Norco, Louisiana Unit Part of Shell's $10 Million-Plus Expansion Program
The Lummus Company has been awarded a cont r ac t to cons t ruc t an acrolein uni t for Shell Chemical Corporation at its Norco, Louisiana plant.
The unit, scheduled for completion late in 1959, is an important part of a program costing more than $10,000,000, which will complete the remaining facilities in Shell Chemical Corporation's current production program at Norco.
The acrolein unit to be built by Lnmnuis will help the Norco plant produce about 35 million pounds of glycerine a year plus substantial quantities of acrolein, a chemical not made in large volume until the development of the present process.
Shell believes that a wider availability of acrolein will lead to a greater variety of end uses for the product, such as plastics and resins, pharmaceuticals, and textile treating.
A second unit in the expansion program will make glycerine, using acrolein from the new unit and hydrogen peroxide from a unit which Shell completed earlier this year.
In addition to the new acrolein unit, other work done by Lummus for the Shell Chemical Corpora-
