Fabian,

Minutes of a meeting among representatives of Scholven, Leuna, and the Uhde engineering company at Leuna to discuss some details of the proposed T-52 installation at Scholven are presented. Gas blowers, compressors, gas containers, drying of gases, cranes, requirements for fresh water and cooling water, catalyst storage and transport, polymerization step, over-all plant layout, etc., for the T-52 installations, are discussed. One of the situations discussed (concerning the step of hydrogenation of the polymerized butylenes) is the fact that a separate distillation column is necessary to remove the tetramer from the mixture to be processed. The tetramer had been shown to damage catalysts, so it had to be separated out before processing, or there was need for more frequent changes of catalyst. Also, it was important to remove the tetramer from aviation gasoline to avoid damages. Also, there was discussion of the volumes of gases which would have to be handled in the hydrogenation oven. Ordinarily, 3.9 m/sup 3/ of polymerisate and 8,000 times that much gas, 31,200 m/sup 3/, were introduced into each oven per hour. The amount of circulating gas regulated the temperature of the oven, so there was need for extra inlets of gas into each oven.
