Union Carbide got a lot of #2 fuel oil delivered from Corco via leaky tank bottoms and gravity down the hill. The lake stretched from the highway, under the admin. Bldg. well past the main laboratory and was quite a few feet thick. Folks there doing some ground excavation work near the lab pointed out the fuel running into the hole and showed me it was high enough quality to run a small diesel engine.
Point Comfort is the formosa ethylene complex. Seadrift is the UCC plant south of there.
Based on your commentary, you appear to have had a career in the used equipment business. Lots of good money there buying cast off stuff and find a buyer that had a near term need.

My error, I got the two mixed up. My former employer bid and won a lot of dismantlement jobs with Carbide. They also got a lot with Monsanto and Dupont. The Niagara Falls office had a crew in Hooker Chemical all the time. They always talked about how nasty C56 was. One year they had a project removing something like 20 each 500 gal Nickel 200 reactors with columns. The bean counter management at the corporate office ruined the company losing focus of what it was good at.
Seadrift sure had some morphodite compressors for an olefins unit with both up nozzles and down nozzles for each. Must have been a real pain to overhaul them. Westlake was interested in the TX City Olefins unit to move to their Lake Charles complex but not the old lower temp HK40 tubed furnaces. Everyone else was using HP by then

one maybe two of the gas turbine rotors at Seadrift olefins was scavenged from a desert installation in Libya

Interesting. There were several gas turbine driven barrel natural gas pipeline compressors delivered for PDVSA in 2007 but final payment never made. Most have been sold in the last 6 months, Barrel compressors are a popular design for hydrogen service as recycle in refineries. The only flange for the casing is on the suction end.

Welp, you’re wrong twice in one sentence. Congratulations. Not a country, not “Socialistic”, whatever that

Hey dumbazz:
