To follow with your memo of October 5> 1967 stating that Surpass
Petrochemicals will no longer be in a position to supply us with
toppings hard alkylate bottom as of March 1968, we are submitting
a project proposal to find an alternative.
.
The subject was discussed with J. Darby and he agrees that one of the following might be considered':
1. DA 122A Soft Heavy Alkylate' from Escane 440 (light grade)
2. DA 123A
" " " 460 (heavy grade)
3. HA 380 Heavy Alkylate synthetic as used in Santo-iube 290. St. Louis cannot evaluated these materials before 1968.
.
Attached is a photocopy of a letter from Imperial Oil Ltd, October l8,
1967.
"k
R. Fern indicated that the present value to Imperial's internal use of DA122A and DA123A is about 2 l/2p/lb. Monitoring quality, storage and handling costs could lead to a selling price of about
5^/lb.
Bill Blockhaus of Surpass reported that they will fill a 4,000 gallon tank of PX-1 for the last time; Surpass can make a 10,000 gallon tank car immediately providing we pay for demurrage or storage.
