2489.     OBERFELL, G. G., AND THOMAS, R. W.  Picture for Liquefied Petroleum Gases.  Oil gas Jour., vol. 45, No. 5, 1946, pp. 60-61.

        Condensed paper presented at the annual meeting of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association.  A recent development that enters the liquefied-petroleum-gas picture is the so-called Fischer-Tropsch process, which uses natural gas as raw material for the production of heavier hydrocarbons.  The production of gasoline and other products by this method may yield sizable quantities of C₄H₁₀ and C₃H₈.  Therefore, installations of this process for the production of petroleum products are not expected to diminish the overall supply of liquefied petroleum gases.
