 1364.    HASKELL, G.  Research Plans in Synthesis Process of the United States Industrial Chemicals, Inc.  Oil Gas Jour., vol. 46, No. 37, 1948, p. 111.

       U. S. Industrial Chemicals, Inc., is cooperating with Stanolind Oil & Gas Co. in investigating the separation and use of chemical products from the hydrocarbon synthesis process.  The processing materials will be obtained from the 2 hydrocarbon-synthesis plants now under construction by the Carthage Hydrocol, Inc., at Brownsville, Tex., and for the Stanolind Oil & Gas Co. at Hugoton, Kan.; and from the 2 auxiliary chemical plants projected by the latter.  In a plant of its own the U. S. Industrial Chemicals, Inc., will process the primary chemicals from the auxiliary chemical plants.  The process will involve the breaking down of the water-soluble chemicals to yield initially upwards of 300 million lb. per yr. of chemicals including solvents, plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, plastics, etc., at prices competitive with those from other sources.
