Asphalt Demand
Rises Sharply,
Survey Shows

Tulsa-Demand for asphalt is
expected to outstrip other petro-
leum products on percentage
basis in 1855, according to a sur
vey by The Oil & Gas Journal.
Demand the first quarter of
this year rose to 116,7OO barrels
per day, 10 per cent above the
1854 period, it was stated. This
year is seen as the beginning of at
least a decade of steadily increas-
ing demand for the material.
The forecast is based on two fac
tors-growing needs for conven-
tional applications and new poten-
tial users.
The first quarter jump in demand
is considered particularly signifi-
cant in view of the fact road main
tenance and construction were
scarcely underway. By the end of
the year, daily demand may have
been boosted to a 24O,OOO-barrel
average.
Paving demands for asphalt are
surging upward. In 1853, 65.3 per
cent of all asphalt went into sur
facing of highways, airports, park
ing areas, driveways, and similar
uses. Figures for 1854 are incom-
plete, but best estimates are that
70 per cent (53.5 million barrels) of
all asphalt went for paving. Adding
over 7 million barrels of road oil,
the total paving program last year
exceeded so million barrels.
Highway maintenance alone is
expected to absorb 80 million bar
rels annually the next 10 years and
the rapid deterioration of roads
may raise this sui .antially
Another outlet &C ,idered to have
high potential is sterilization.
Cracked asphalt fri ions show SUI
perior coating cha acteristics for
soil and dusty az rr-egates in build
ing roadbeds. Sterilization of rail-
road bed and hydraulic uses, in
water conservation, irrigation and
beach erosion, are thought to have
major potential. These markets
have securely been tapped.
Outlets to watch the Journal
says, are the miscellaneous" ones.
Principal end uses in this category

Sun Introduces
New Gasoline

Philadelphia-Sun Oil Company
has announced the introduction of
new gasoline, its second in less
than Is months.
Robert G. Dunlop, president, said
new automobile engines and the
necessity of offsetting increased
costs in producing the higher
quality motor fuels they require
had run up a s25,OO0,OOO bill for
Sun Oil Company in that period.
That is the amount spent for new
plants and facilities directly re-
lated to improved quality and lower
manufacturing costs completed
since April, 1854, when Sun last
introduced new gasoline.
Among the new facilities are two
Houdriflow catalytic crackers, one
located at Suns Marcus Hook, Pa,
refinery and the other at its re-
finery in Toledo, Ohio. Standing as
high as a 35-story building and
each having a capacity of 10000
barrels day, they are the largest
units of their type in the world.
Together with auxiliary facilities
they cost $40, 100000.
Another important new facility
is $4,500,OO0 Houdriformer (cata-
lytic reforming) plant nearing COM
pletion at Marcus Hook. A catalytic
unit with $4,000 barrels a day
capacity, it will be on stream pro-
ducing high octane gasoline COM
ponents next month.
Both Houdriflow plants ard the
Houdriformer were engineered by
Houdry Process Corporation and
Sun Oil Company and all three
were constructed by Catalytic Con-
struction Company. The new units
further increase Suns lead in
catalytic capacity over other oil
companies. according to Mr.. Dun
lop.
While improving its gasoline
making facilities, Sun also has
built up its plants and equipment
in other respects, Mr.. Dunlop re-
ported.
Within recent months it COM
pleted a new research and de-
velopment laboratory costing ST.
100, 900 at Marcus Hook.
Also at Marcus Hook it has under
construction an ammonia plant,
estimated to cost 100000. Re-
Gently completed new tankage cost
81 300, 900. And the modernization
and construction of Sunoco service
stations within the past Is months
cost $10,6OO,OOO.
The company's transportation
facilities were improved during the
same period by the acquisition of a
new supertanker, with a second
10000 lightweight ton tanker sche-
duled to join the fleet next month.
Each reprensents an investment Of
$7,800,OOO.
Mr.. Dunlop described the invest
ments, for which all funds came
from sources within the company,
as characteristic" of SUMS con-
tinuing program of modernization
and expansion.
For 1866, he said, the company
has scheduled capital expenditures
Of $75,6OO,000, compared with $64,-
100000 in 1854. In addition, the
company will put approximately
500, 600, 900 into the search for new
sources of crude oil, bringing the
total expenditure for the year to
some 1O8,60O,0OO.
