Reasons for creating special accounting stations in hydrogenation

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6675928
Economic considerations in the early years of hydrogenation were postponed until some actual production had started. Shortly after the initial difficulties had been overcome, the economic study became important to discover the different sources of losses and to find ways of increasing the yields. The accounting stations were arranged according to plans and the operating results were reported monthly as Hilburg Reports to produce a picture of the general stage of development. To be able to observe and regulate costs, their progress, and especially the costs of repairs, short time balances were calculated every ten days--the so-called Decade Accounts. The major topics discussed in detail in this report were: accounting tasks in hydrogenation with supervision of operating costs, evaluation of the intermediates, relationships between costs and volume of production, precalculations, operational relationships, determining the basis of design, and discussions and other tasks; working methods including statistics, calculations of interrelationships, and trying in post-auditing with precalculations; organization of work and results; and subsequent developments. 12 diagrams, 6 tables.
