3) Operation checked.
Hydroformer No. 2, which
came down for a turnaround on
September 30, was being pul
back in operation last week after
a thorough inspection and clean-

of repairs and improvements.

TIGHT SITE FOR SETTLERS
Two new settling drums were installed at the GF section of the
Butadiene Unit last week, but the installation wasn’t as simple as
the statement sounds. The prefabricated drums, each 30 feet long,
8 feet in diameter, and weighing 41,000 pounds, had to pass over a
maze of pipes and exchangers before being lowered to their founda-
tions amid close quarters of operating equipment. This made the
exclusive use of mobile cranes impractical, and an opening couldn’t
be made through the operating equipment without a costly downtime.
The Rigging Department solved the problem by building a
heavy limber cribbing over the pipes and exchanger, and skidding
the drums into position above the installation site. Then with the
aid of the cranes, the drums were slowly but safely lowered to their
foundations by dismantling the cribbing from beneath them, and
another “growing pain” of the Butadiene expansion program was
eliminated.
