The Ziegler process, based on reactions discovered in the 1950s, produces predorninandy linear, primary alcohols having an even number of carbon atoms. The process was commercialized by Continental Oil Company in the United States in 1962, by Condea Petrochemie in West Germany (a joint venture of Continental Oil Company and Deutsche Erdid, A.G.) in 1964, by Ethyl Corporation in the United States in 1965, and by the USSR in 1983. 

This process is currentiy used by Vista Chemical, successor to Continental Oil Company s chemical business, and by Condea. In the Ethyl Corporation process dilute sulfuric acid is used in place of water in the hydrolysis step producing alum rather than alumina. 

Alfene [Alfa olefene] Also spelled Alfen. A process for making higher alpha-olefins. Ethylene is reacted with triethyl aluminum, yielding high molecular weight aluminum alkyls, and these are treated with additional ethylene, which displaces the higher olefins. Developed by the Continental Oil Company. 

THOMAS F. EDGAR holds the Abell Chair in chemical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He earned a B. S. in chemical engineering from the University of Kansas and a Ph. D. from Princeton University. Before receiving his doctorate, he was employed by Continental Oil Company. His professional honors include selection as the 1980 winner of the AIChE Colburn Award, ASEE Meriam-Wiley and Chemical Engineering Division Awards, ISA Education Award, and AIChE Computing in Chemical Engineering Award. He is listed in Who s Who in America. 

Although most facilities that refine crude petroleum in the United States produce a fuel oil. no. 1 fraction (HSDB 1991), only producers that market fuel oil no. 1 as an end product are listed as commercial manufacturers. These manufacturers include Claiborne Gasoline Company (Claiborne and Union Parish, Louisiana), Continental Oil Company (Acadia Parish, Louisiana), Sun Production Company (Starr County, Texas), Exxon Corporation (Pledger County, Texas), Atlantic Richfield Company (New York, New York), and Shell Oil Company (Houston, Texas) (HSDB 1991). Since fuel oils nos. 1, 1-D, 2, 2-D, and 4, and fuel oil UNSP are not required to be reported under SARA Section 313, there are no data for these fuel oils in the 1990 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI90 1992). 

Apparatus for electrochemical measurements during corrosion fatigue. CF tests can be done using an apparatus designed by the Continental Oil Company, as shown in Figure 6.52.110,111 The polarization potential and current can be controlled for the four samples tests at the same time. The apparatus consists of a Monel tank in which four specimens are subjected to cyclic bending. The preliminary step in the experiment is to determine the displacement caused by the desired applied load. The exact stresses are then determined with the use of strain gages. 

A range of single and blended organic sulphonate standards in oil bases is available. These appear to offer excellent stability and may be diluted with paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons as well as ketones. These may be obtained from Conostan Division, Continental Oil Company, P.O. Box 1267, Ponca City, Oklahoma 74601, U.S.A. 

Major companies producing 1,1-dichloroethane within the United States include PPG Industries, Inc., Continental Oil Company, and Vulcan Materials, all based in Louisiana, and Dow Chemical located in Texas. Each of these companies manufactures 1,1-dichloroethane primarily to be used as an intermediate in the manufacture of 1,1,1- trichloroethane.

The surfactant is the sodium salt of 8-phenyl n-hexadecyl p-sulfonate (molecular weight 404.6 dalton). One sample was generously provided by Prof. W. H. Wade of the University of Texas, Austin. Another batch (Research Sample 8727J) was kindly provided by Continental Oil Company, Ponca City, Oklahoma. 

A derivative of the Ziegler ethylene polymerization process (Alfene process producing 2-linear olefins), this technique is used to produce high molecular weight linear alcohols with an even number of carbon atoms (C4 to C2 -). It was developed by Continental Oil Company, and employs the growth reaction of polyethylene from triethytahinrimim. The rupture of the chain is caused by oxidation of the product ...

A special tribute is due to Dr. Charles Starks of the Continental Oil Company. By the mid sixties, Starks had formulated the principles of phase transfer catalysis and had applied for patents on many reactions that others were later to examine in somewhat greater detail. His mechanistic model of phase transfer catalysis still stands up well today and is a model for much of the thinking in this area. It is fitting that Starks suggested the name phase transfer catalysis by which the whole field is now known.
