He retired April

1 sett was born in
some 3,000 barrels a day above
the previous high achieved last
September, and 7,000 barrels a
day more than the record prior
to that, set in November of 1966.
The record is attributed to a
number of factors, but the under-
lying reason is “a good job by a
lot of people,” according to Jack
Smalling, Conversion Depart-
ment head.
During the recent turnaround
at Cat 2, improvements were
made which permitted operators
to open the unit up more than
ever. Use of a new type catalyst
at the unit is considered an addi-
tional plus factor.
Improvements have also been
made at Cat 3 during recent
months which arc now beginning
to pay off in record production
runs.
Another factor mentioned is
availability of cat feedstock from
the pipe stills, which are also
humming at a record clip.
“Frankly, it’s a little surpris-
ing that we did set a cal unit
production record for April,”
Smalling stated, “considering all

especially—and he also enjoys
