A 1,600-pound bag of catalyst is swung into position over a
hopper on the GEB Unit. The bag is then slit on the bottom, allow,
ing the catalyst to go through a hopper and into the reactor. This
process was used by Enjay to cut charging time. Previously a
concrete bucket was filled with four drums of catalyst each weigh-
ing about 125 pounds. Shown loading the catalyst are Enjay Rig-
gers E. J. Smith, left. and L. P. Gaines. In background are C. M.

In addition to Humble’s and Enjay’s lagoon improvement announced
this week, Enjay has installed a temperature recorder on the outfall of
the effluent separator leading to Scott’s Bay. The recorder will make it
easier for Enjay to chart effluent temperature variations. Data collected
by the instrument will be used to develop projects as needed to keep
effluent cool enough for marine life. Shown checking the chart are Enjay
Technical’s J. B. Arnold, left, and E. J. Sawberger.

Humble and Enjay have long
been among the leaders in air
and water conservation along the
Houston Ship Channel. Recogni-
tion has been given the local
program by numerous individ-
uals and groups. The organiza-
tion most recently citing Humble
and Enjay was the Izaak Wal-
ton League of America, which
commended the firms for "fore-
sighted leadership in the instal-
lation and operation of a three-
stage system of water purifica-
tion before discharge.”
Both companies have a basic
policy of controlling effluent
quality to reduce all waste dis-
charges to air and water to the
lowest practical level, not just to
the level required by public regu-
lations.
In recent years, Humble and
Enjay have invested more than
$10 million in pollution control
projects at Bay town. Annual
operating costs of conservation
equipment and facilities is more
than $2 million.

In 1933, he was transferred to
Houston and made assistant man-

Research work. In 1941, after
various assignments of increasing
responsibility, he was promoted
to manager of Refining Opera-

an important role in bringing
Humble’s Refining Operation to
I he high levels needed for war-
time production of petroleum
products.
Ferguson was elected a mem-
ber of Humble’s Board in 1945.
Six years later, he was elected a
vice president. In 1960, after the
merger of Humble with other

Humble and Enjay have an-
nounced that an expenditure of
$430,000 will be made to further
improve the quality of industrial
water discharged to the Houston
Ship Channel.
The new project will include
construction of a six-acre lagoon
equipped with 16 large aerators.
These will provide additional
oxygen for treated waste waler
before it enters the 380-acre la-
goon system completed by Hum-
ble in August 1964.
Purpose of the present lagoon
system is to impound effluent an
additional 45 days after normal
waste waler treatment to enhance
its quality.
The extended retention time
permits oxidation and bacterio-
logical treatment which further
reduces the contaminants in the
effluent stream.
The $430,000 investment an-
nounced this week will permit
the system to handle increased
amounts of treated effluents, and
will also provide control of algae
bloom and odor problems experi-
enced at the lagoon during sum-
mer months. The lagoon im-
provement, which will be located
