Progress Continues at Kellogg on Monsanto's New Phenol-from-Cumene Plant The largest phenol-from-cumene plant in the United States is now in the mechanical engineering stage at Kellogg's New York Offices. Designed to produce 75 million pounds per year of high purity phenol, plus large quantities of acetone, the plant will be built at Chocolate Bayou, Texas, for Monsanto Chemical Company. Full responsibility for engineering, procurement, and construction has been assigned to The M. W. Kellogg Company. A major portion of the process design is based on information licensed from Hercules Powder Company. Feeds to the cumene section will be benzene and propylene; both will be produced by Monsanto at Chocolate Bayou. Feeds to the phenol section will be cumene and air. The entire project, part of the huge multi-million-dollar chemical complex Monsanto is
building at Chocolate Bayou, is scheduled for completion in the summer of 1962. Kellogg-Monsanto teamwork at Chocolate Bayou is another example of Kellogg's active participation in helping chemical, petrochemical and refining companies achieve their broad investment goals. To obtain information on how the Kellogg organization can translate your new-plant investment into the finished plant, you are cordially invited to contact The M. W. Kellogg Company.
