v i e w o f the Cherncel Plant,

Bishop,

Texas

C H E I w i C E L &e&eea£Zsrcfaai26fZ£& At its Cherncel plant, near Corpus Christi, Texas, Celanese has incorporated the most advanced engineering techniques for synthesizing organic chemicals from petroleum gases. The result is a flexible plant that can b e geared readily to the changing needs of chemical markets. Tank cars carry vital organic cor.«pounds daily from Cherncel to industries through­ out the nation. This past year, with the completion of storage terminals at Corpus Christi and New Haven, Celanese inau­ gurated the first tanker movements of formaldehyde—from Cherncel to New England. While serving today's chemical markets, Celanese keeps an eye to the future through its intensive research program. Begun 1 6 years ago, this program has resulted in the pro­ duction of an expanding group of important commercial com­ pounds and new chemicals. Another achievement is repre­

sented by the recent completion of the Celanese Petroleum Chemicals Research a n d Development Laboratory a t Clarkw o o d , Texas. Here, engineers and skilled technicians are working continuously t o improve plant processes, to find new applications for current Celanese Chemicals and to develop additional compounds for production at Cherncel. Celanese is a major producer of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, methanol, acetone, acetic acid and other organic chemicals. W r i t e for the latest brochure describing these Celanese Chemicals. And, for the organic compounds you need now and will need, look to Celanese. CELANESE
