Increased Efficiency Imperative x TR. H. H. HILL, Chemical Engineer of the Bureau of Mines, in discussing the future of gasoline, says: “It is up to the. refiners to extract more of petroleum’s useful factors from the crude.” This he says can be -effected through efficient management and by improved methods of cracking and blending; Mr. Hill thus expresses the opinion which has dominated the policy of the Standard' Oil Company (Indiana) for many years and has enabled . this Company to raise its efficiency peak year after year. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a leader in developing processes to increase the yield of gasoline from crude oil. The best known and most successful of its improvements iS the Burton process, originated in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Speaking of the Burton Process, Mr. HUI says that “since it was first installed on a commercial scale it has produced approximately 40 million barrels of gasoline from heavy distillates, and has thus saved approximately 150 bullion barrels of crude that would have been necessary to produce an equivalent amount df gasoline.” This vast saving has been accomplished without sacrificing quality. Red Crown, the motor gasoline, made and sold by the’ Standard Oil Company (Indiana), is acknowledged by petroleum chemists and other authorities to be the standard fuel for motor cars. It more thaw meets Government specifications, which require an initial of not more than 140 degrees F; 20 percent off at 221 degrees; 50 percent off at 284 degrees; 90 percent off at 374 degrees; and a dry point (complete vaporization) at not more than 437 degrees F. During the semi-annual test conducted in July 1920, the average for Red Crown Gasoline showed an initial of 102 degrees F; 20 percent off at 210; 50 percent off at 281; 90 percent off at 387, and a dry point of 427 degrees F. This shows an initial 38 degrees better than Government spedficaticns, which means easy starting; 20 perlent off at 11 degrees better than Government specifications; 50 percent off at 3 degrees better than Government specifications; and 90 per cent off 13 degrees higher than Government specifications, which is more than made up by the 10 degrees difference in dry point. This proves that, notwithstanding the greatly increased quantity,* of gasoline which this Company is able to take from the crude, it has in no way sacrificed quality, and is x », ■ another indication that the large scale operations of this . Company have worked to the distinct advantage of every user of gasoline. Standard Oil Company ——-—■ ■ — - (IndiatM) 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago 2827
