B, Dow, the bureau’s petrolenm engineer Mr. Dow estimated that 50,000,000 gallons were recovered from uncon densed still vapors at refineries 1n 1921. “Application of the system to al refineries, would give a possible gaso line recovery by this method of 170 000,000 gallons yearly,” the bureau #aid in a statement Careful Calculations “The calculations of the bureau of mines are based on resul cobtaine in refineries whose general method are more et than those employ ed in the h reds of smaller sk ming plants that have no recover systems. It is assumed that in jess efficient skimming plants, loc ed in sections where cold water, so essential for condenser use, is scarce, greater recoveries could be made than i he large re fineries studied This ould be pecially true « Oklahoma, north Texas and Louisiana skimming plants where temperatur are’ high and where cold water is scarce A survey of these plants, it is believed, would show that their losses in uncondensed still vapors would be much higher than in the plants where the studies of the bureau of mines were conduct- ed. Realized by Some Refiners “The magnitude of the loss from non-condensation of these vapors has been realized only by few refiners, judging from the number of plants that have recovery systems The thirteen refineries studied by the bureau of mines are obtaining 127 651 gallone of gasoline daily from un condensed still vapors. These plants are situated in the various refining centers, other than the Pacific coast and are running crude representative of all the producing fields east of the Rocky mountains. In addition, sev. eral are running Mexican crude. In formation from California refineries indicates that on account of the smaller gasoline content of the Cali fornia crude, there are no recovery plants of importance in that state The average recovery of gasoline at the refineries investigated by the bureau of mines amounted to four teenth gallon per barrel of crude oil charged.

On cooling, most of the vapor becomes liquified, but a ‘certain amount of vapor, due to insufficient time for proper cooling' or the fact that fits condensing point is lower than the temperatare of the water, will remain uncondensed Also, certain other fractions will not be condensed, for the reason that their liquefaction points are affected by the presence of cther hydrocarhons. A small part of this uncondensed vapord is dissolved in the liquid that has condensed “Condensation of the vapors coming from the still into liquid is accom- plished either by passing them through pipes or shells having large surfaces exposed to the air or through coils submerged in water Temperature Of Air Important spheric temperature is an| ctor in the production of | uncondensed refinery | found that during win to more complete of the vapors, the pro-| the fall off some extent.
