♦During November a sale of 360,650 barrels aviation gasoline was made
to the U. S. Navy. Of this quantity 130,414 barrels were shipped
during 1945 and included in the tabulation above, the balance of
230,236 barrels remained in our storage tanks at Sitra at the end of
1945.
The demand for aviation gasoline dropped rapidly with the ending of the war
with the result that aviation shipping tankage was full about the end of October. All
aviation gasoline manufacturing facilities were shut down at that time and remained
idle to the end of the year. The balance of the refinery facilities continued operating
at capacity.
As mentioned in our report for the year 1944, a large construction program was
undertaken to increase refinery facilities and to produce aviation gasoline for military
purposes. Facilities completed during 1945 included:
(a) Extension of the salt water system to all new plants commissioned.
(b) No. 2 Power Plant (boiler section only).
(c) Butane isomerization unit.
(d) Alkylation unit.
(e) New acid manufacturing and recovery facilities.
(f) Fluid catalytic cracking unit.
(g) Gas concentration unit for fluid catalytic cracking unit.
(h) - Aviation acid treating plant.
(i) Central caustic dissolving plant.
(j) Two new lead sulfide sweetening plants.
(k) Aviation gasoline ethylizing and inhibiting plants.
(l) Conversion of the polymer plant to a thermal gas recovery unit.
(m) Miscellaneous pumphouse extensions.
(n) Additional tankage and lines.
(o) New welding and machine shops.
(p) Conversion of the messhall erected for the construction force to a
combined refinery messhall and yard office.
