Fabian,

A meeting between representatives of Scholven and of Bamag-Meguin, which was apparently the company which would build the wash-oil installation, is briefly reported. The installation's purpose was to purify gas mixtures by washing some components out by use of an oil as a washing medium. The particular installation at Scholven was to be designed for 3600 m/sup 3/ per hour of gas, but to be guaranteed to handle at least 2750 m/sup 3//hr. The gas to be processed consisted of 50% to 54% hydrogen, 9% to 10% methane, 1% to 3% ethane or ethylene, 9% to 10% 3-carbon gases, and 25% to 30% 4-carbon gases; about 80% to 90% of the 4-carbon gases was isobutane and about 10% to 20% was isobutylene. As wash oil, there was chosen a certain middle oil with 200/sup 0/C as the beginning of its boiling range. The oil wash was supposed to lower hydrogen gas level in the product to less than 1% and to leave practically no 4-carbon gases in the residual gas.
