u/iSu/ied used in new Marcus Hook Sun Oil Company now joins the ranks of those refiners who have selected furfural for the solvent refining of lubricating oil. A new furfural solvent refining plant has just gone "on stream" at Marcus Hook, Pa., and is daily turning out 1800 bbls. of quality lubricants at low cost. Sun Oil selected the furfural process after thorough study and extended test. Their decision lends still further confirmation to the assurance of obtaining high yields of premium quality products by the furfural process applied to hydrocarbon oils. Furfural in other industries and for other uses
The selective solvent properties of furfural which the oil industry has so widely recognized, are also being used in the refining of wood rosin, and the processing of glyceride oils, as
refinery
well as in the extractive distillation of C4 hydro carbons such as butadiene. If you have a problem involving selective extraction, separation or refining, it may be that furfural can help you. Furfural is also widely used in the manufacture of synthetic resins and in abrasive wheel manufacture. And if you are interested in organic synthesis you should investigate furfural's chemical properties. This versatile aldehyde is fast assuming the same importance as an intermediate that it has as a selective solvent. A request on your company letterhead will bring you a copy of Quaker Oats Bulletin 204Current Uses of Furfural.
