In America, the sulphur deposits (mostly in Louisiana and Texas) are dome-shaped layers about 30 cm thick, between limestone above and anhydrite below. From these, the sulphur is extracted by the Frasch process. A metal tube, about 15 cm diameter and containing two concentric inner tubes (Figure 10.1) is sunk into the top of the deposit. Water, superheated to 450 K, is forced... [Pg.261]

Nearly all domestic production of U.S. rice is located in the midsouth and California. Arkansas is the leading rice producing state with 40.6% of the national total in 1988. Following Arkansas in order of production share are California (18.5%), Louisiana (15.1%), Texas (14.6%), Mississippi (8.6%), and Missouri (2.6%). [Pg.358]

Uranium is present in small (50—200 ppm) amounts in phosphate rock and it can be economically feasible to separate the uranium as a by-product from the cmde black acid (30% phosphoric acid) obtained from the leaching of phosphate for fertilizers (qv). The development and design of processes to produce 500 t U Og per year at Ereeport, Louisiana have been detailed (272). [Pg.80]

As shown in Table 8, U.S. distribution of oil and natural gas reserves is centered in Alaska, Cahfomia, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and the U.S. outer-continental shelf. Alaska reserves include both the Pmdhoe Bay deposits and the Cook Inlet fields. Cahfomia deposits include those in Santa Barbara, the Wilmington Eield, the Elk Hills Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1 at Bakersfield, and other offshore oil deposits. The Yates Pield, Austin Chalk formation, and Permian Basin are among the producing sources of petroleum and natural gas in Texas. [Pg.4]

X MW in 1986, of the power produced in the same year. Biomass-fueled electric capacity and generation was 19.2% (4.9 x 10 MW) and 21.2% (23.7 X 10 MWh) respectively, of total nonutiUty capacity and generation. Biomass-fueled capacity experienced a 16% increase in 1986 over 1985, the same as natural gas, but it was not possible to determine the percentage of the total power production that was sold to the electric utiUties and used on-site. Total production should be substantially more than the excess sold to the electric utiUties. Overall, the chemical, paper, and lumber industries accounted for over one-half of the total nonutiUty capacity in 1986, and three states accounted for 45% of total nonutiUty generation, ie, Texas, 26% of total California, 12% of total and Louisiana, 7% of total. There were 2449 nonutiUty producers with operating faciUties in 1986, a 15.8% increase over 1985 75% capacity was intercoimected to electric utiUty systems. [Pg.41]

The first large-scale use of hydrazine was as fuel for the rocket-powered German ME-163 fighter plane during World War II. Production in the United States began in 1953 at the Lake Charles, Louisiana plant of the Olin Corp., a facility then having a capacity of 2040 metric tons. In 1992 world capacity was about 44,100 metric tons N2H4. [Pg.273]

The dominant role of petroleum in the chemical industry worldwide is reflected in the landscapes of, for example, the Ruhr Valley in Germany and the U.S. Texas/Louisiana Gulf Coast, where petrochemical plants coimected by extensive and complex pipeline systems dot the countryside. Any movement to a different feedstock would require replacement not only of the chemical plants themselves, but of the expensive infrastmcture which has been built over the last half of the twentieth century. Moreover, because petroleum is a Hquid which can easily be pumped, change to any of the soHd potential feedstocks (like coal and biomass) would require drastic changes in feedstock handling systems. [Pg.366]

In 1984, acetylene production received a significant influx with the increase of capacity at the Borden Co. plant in Geismar, Louisiana. This influx provided an additional 33,000 t/yr, which were absorbed by the vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and acetylenic chemicals market. Acetylene demand has... [Pg.394]

Cyclohexane is present in all cmde oils in concentrations of 0.1—1.0%. The cycloparaffinic cmde oils, such as those from Nigeria and Venezuela, have high cyclohexane concentrations, and the highly paraffinic cmde oils, such as those from Indonesia. Saudi Arabia, and Pennsylvania, have low concentrations and concentrations of cycloparaffins in cmde oils from Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana tend to fall in between (see Petroleum). [Pg.407]

In the multistep production of IPDI, isophorone is first converted to 3-cyano-3,5,5-trknethylcyclohexanone (231—235), then hydrogenated and ammoniated to 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trknethyl-l-aminocyclohexane (1) (236,237), also known as isophorone diamine (IPDA). In the final step IPDA is phosgenated to yield IPDI (2) (238). Commercial production of IPDI began in the United States in 1992 with the startup of Olin s 7000 t/yr plant at Lake Charles, Louisiana (239), and the startup of Hbls integrated isophorone derivatives plant in Theodore, Alabama (240). Hbls has a worldwide capacity for IPDA of 40,000 t/yr. [Pg.496]

Pecans. Pecan is the most important horticultural crop native to North America (163). The United States is the only substantial producer of pecan, despite the fact that pecans have been introduced into AustraUa, Israel, South Africa, and Argentina. The principal producing states, from high to low, are Georgia, Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Alabama, Oklahoma, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, and California. Domestic production of 135,597 t/yr in 1990—1991 was valued at 308,954,500 (153). [Pg.281]

A second pressure on elemental production was the development of processes which remove impurities from phosphoric acid made by the wet process, to generate acid of equivalent purity to that obtained by the electric furnace route. Two such plants were brought on stream one at Aurora, North Carolina in 1990 by a joint venture of Albright Wilson, Texasgulf, and Olin, and another at Geismar, Louisiana, in 1991 by Rhc ne-Poulenc. These units have reported capacities of 47,600 and 31,700 t/yr elemental phosphoms equivalent, respectively (14). [Pg.353]

The appHcation that has led to increased interest in carbon dioxide pipeline transport is enhanced oil recovery (see Petroleum). Carbon dioxide flooding is used to Hberate oil remaining in nearly depleted petroleum formations and transfer it to the gathering system. An early carbon dioxide pipeline carried by-product CO2 96 km from a chemical plant in Louisiana to a field in Arkansas, and two other pipelines have shipped CO2 from Colorado to western Texas since the 1980s. EeasibiHty depends on cmde oil prices. [Pg.46]

The other refining centers in the United States are all located near one of the major pipelines that are suppHed either from the Gulf Coast oil fields or from Oklahoma, Texas, or Louisiana fields. The Pacific Northwest refineries were originally suppHed mostly by Canadian production. Currently (ca 1995), these refineries are predominantly suppHed by Alaskan North Slope cmde, which is brought in from Valdez to the refinery ports in tankers. [Pg.87]

Several states that have a large number of CPI plants offer various types of tax incentives. Louisiana, for instance, offers a 10-yr tax exemption from property taxes on buildings, equipment, and improvements to land (2). Texas, which has a large petrochemical industry, offers a 7-yr tax abatement program. Neither of these states have a state income tax. Both states offer a tax credit for each job created and provide free worker training. [Pg.88]

The state of Louisiana amended its air quaUty regulations (26) to incorporate requirements for chemical accident prevention, and several other states, including Michigan and New York, are considering process safety regulations. [Pg.93]
