Coal Made OF OIL
With NeW Process,
Scientist Asserts

conference which gathered because
there is a surplus Of coal and which
has been hearing how to turn coal
into gasoline.
The creator of. the new process,
DR.. Walter Rittman, said that not
withstanding the fact that il makes
coal. the real importance is its
power TO produce more gasoline. and
that il contains also the possibility
Of converting crude petroleum en-
tirely into gasoline.
The new Rittman process uses the
waste petroleum after all the gaso-
line o~btainable by cracking has
been extracted. BY heating and run
ming this waste through pipe coils
several thousand feet long. each 200
tons Of waste changes through va
por into 300 tons Of oil that Is re-
covered for manufacture Of gaso-
line, and into 100 tons OF residue
that is coal. DR.. Rittman explained
that this coal under analysis proved
similar TO more than half a dozen
natural Goals. His process differs
from those previously used on pc
troleum waste which produced coke
instead of coal.
The coal runs aut in such LIQUID
form that he sad il has even been
pumped into &C 1 cars. there to
harden e%nroute to destination.
The process is not n laboratory
experiment, but a paying comm r
cial enterprise. Without naming the
company. Ritman said:
"As matters stand now one i'm
portant oil refinery is planning to
provide facilities TO CONVEX its
crude petroleum entirely into gaso-
line with the manufacture Of some
coal as a by product.
