C.H,? 15th September, 1939 r~\ T Thank you for your letto&jaEL th* iSth.^eptacber in v&ich you advise us that It la your wish to erect a'3tky&Aivn*iia plant at your San Lorenao refinery in v'jnssuola* / / \\\\ '.' are enclosing herewith oopy of a brochure entitled "Information Concerning the Properties,..iJ^iidsg; o*ui Mixing gfjbSthyl Fluid" in which you vd.ll find complete data rQgardicg''itto^&^^rhctia anfr&tratim of such a plant, / >** JS On the Msis of blending 10,000 metric tons of gasoline par month at a uoneen-- tratioa of X t.o p-r Iwp'jrlal gallon, the quantity of Sthyl Fluid involved will be in the order^ S3! 5S-ga3tl4m arums, you will note one S5-gallon drum of Fluid contains precisely^!0,0*3 of Tetraethyl lead, A.... In designing the plant it flight be advisable to base this on the higher firure of 18,000 metric tons por month and also allow for a possible increase of lead concentration to say 2g c,o*s par gallon. Under these conditions the monthly consumption of athyl Fluid would correspond ctc^ approximately 83 55-galloa drums per month. It would certainly be advisable to d&isaMte a stock of Fluid in excess of one months consumption end in these circuxastnnoea we would advise that the storage platform should be of such a also as to accommodate say a minimum, of ICO large drums, full details of the sine of such a platform will be found on our drawing Fo, S 301, a coy of which is included in the attached brochure. In laying out the plant a think it might.also be advisable to situate it so that the storage platform could be extended should future requirements necessitate it* "e should be grateful if you could get your frlonds in '/enesuela to prepare detailed designs of the proposed blending plant and submit these to U3 for our approval. Thane drawings should indicate the actual construction of the building vhioi should be based on our drawing No, 3 301, and also its location inside tho refinery. It is necessary for the blending plant to be situated in as unobstructed position os possible in order to ensure adequate ventilation. I l o No building should bo situated within a distance of 30ft* frasas the plant. Particular attention is drawn to the diagrmaatie drawing'No, 2*300 which illus trates the points to be observed when laying out the pipe work. ,1 detailed plan of the pipe work system should, therefore, be included when?submitting the projected plans to ua for our approval* It will be necessary for us to forward to VeasyS2*ejn ;eductor set and we shall bo able to arrange this on reoeipt of a reply Teem you duotor set will be I'orwarded to Venezuela direct from Hew Yo*kr'eording to yb5j^specific shipping instructions, but It will not be raquired^til the plant is twe&rly coiupioted. Perhaps you would be kind enough to J&0 us adytssed of the progress that is made* You will ;;iso notiee in AtaBdix!4<t^.hi' attached brochure, details of the clothing and equipment which tfjUJHhe ed by the personnel operating th* plant.
