NEW SULPHUR
PLANT OPENS
Tidewater Places Sth Manu-
featuring Unit in Opera
tiOn at Delaware City
THREE UNITS TO GO

Enough molten sulphur to fill
eight tank cars can be produced
each day at the sulfur recovery
plant, latest unit to be placed in
operation at Tidewater Oil Com
pany's Delaware refinery, south
of Wilmington.
The sulfur plant is the eighth
manufacturing unit to go "on
stream" at the 10000 barrel-a-
day refinery. Three more, still un-
der construction, are slated to be
finished within the next few
months.
Designed by Ralph NJ. Parsons
Company, the sulfur unit can
produce up to $40 long tons of
elemental sulfur a day. In solid
form, this is enough to make a
block 80 feet long, 20 feet wide
and 10 feet high.
Sulfur is naturally present in
crude oil, refinery officials ex-
planned, and must be removed in
order to produce the highest grade
gasolines and petroleum products.
At the Delaware Refinery sulfur
removed by the hydrodesulfuriza-
tion plant is recovered in the gas
plant in the form of hydrogen
sulfde gas for subsequent con-
version to elemental sulfur.
At one time hydrogen sulfide
was considered a waste product
