2525.     ---------------.  [OIL AND GAS JOURNAL.]  Refinery to Be Rebuilt.  Vol. 49, No. 48, 1951, p. 69.

        Reconstruction and expansion into a modern refinery of the war-damaged facilities of Ruhrchemie A.-G. at Oberhausen-Holten has been approved.  The new plant will be built around existing distillation and cracking units, and a reformer will be added for improving motor-fuel quality.  The completed plant will be able to process about 5,000 bbl. per day, with a cracking capacity of about 2,000 bbl.  Koch Engineering Co. of Wichita, Kans., is to build the cracking plant.  Another project is the new plant of about 2,000 bbl. per day capacity to be erected at Muelheim on Ruhr by Braunkohle Benzin A.-G. and the Stinnes group.  Parts of a shut-down shale-oil retorting plant at Balingen in Wuerttemberg will be used.  It is planned to add possibly another 2,000 bbl. per day capacity, as well as cracking units.
