Varied information is included on the operations of the following plants: Leuna, Scholven, Boehlen, Magdeburg, Welheim, Gelsenberg, Zeitz, Luetzkendorf, Poelitz, Bruex, Wesseling, and Blechhammer. The information given includes: production of aviation gasoline, diesel oil, and fuel gas; production methods with numbers of stalls, raw materials, and pressures; difficulties encountered; hydrogen production coupled with ammonia and methanol synthesis; power generation; production of by-products, such as alkylates, sulfur, and nitrogen; power and fuel gas requirements; and production capacities. Some of the production capacities in 1940 were: (1) Leuna, 600,000 tons/yr automobile gasoline; (2) Scholven, 210,000 tons/yr aviation fuel and 25,000 tons/yr fuel gas; (3) Boehlen and Magdeburg, 120,000 tons/yr automobile gasoline, 120,000 tons/yr diesel oil, and 180,000 tons/yr aviation gasoline; (4) Welheim, 36,000 tons/yr aviation gasoline and 84,000 tons/yr fuel oil; (5) Gelsenberg, 340,000 tons/yr aviation gasoline and 70,000 tons/yr fuel gas; (6) Zeitz, 100,000 tons/yr motor gasoline, 170,000 tons/yr diesel oil, 25,000 tons/yr paraffin, and 15,000 tons/yr lubricating oil; (7) Luetzkendorf, 10,000 tons/yr diesel oil; (8) Poelitz, 200,000 tons/yr aviation gasoline, and 150,000 tons/yr high test gasoline; (9) Burex, expected production of 300,000 tons/yr automobile gasoline and 300,000 tons/yr aviation gasoline; (10) Wesseling, 45,000 tons/yr motor gasoline and 60,000 tons/yr diesel gasoline; and (11) Blechhammer, 240,000 tons/yr aviation gasoline, 260,000 tons/yr fuel oil, and 60,000 tons/yr fuel gas.
