Progress of the Butyl expansion program is becoming more apparent
at the IHB unit where foundations arc being poured and preparations
made for adding an extension to the compressor building.
New equipment already installed at the RHB unit as part of the
expansion project is this wash system which is nearing completion
and will be tied in during the next downtime of the unit.

with the usual lines, pumps, and

ress in this area includes the
near-completed installation of
the wash system and foundation
work for the new reactor.
Expansion of the finishing sec-
tion will include the installation
of one complete new finishing
train, relocation of offices to pro-

Because so many employees
are having their pay checks
mailed to their homes, the num-
ber of checks delivered from the
Main Clock House has been re-
duced considerably.
Effective next payday, Sep-
tember 16, only three windows at
the Main Clock House will be
open from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30
a.m. After 9:30, all windows will
be closed and the remaining
checks will be returned to the
cashier’s office in the Main of-
fice. Employees may obtain their
checks from the cashier in Room
110-B from 9:45 a.m. to 12
noon, and from 1 p.m. to 4:30
p.m.

The building is located at the Clear Lake Cas Plant on Red Bluf
Road. It has asbestoes siding, is 24 feet wide by 34 feet long, and

GC-3352, may be inspected by contacting the Humble Production
Department office at Genoa.
Sealed bids must be mailed to Westbrook Peer, Humble Oil &

Work on the latter is now in

The new additions at the

Zone 5 has been created by
M & C to cover the big expan-
sion program now in progress at
the Butyl plant. Heading the
group of M & C employees
assigned to this zone for the
Butyl expansion project is E. A.
(Cucumber) Moyers who is reg-
ularly an assistant to B. S. Love,
supervisor of Zone 3. Others are
as follows: Ed Davis, project
planner; J. D. Jackson, planning
clerk; J. F. Stovall, area super-
visor of 5AA; J. J. Daglo, area
supervisor of 5AB, and C. V.
Boehme, area supervisor of
5AC.
D. L. Evans, Plant Pro-
tection, has a question:
“Who was that man I saw
in Leyte Gulf in the Philip-
pines late in 1945?”
Here’s the way it came
about: Evans was boatswain

which is the polymerization sec-
tion; and the FHB unit which
is the finishing section.
Additions to the isobutylene
purification section will include
a tower to water-wash feed, a re-
placement lower, additional acid
reconcentration and cooling fa-
cilities, an additional compres-
sor, and the necessary pumps,
exchangers, lines and controls
required for this equipment.
Current construction on this
section includes foundation work
and preparations for extending
the compressor building to pro-
vide room for the new compres-
sor.
The polymerization section
will be expanded with two re-
placement fractionating towers,
additional reactor capacity, re-
actor wash, recycle drying equip-
ment, and polymer slurry
handling facilities as well as ad-
ditional compressor capacity

employees, both hourly and sala-
ried, are now receiving their pay
checks at home. This is an added
convenience to employees in that
they do not have to make a
special trip to the Clock House
on payday to pick up their
checks.
Those who are not on the
home mailing list and who
would like to be, must fill out
Form AD-82 which can be ob-
tained either from clerks in
various departments or from the
A & B office.
Normally, checks are mailed
from Baytown early enough so
that employees will receive them
on payday.
An expansion program with a
“three-way stretch” has the Butyl
Rubber plant buzzing with con-
struction activities as work pro-
gresses on the installation of
facilities to increase Butyl pro-
duction. Work on the expansion
project is now under way on all
three sections of the Butyl plant,
and, when completed, will pro-
vide additional equipment that
will increase production from
125 million pounds per year to
more than 170 million pounds.
The three sections of the
Butyl plant which are being ex-
panded by the program are the
IHB unit or isobutylene purifi-
cation section: the RHB unit

on a maritime service tanker
when a navy craft, which he
remembers as a landing vessel,
pulled up to the tanker to be
fueled.
The skipper of the navy
craft, a lieutenant, yelled to
Evans, “Say, bosun, is there
anyone on that ship from
Texas?”
Evans yelled back, “Yes sir,
there’s a bunch of us from
Texas. I’m from Pelly, myself.
Where are you from?”
“Why, I’m from Baytown—
and have 12 months service
with Humble. Did you work
at the Refinery, also?” the
lieutenant asked.
After Evans pointed out
that he did, the two had an
enjoyable visit while the navy
vessel was being fueled. As
the craft was pulling away,
the lieutenant yelled to Evans,
“So long, bosun; see you at
the Refinery.”
When Evans got back to
Baytown, he couldn’t remem-
ber the navy man’s name, and
he thinks that on that score,
the lieutenant is “in the same
boat.” Since Evans had a
mustache and goalee at the
lime, he doubts that the lieu-
tenant will recognize him now
without them.
So, if any of you ex-navy
men remember visiting in
Leyte Gulf with the goaleed
bosun from Pelly, give him a
call at JU 3-2573. He’d like
to visit with you again.
