCCC-National Emission

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities

Dear Mr Zippy,

 

Thanks for researching my question, my curiosity is satisfied.

I'm going to keep on exploring this area, today I'll try the alliterative Deadwood Dam ID86 to

the charmingly named Treasure Gulch 22ID.

 

Thanks again,

 

Peter

You might be interested in Deadwood's history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadwood,_South_Dakota

 

Been there a coupe times myself. Pretty cool rustic gambling town. It kinda reminds me of Central City, CO. Also a gambling town. It was called Central City because according to a casino owner I talked to Colorado's capital was going to be Central City. Today it's in Pueblo.

 

Other tidbits. Colorado is called the "Centennial State" because this state was founded in 1876. One hundred years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 1876 is 11 yeas AFTER the American Civil War. Or 10 years AFTER Lincoln was assassinated by a radical little idiot.

 

Edit-

 

Your location mentions the word "mare". This means sea and was the word used to describe "mares" of the moon or seas. Thus the Sea of Tranquility et al. Back then early astronomers thought those dark patches were seas...

The 'super Mare' part of the name does refer to the sea, it was named thus to distinguish it from other Westons in the Diocese of Bath and Wells.

 

I looked at the Deadwood link and unsurprisingly many of the persons named are already familiar because of our exposure to the culture and folklore of the American west. It's all to easy to forget that there is a history within the broadbrush history that the media shows us.

 

I found the notes on the climate quite interesting, it sounds like a bit of a haven compared to the surrounding country.

 

The patch of the Deadwood police looks unusual since it's formed from playing cards.

 

Thanks for the info.

Actually, the Capital of CO is Denver, not Pueblo. And, the airstrip the OP flew out of (ID86) in Post #3 is located in Idaho, not SD. :)

Alan is right. Although the state fairgrounds are in Pueblo, the 5,280 ft. elevation on the Capitol steps is right next to downtown Denver.

 

And a hint on airport naming, for the smaller ones such as ID86- the ID stands for Idaho, just as NM in NM34 means New Mexico (it's Keelin Heli-port ). However there are also many other styles, including 48V (used to be Erie Airpark, CO before an ID change) and E98 (Mid-Valley Airpark, NM) and 32IL (Village of Tams Heliport near Tamms, IL.

Oh, for god sakes. I thought it was Pueblo even though I know the capital building is in Denver. LOL!

 

Yeah, I know about the state fair in Pueblo an it's probably there for tourism and whatnot.
