Dayton Engineering

Arriving for his first day at the old tobacco warehouse that housed Kettering s firm, Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company, Midgley recalled, I was trying to open the door that looked like the front door of the building, but which was locked. As I strained and pulled at it, a rather lanky individual called out to me, Hey, bud, the architects just stuck that door on to look right to fool people. You get in on the side. Follow me. ... 

Shortly after the invention of the self-starter, engineers at Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company (DELCO) found that ethanol or grain alcohol could be used to reduce knock. The problem with grain alcohol was that anyone could make it. In 1921, Thomas Midgley was working at... 

The author of these quotes was Charles F. Kettering, the founder of the Dayton Engineering Laboratory (DELCO) and of General Motors Research Laboratories, as published in the DELCO magazine in 1916.

The University of Dayton Research Institute has developed a photo-thermal detoxification unit (PDU) that can completely destroy vapor-phase organic contaminants from soil, sludge, and aqueous streams. The PDU is a patented technology that is available for licensing. Engineering plans for construction of a PDU are commercially available. The technology has not been demonstrated on a field scale but has been used in laboratory studies of simulated wastes.

A small city 55 miles north of Cincinnati, Dayton s claim to fame is that it was home to the Wright brothers, the inventors of the first engine-powered airplane. The US Air Force Museum and Carillon Historical Park both have exhibits that feature the first-in-flight brothers. 

Barry Dellinger is the Patrick F. Taylor Chair of the Environmental Impact of Treatment of Hazardous Wastes and professor of chemistry at Louisiana State University (LSU). He is the director of the LSU Intercollege Environmental Cooperative and the acting director of the Biodynamics Institute. He is a member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board Environmental Engineering Committee. From 1981 to 1998, he was group leader of environmental sciences and engineering at the University of Dayton where he also held a joint faculty appointment. From 1978-1981 he was a senior project... 

He moved to the United States as a teenager and received a B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Dayton and an M.S. in organic chemistry from MIT. He joined DuPont in 1927 and retired from there in 1969. He is one of the few people without a Ph.D. to receive a Nobel Prize in the sciences.
