SCRAPE FOR SCRAP

Discovery of this idle equipment
in the petroleum industry didn t
just happen. 1t was an organized
search Three months ago, the Oh
flee of the Petroleum Co-ordiha-
tor put up to the petroleum In
dustry War Council, which is the
fancy-named trade association OF
the big shot oil company eXecu-
tiyes, the question Of whether the
refineries could make butadiene in
existing cracking units and stills
Some 1000 questionnaireS went out
and about the same number OF re-
ports came back. Technical experts
were put on this job, pilot plants
were built, and in each of the re-
filming areas, every piece OF re-
finery equipment in use and idle,
was catalogued Two requirements
were laid doWn-that the butadiene
plants be made from existing equip
ment and that they get in opera
ton by the end of the year.
After a couple Of months of
this prelim IN mary research,
Wright Gary was sent on his
junket 10 inspect the refinery
junk i'm every one Of the refin-
ing areas. lie Travelled for
mOnth-and look what he
found.
The raw materials that will 90
into this butadiene production are
distressed gasoline for which there
is now no market, and butane, a
refinery by-product gas. And not
only will butadiene be produced,
but also toluene for TINT explosives,
benzol for aviation gas styrene for
synthetic Buna S rubber. and iso-
butylene, the raw material used in
the making Of the new "bathtub"
or butyl rubber.

HAVE AUTHORITIES
MAKE INVESTIGATION

OF course, there is good reason
to suspect some people But if there
is good reason, the person who su-
spects them shouldn't waste his
time in gossip. He should report
what he knows and let those
whose business it is to check up on
such people, find out whether or
not they are dangerous.
If he hasn't anything to report,
then he ought to keep still.
And it is up to every person who
hears such gossip to try to put
stop to it.
Politeness shouldn't keep us from
saying to the gossipers, Put up

Over and over, women who are
worried by baby-f fine hair and other
locks which seem to be hard to
give a good permanent, ask,
Where shall I go for perman-
ent for my hair?' and How can
I be sure that my permanent will

answers, and the first one is: the

right to expect your cooperation

CAPITAL TALKS
by

Edison

You never know what you'll find
till you start to look for it, and that
applies particularly to the collec-
ton of Junk in wartime Take the
experience of Wright w Gary, for
instance. Mr.. Gary is director of
refining in Harold Ickes fancy
named Office OF the Petroleum Co.
ordinator for War, known for short
as OPC. Mr.. Gary has just return
ed to Washington from a months
tour of US. oil refinerieS, and he
has found, of all things, existing,
idle refinery equipment which can
be assembled in some 80 different
refinery areas and by the end OF
the year be put to producing 200,-
600 tons of butadiene a year.
Now this is important news.
Butadiene, you'll recall, is the
essential raw material that goes
into synthetic rubber. Mix ap-
proximately 80 per cent buta-
diene with 20 per cent styrene,
let 'em polymerize, which is the
fancy chemical name for build

Der comes out here.
The governments synthetic rub
Der program calls for the manu-
facture of Buna S synthetic rubber
of it to be made from petroleum
products. To produce the butadiene
going into this Buna S rubber, the
Rubber Reserve Company has let

POSSIBILITIES PROBED

The building of these plants re-
ouires a lot of critical materials,
particularly copper and steel. In
fact, big part of the drawback
in expanding the synthetic rubber
program has been the scarcity OF
critical materials for the plants.
Wright Garys discoveries OF suit
able butadiene refinery equipment
already in existence are import
ant. therefore, because they show
that about 80 per cent of this 63o,-
OOO-ton productive capacity may
rot have to be built, or that buta-
diene can be produced sooner than
had been hoped, or that the buta-
diene and synthetic rubber pro-
grams can be expanded, or that 3O
per cent of the critical materials
scheduled to go into the butadlene
plants can be diverted to some
thing else. Gary's report makes II
clear that this old equipment is not
100 per cent complete for use as
is But he estimates that it is 80
per cent complete, and will require
only 10 per cent more critical ma
terials to put it into operation.
Putting this equipment into
operation simply requires that
the refineries which now have
the idle units swap among
themselves or pool spare parts
i'm such a way that complete
plants can assembled.
The moral of this virtual finding
of 100000 tons annual butadiene
productive capacity is exactly the
point that Henry j. Kaiser makes
when he says he can tool up his
shipyard for the manufacture OF
cargo planes b. improvising, by
picking up idle machines from all
over the country and putting them
to work.
