Project scope planning meeting on facilities required to maintain operations after shutdown of Chlorine held with CED on 9/20. Long delivery equipment placed on order on 9/27. Target date for complete project scope and schedule is October 28, expediting and design underway based on preliminary scope.
Plans developed and work underway for meeting 116-40*8 1969 forecast hydrogen supply without Chlorine department. Pilot plant mixed-bed adsorption unit in operation to determine feasibility of molecular sieve purification. Initial results favorable.
Staley Grade HC1 Plant Tests show need to reduce organic content prior to carbon tower treatment. Short term, an acid storage tank will be used to settle organics from carbon tower feed. Long term, a project will be sub mitted in October to install a teflon packed coalescer which will lower or ganics from 3OO+ ppm to 50 ppm.
.
PNP production of 1.72 M lbs. best since record 1.93 M in May. Reaction step continues to bottleneck rate. AFE for pressurization of charge tank to cut cycle by 7 minutes will be submitted by 11/1.
Agricultural Division
Pilot Plant testing of Sulfur Removal from parathion still residue has been successfully completed. Results indicate a high recovery of sulfur with a consistent dryness of 90% solids with solid bowl centrifuge. PR&D results show recovered sulfur quality approaches specifications of purchased sulfur for P2S5.
The Parathion Fume Collection System is expected to be fully operational and turned over to Production by 10/4.
Process and Quality Analysis
A 2-month experiment in Solid Aroclor to verify the computer study reported in July has demonstrated a 4% improvement in yield worth $40.000 annually. The process will be stabilized at this point until new instrumentation is completed, then will be optimized by further study.
The controlling variable in Methyl Intermediate still yield was found to be operator manipulation of heat input. A superior pattern of heat control was recommended. Potential savings are estimated to be $79.000 annually. Final optimization of stills is planned when programmed steam controls are installed.
Utilities Cost Improvement
Premises for four water savings projects indicate savings of $19.3 M vs.
capital of $13.7 M.

3. Work on the pilot unit is targeted for completion and reporting 10/28/68.
4. HB-40 has been produced in the laboratory autoclave with color 40 APHA by using ultra pure hydrogen which also gives a 207. reduction in hydro genation time. This information will be expanded during the present work on the product to evaluate potential cost and quality gains.
