The shrinkage in demand has resulted in a restmcturing of the carbon black-industry. Several of the principal multinational oil companies have left the business including Ashland, Cities Service Co., Phillips, and Conoco. Some plants have changed ownership. In the United States this has increased the production capacities of Degussa, Sid Richardson, and Huber. Today s U.S. industry consists of six principal producers. Rated capacities of the six U.S. manufacturers is shown in Table 13. Cabot Corp. and Columbian Chemicals are the leading producers, followed by Degussa, Sid Richardson, J. M. Huber Corp., and Witco. A survey of the future markets and present stmcture of the carbon black industry has been presented (1). 

Hy-C Cracking A hydrocracking process. The catalyst is nickel/tungsten on alumina. Developed by Cities Service Research and Development Company and Hydrocarbon Research. 

LC-Fining [Lummus Cities refining] A hydrocracking process using an ebullated catalyst bed. Developed by Lummus Crest and Cities Service Research and Development Company since the 1960s, initially for upgrading bitumen from tar sands. Three units were operating in 1996. 

This research was funded by the National Science Foundation and Cities Service Oil Company, Cranbury, New Jersey. 

NOTE In Europe sophisticated and computerized equipment utilizing HOBr generation has been marketed by some major water treatment service companies as a suitable system for the control of Legionella pneumophila, and thus control of the risk of contracting legionellosis (legionnaires disease). These systems have proved to be popular, if expensive, with operators of some major city building complexes.

On December 31, 1948, Kellogg and Cities Service stopped pilot plant and engineering activities relating to their joint Synthol development. After about 1950, however, the two companies undertook catalyst development work with the assistance of Sir Hugh S. Taylor, John Turkevich, and Marcel Boudart of Princeton University.

Most processes which utilize petroleum raw materials require a preliminary separation of a more-or-less pure component from a petroleum fraction. An exception to this is the direct oxidation of natural gas, as currently practiced by such companies as Celanese Corp., Tennessee Eastman Corp., and Cities Service Oil Co. 

In addition to Carbide and Dow, four other companies are producing LLDPE in the United States Exxon, Mobil, National Petrochemicals, and El Paso (Table III). Others who have been reported to be doing development work include ARCO, Cities Service (now Occidental), Phillips, Soltex, and USI. Several additional plants and plant expansions are expected in the near future. 

MEC (London U.K. and Shanghai, China), an international engineering services company, was awarded a 25 million contract by China Worldbest Group Co. Ltd. (Changzhou, China) to engineer and construct a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and carbon fiber production plant in Bengbu, a city in Anhui province, located in eastern mainland China. The plant will be the first combined polyacrylonitrile and carbon fiber manufacturing facility built in China. The operation will include production of PAN precursor, which then will be converted into carbon fiber tow at the same location.

These workers, almost without exception unskilled, were the main source of labor at Deseret. A small number of other workers from Tooele and Salt Lake City came to work at the depot each day, after provision had been made with a public service company for their transportation.
