...African Queen. A prissy spinster (Katharine Hepburn) and a gin-swilling skipper (Humphrey Bogart) triumph over jungle heat, hardship and the hangman's noose in John Huston's Technicolored version of C. S. Forester's adventure yarn (TIME...
...reported Enamelstrip's General Manager Arthur E. Uhleen, are almost too good to believe. The original purpose, to eliminate odors and other pollution, proved to be merely incidental to a big increase in the whole plant's efficiency. Not only odors but energy in the form of heat was going out the chimney. Houdry's catalytic units are capturing and saving it, so that Enamelstrip's gas bill has been...
...layers in the chimneys, and each unit has 73 porcelain rods coated with a thin film (only .003 inch) of alumina and platinum alloy. This coating is the catalyst, which combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to burn up noxious wastes, and in so doing generates still greater heat...
...This heat is channeled back to the original furnace and thus cuts down the use of fuel. The installation cost Enamelstrip $16,000, but fuel savings alone will pay this cost within six months. Enamelstrip, which was spending $3,000 a month on gas before the units were installed, is now spending only $300. Said Uhleen: "We're getting so much heat out of them that we're throwing a lot of it away. We plan to heat the whole plant with part of the excess...
...thinks that his new catalytic process can clear the industrial smog from U.S. cities, enable notorious offenders (e.g., New York City's Consolidated Edison Co., which generates electricity from coal) to make immense savings in fuel. Moreover, the oil industry, which has to burn oil to generate the heat needed to refine petroleum, also can make big savings. Houdry estimates that a petroleum cat-cracking unit could save $320,000 a year in fuel by installing 12,000 of his units. Joseph N. Pew's Sun Oil Co., one of Houdry's original partners...
