Manufacturing cost estimate to be made by March 15, 1969 on low color Solid Aroclor 5460 by sodium treatment of Santowax R. Marketing estimates 1 M lbs/yr. sales at start.
Debottlenecking the Biphenyl stills and upgrading No. 1 Tubular Unit project mechanically complete. Insulation, painting and dismantling phases remain for final completion.
Staley Grade and water-white HCl project continues to receive top priority. Aroclor off-gas catch tank installation being expedited for 3/15 completion, and this will give an immediate increase in recovery. Total project completion still scheduled in June.
PNP reactor cycle time controlling variables are under intense study by TSD process and statistical groups. If current batch size of 8,000$ and cycle time of 151 minutes/batch can be main tained, rate will improve to 1.78 M $/mo.
Construction underway on central chlorine unloading facility. Revised completion date is May 26, 1969.

Production rate continues to improve. Reaction time remains at targeted 66 min./batch with letdown continuing in 3O-35 minute range. Batch size continuing to be increased, now back to 8,000 #/batch. PR&D has completed their study of charge tank contents changes, and intensive study of process variables is leading to much better understanding of the causes of reactor letdown problems. Solid phase build up (measure of % solids) observed in sample bottles is attributed to NaPNP. This level build up is a better "before the fact" indication of letdown trouble than the old method of observing an increasing "hump" in the cooling curve. Letdown problem is strongly indicated to be phase-related phenomena. A progress report on developments to date will be issued by 4/1/69.

The Plant Quality Score was 94.9, up 5.4 from January, with YTD score of 92.0 against a target of 95,0 minimum. Cost optimization experiments in Niran condensation, and a deliberate reduction in Aroclor 1242 gravity have made these products deviate from established averages. Statistical standards will be recalculated when equilibrium is reached.

TSD Objective
c-3 Job 879_______
Extensive analysis of operating data was carried out with collaboration of the Process Engineer. This work is reported under TSD Job 482. There is strong evidence that extended reactor cooling cycles involve a phase change (crystalli zation of NaPNP) with liberation of heat. If this occurs at the boiling point, levitation of the reactor mass into the condenser and receiver results in loss of pressure drop and longer cooling cycles. This also recycles solids into the next batch, with continuing build-up of solids and increasingly severe "bumping" of the reactor during depressurization.

Interviewing and testing of candidates for Process and Quality Analysis Technician was completed. A selection will be made early in March.

Meet Color of
Color Improvement__________ Competitive MaterialG. L. Arnett
A chlorinated competitive material, KC-100 (Kanagefuchi) has been found to have lower color than Aroclor 5460. A sample of Kanagefuchi Santowax was chlorinated in the laboratory and found only equivalent in color to Aroclor 5460. This indicates an unknown color improvement step presumably relating to the terphenyl starting material. This project has been concluded.
