Gasoline Production
Increases in Canada

Calgary, Alberta, Oct 24.-Gaso-
line production from natural gas by
the absorption method, practiced
successfully in the oil fields of the
United States, has been introduced in
Alberta and in view of the vast
natural gas deposits of the province,
promises to develop into a large in
dustry.
The Hope Engineering Company
of Ohio has installed a plant at the
Dingman natural gas wells near CAL
gary and is producing from 10 to 20
barrels a day of high-grade gaso-
line. Operations have been carried
on only two months, but the venture
is declared already to be beyond the
experimental stage.
This is the first time the absorp-
ton process of making gasoline
from natural gas has been attempted
in Canada on a commercial scale.
The method is a combination of
what is known as the horizontal and
vertical vaporizations.
