The plant is operated by Sinclair Rubber, Inc., as Agent for the U. S. Government. These new structures, together with other Hortonspheres installed several years ago, play a role from start to finish in Butadiene production at the plant. Hortonspheres are used at the plant to store butane-butylene feed stock, intermediate streams such as concentrated normal butylènes for reactor feed and crude butadiene product from the reactors; and to store final product and by-product streams such as butadiene, isobutane and normal butane. All stocks handled in the spheres are mixtures of the C 4 hydrocarbons in varying com- position. Hortonspheres for the storage of volatile liquids are available in sizes to 30,000 bbls. and for pressures to 217 lbs. per sq. in. in the smaller capacities. In addition to Hortonspheres, we also fabricate and erect other types of pressure vessels, corrosion-resistant storage tanks, and elevated water tanks.
