BACK IN FULL PRODUCTION... thanks to Enjay Technical Service Recently, a major producer of alkyl phenol was forced to halt production due to an unknown "catalyst poison." Enjay, the supplier of one of the raw materials, was asked to help assist this company's technical people in finding a quick solution to the problem. Using a combination of modern laboratory instruments and advanced
organic chemical analyses, the poison was identified as phenol ether, traceable to a leak in the heat exchange unit. The plant was quickly able to repair the heat exchanger and resume full production. Enjay Technical Service is available to help customers solve production, application and development problems

to sell their products abroad It's easy to understand why. The European and foreign chemical industry is growing just about as fast as it is able to. The only limiting factor is in the ability of its technical management to design and build plants fast enough. Thus the demand for the latest in chemical processing technology is acute. There is only one complete technical publication serving the chemical field. This is INDUSTRIAL AND ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY - International. Technical management men throughout the world rely on it for the latest in process technology. That's why I/EC has the largest international circulation of any technical pub lication in the field. And that's why over 125 companies are using I/EC - Interna tional to sell their products abroad.
