Technical Report · Sun Oct 31 00:00:00 EDT 1943

OSTI ID:6502340

The operating characteristics and lifetimes of many pieces of apparatus in the two plants were compared. The apparatus discussed included valves, packings, and pumps as well as larger pieces of apparatus. The larger apparatus included the gas circulation system, the hot separator, the hot circulation system, the hot-oil-letdown system and water cooler, emergency decompression system, preheater hairpin tubes, middle-oil-injection system, coal-paste injection system, phenol-water system, product-decompression system, wash-oil system, carbon--monoxide and carbon--dioxide wash systems, and compression systems. The machine shops and worker-training facilities at Poelitz are considered. In many cases, Poelitz and Gelsenberg were having essentially the same experiences, but in some cases one plant or the other clearly had a better arrangement, and these cases were discussed. An appendix to the report compared the number of workers in various grades employed by the two plants. Poelitz had a considerably greater number of workers in each category.
