Problem: Scheduling α 38,383,000 barrel refinery program one full year in advance
Solution: A Consolidated Model 21-103 Analytical Mass Spectrometer
Richfield Oil Corporation's huge, fully-integrated California refinery processes an average of 105,000 barrels of crude oil daily into a complete petroleum product line. Using a single CEC Analytical Mass Spectrometer one operator completed 6,787 analyses in 1952 on a single-shift basis. Management now plans to double this outstanding performance by running two shifts. The amazing accuracy, speed and reliability of this single instrument enables management ( 1 ) to catalog the exact composition of each and every process stream in the refinery; (2) maintain a refinery-wide sample analysis program; ( 3 ) assemble information to establish master production programs for each ensuing year. A 1 % error in the analysis of a small portion of a refinery's process-streams can cost far more in lost product value in a single year than the cost of a Consolidated Mass Spectrometer completely installed.
