erational benefits. This article provides detailed analysis on the
wastes that are often encountered in the steam distribution system
and offers suggestions for conserving steam in the refinery.
Cracking heavy hydrocarbons in the presence of catalyst
I. Ginsberg, November 1926
Our article is concerned with a discussion of certain results
that were obtained in the cracking of heavy hydrocarbons, mineral
oils, mineral oil residues, ozocerite and the like into lower
boiling products by heating them to the boiling point in the presence
of activated charcoal and other catalysts.
Corrosion-An economical refinery problem
H. F. Perkins, January 1927
Only within the last few years have we been informed of the
real mechanism of corrosion, and we are now ready to study
each case of corrosion individually based on this information
and depart from empirical methods.
Centrifugal vs. reciprocating pumps for refinery service
W. R. Layne, March 1927
This work provides a detailed comparison of two pump types:
centrifugal and reciprocating. The best economy will be considered
that results in the lowest total cost of pumping per barrel.
Refining capacity shifting to integrated companies
G. Reid, June 1927
The use of solvents for dewaxing paraffin-base crude oil
H. M. Smith, October 1927
A method utilizing solvents for the purpose of separating
and removing waxy material is described in this article, together
with preliminary experiments with solvents that led to its development.
The solvents used are secondary butyl alcohol, acetone
and mixtures of these, as well as isopropyl alcohol.
Using chemicals protects distillation equipment
against corrosion
G. Egloff and J. C. Morrell, December 1927
The economic losses due to corrosion are high. This article
considers the injection of chemicals into refinery equipment
to neutralize the corrosive substances resulting from the atmospheric
and super atmospheric distillation of petroleum oils.
Clays and their application in refining
G. W. Cupit, April 1928
The various benefits of using clays in petroleum refining are
discussed in this article.
Automatic control equipment in the modern refinery
C. B. Faught and F. R. Staley, May 1928
A surprisingly large percentage of the total operations in a
modern refinery are still classed as manual. However, increasing
automatic control on equipment can optimize refinery
throughput and efficiency.
Methods of testing gasoline for anti-knock properties
July 1928
This table, provided by H. G. Koehler of the Research Labo60

ratories of the Universal Oil Products Co., provide data relative to
the various methods of testing gasoline for anti-knock properties.
The plant manager's part in accident prevention
C. W. Price, August 1928
There are three qualifications that are indispensable to a manager
who would successfully promote safety at the plant. The
plant manager must:
1. Believe in safety as a good business proposition
2. Believe in safety wholeheartedly and express those same
principles to the plant workforce
3. Not only initiate a safety campaign but must
continuously associate with safety activities.
Natural gasoline outlook brighter: Expansion in
cracking facilities indicates large demand and
improved market for 1929
H. J. Struth, February 1929
Gasoline plant gathering system design
J. C. Bolinger, April 1929
In the design of pipelines for the transmission of gas, it is
necessary to make use of some formula expressing the relations
to each other of the quantity, initial and final pressures, diameter
and length of line.
Special precautions for handling sulfur crudes
at refineries
D. G. Cooper, May 1929
In handling sulfur crudes, hazards to personal safety and
severe corrosion of equipment are encountered. Since these
hazards exist in nearly all phases of the handling of crudes the
utmost care in procedure must be followed.
Is present gasoline storage capacity adequate
to best serve the industry?
H. C. Charles, June 1929
Few big companies dominate refinery capacity
G. Reid, July 1929
Nineteen companies control 75% of the total crude capacity
and 80% of cracking facilities in the U.S.
The manufacture of commercial anhydrous
aluminum chloride
A. M. McAfee, August 1929
For the first time, in this article, are the details of the aluminum
chloride process made public.
Natural gasoline industry expansion slowing down
November 1929
