Stump Urges More
Youth Training

LAKESIDE-The need for more
spiritual guidance and religious
training for our young people is
the greatest challenge confronting
churches today, Dale Stump,
prominent Columbus attorney,
declared here today in an address
at the annual meeting of the North
East Ohio Conference of the
Methodist Church.
Mr.. Stump, one of Ohio'S most
active church laymen, called spe-
cifcally for Methodists TO expand
their Wesley Foundations programs
through which the church works
with students at the five state
universities in Ohio.
"Our college and university
students today will be tomorrow's
leaders," Mr.. Stump said. "We
must not neglect their religious
training.
"The world of tomorrow will
hold even more challenge for
Christianity than it holds today
MI. Stump said. "If civilization
is to meet these challenges, the
Church must exert q vital, spiri-
tual influence on family life, on
community affairs and on the po-
litical and social life of our state
our country and our world.
IF we are to have the kind OF
Christian leadership needed fol
the world tomorrow, we must
start developing our youth into
leaders who appreciate the value
and understand the power of re.
ligion."
Mr.. Stump pointed out that the
State-supported universities can
not, themselves, provide religion;
training because of constitutions
limitations.
1--WE have enrolled in our 81
colleges in Ohio today a total OF
l17,395 Students" Mr.. Stump said
Nearly one-fourth of these stu
dents are Methodists, so the chal
lenge facing the Methodist Church
is tremendous in its size ano
scope.
There is one encouraging not,
however. All faiths and denomi
nations, including the Methodists
are beginning to recognize theil
responsibilities to college student,
and are beginning to develoJ
sound religious training program
at our colleges and universities.

Laurel Refinery
Story In Oil Journal

Continued from Page One)
nelley cracker was converted to
embody the principles of the
single coil UOP thermal crack
ing unit design, using existing
equipment as far as possible. A
forged steel reaction chamber
was installed. New equipment
included a flash chamber, frac-
tionating tower, stabilizer, abb
sorber, residuum cooler and con-
denser coils. Alloy steel was
used in all hot lines.
The cracking facilities were
designed by UOP and provision
was made for later conversion to
2-coil operation. The new facili-
ties went into operation in 1896.
In 1888 the conversion was
made. A new UOP updraft
heater was installed for heavy
oil and the existing heater was
adapted to light oil service.
These changes increased the
capacity of the cracking unit to
about $500 BID.
POIymerizatbon Added
To recover valuable hydrocar-
bons from the cracked gas, a
UOP catalytic polymerization
unit was installed in 1941. This
was designed to produce 70 BID
of polymer gasoline. The high
sulfur content of the stocks
~necessitated extensive pretreat-
ing equipment for the poly unit
feed, including a TIP unit for
HIS removal, caustic prewash
and regenerative caustic wash.
AS the capacity of the refinery
grew, demand for additional
steam became imperative. An
economizer, installed in the
breeching above the convection
section of the heavy oil heater
UOP's recommendation,
provided the equivalent of add
ing 100 hp to our plant and
made the purchase of a new
boiler unnecessary.
In 1912, a new cracking plant
stabilizer was installed and the
heavy hot oil pump was replaced
by a new centrifugal pump. Later
the old stabilizer was adapted to
remove HIS and propane from
straight run gasoline. The re-
vamped plant went into opera
ton in 1913.
Acquired In 1913
1t was in that same year that
we acquired the refinery. Being
in accord with the expansion and
modernization program, we con-
tinued to work with UPO and
planned extensive revamping of
the thermal cracker.
Part of this work was finish
ed in 1945, including the installa-
ton of a new UOP upshot heavy
oil heater and a fractionating
alloy lined. The heater
previously used for heavy oil
was placed in light oil service
and a new centrifugal light oil
pump was installed. The pro-
gram was completed in 1916
with the installation of a new
alloy-lined flash chamber and a
second reaction chamber to oper-
ate in series with chamber No. l..
The existing chamber was adapt
ed to use as q residuum strip
per.
This raised the cracking capac-

ity of the cracker to about 5000
BID and gave us considerable flex-
Utility. The unit is able to crack
topped crude or to charge crude
directly to the fractionating tow
er. Straight run gasoline can
also be charged as reflux to the
fractionating tower. In these
latter two operations the straight
run gasoline is depropanized and
HIS is also removed. This type
of operation increased butane re-
covery which in turn increases
yield and octane rating of the
combined gasoline.
At the same time the capacity

amount of gas produced in the

Universal has rendered valua-
bic service through the years,

plant equipment, and assisting in
revamping other refining facili-
ties which did not pertain to
their licensed processes. In addi-
ton, we have depended to a con-
siderable extent upon the re-
results of work done in UOP's
Riverside laboratories, such as
analyses of crudes, yield break
ups, etc.
