RECEIVES REFINERY AWARD FROM MAURITANIA
A contract has been signed between the government of the Islamic
Republic of Mauritania and Voest-Alpine of Austria for the design, supply
and erection of a complete "grass-roots" refinery to be built at Nouadhibou.
The refinery will process 20, 000 bpd of Algerian crude and serve local
needs, but a high percentage of products will be for export. The project is
to be financed under arrangements made by Voest-Alpine. Kellogg
International Corporation, London, under sub-contract to Voest-Alpine, will
provide the basic design of the refinery and certain other services.

STAINLESS STEEL STRESS-CORROSION CRACKING
CAN BE AVOIDED, KELLOGG ENGINEER SAYS
Salt Lake City, August 19..."It is disturbing to experience a sudden stress-corrosion
failure of a material which has been selected especially for its corrosion resistance," but
such failures do occur in chemical processing plants and "there presently is no reliable
fundamental theory of stress-corrosion cracking in any alloy-environment system which
can be used to predict the performance of equipment
"The problem is significant in size One large chemical company reported the
1971 cost for materials and maintenance due to stress-corrosion cracking at $4.1 million.
This compares to a cost of the company of $4.7 million for fatigue failures."
Speaking here today before the 78th national meeting of the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers, Larry A. Zeis, senior staff metallurgical consultant of The M. W.
Kellogg Company, Houston, said stress-corrosion prevention is the responsibility of

STAINLESS STEEL STRESS CORROSION.
2.2.2
In a discussion of stress-corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steels, he
pointed out that, even though such "cracking is sudden and, in many cases, failure occurs
without warning. it is possible to minimize the possibility (by minimizing) the stress,
the temperature, the amount of chloride, and the time of contact with chloride solutions."
Mr. Zeis urged designers to provide "drains SO that condensate and test water can be
removed" from all piping equipment, and to make all attachments self-draining. He said
insulated stainless steel should be painted to avoid the holding of water and the concentration
of chlorides.
Fabricators, he told the assembled engineers, should practice "more than normal
cleanliness and housekeeping. Contact of metal surfaces with chlorides even from such
commonplace sources as perspiration, shop dirt, solvents or paints should be minimized"
to avoid chloride concentration, and "marking materials, liquid penetrant materials, and
test water should be of controlled chloride content." Die-stamping and cold-working should
be minimized, and "U-bent exchanger tubes should be heat-treated to remove residual
stresses," he added.
In plant operation, "chlorides should not be introduced into the system. If they are
accidentally introduced, or if flooding leaves chlorides on stainless steel surfaces,"
Mr. Zeis said, "they should be removed by flushing with condensate or demineralized
water. Any condition which could cause a combination of chloride concentration, stress,
and temperature should be avoided, " the engineer pointed out.

WORLDWIDE FERTILIZER AMMONIA PICTURE
DISCUSSED BY M. W. KELLOGG ENGINEER
Salt Lake City, August 19 As population growth continues, world needs for
food and, consequently, for fertilizer, will continue to grow. Fulfillment of those
needs will require adapting to constraints imposed by the worldwide energy imbalance.
Those points were stressed here today by Leon J. Buividas, manager of inorganic
chemical processing for The M. W. Kellogg Company, Houston, who said that, "while
there are many areas where ammonia shortages exist; on the whole, one would have
to state that a good balance has been maintained, thanks to the enormous increase in
ammonia production over the past ten years." He estimated that, during that time,
approximately 150 large-scale fertilizer ammonia plants (600 tons a day or more in
capacity) have been put into operation or have been contracted for and now are in design,
engineering or construction. By 1980, he estimated, "there will be about 170 large
plants in operation" throughout the world.

WORLDWIDE FERTILIZER.
2.2.2
Mr. Buividas was speaking before assembled engineers at the 78th national
meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers now underway. He pointed
out that world production of nitrogen (for fertilizers) was approximately 38 million
metric tons in 1967. "Projections for 1977, including plants presently under construction,"
he said, "indicate that capacity will exceed 77 million metric tons."
He contended this more than doubling over a ten-year period "is being brought
about largely by the construction of (fertilizer ammonia) plants in the range of 600 to
1700 short tons a day. Most new construction," he said, "centers on plants of 1000 to
1500 short tons a day capacity." While this capacity range will apply "in the near future,"
Mr. Buividas proposed there also will be "interest in giant plants having capacities of
2000 short tons a day and greater, but these will be isolated cases and will be
associated with cheap natural gas feed (such as in the Middle East and North Africa). "
In high feed cost areas, "the potential savings derived per ton of ammonia with increas-
ing plant capacity begins to diminish as capacities exceed 2000 tons a day," he declared.
Gas, Other Feedstocks
The bulk of worldwide ammonia production today - 75 to 80 percent - is obtained
via the route of steam hydrocarbon reforming, the Kellogg manager said, "and approxi-
mately 60 to 65 percent of this utilizes natural gas feed." Although these percentages
"will more or less be maintained in the near future the prospects are that, over the
long range, utilization of coal and heavy oil feeds may increase significantly."

Mr. Buividas - delivering a paper co-authored by James A. Finneran, director
of process engineering for Kellogg, and Orlando J. Quartulli, manager of process
engineering of the Northeast Operations Center of Kellogg at Hackensack, New Jersey - --
pointed out that "most, if not all, of the ammonia production in North America and Europe
will (continue to) be based on natural gas feed, (but), if the cost of natural gas approaches
one dollar per million British thermal units, other feedstocks may be given serious
consideration."
He pointed out that the "partial oxidation process can be applied to units with the
flexibility to handle a wide range of liquid feedstock (and that) plants embodying the use
of the fuel oil partial oxidation process have been in operation for more than 20 years
and.
indications are that more may be built in the near future." He further indicated
that "many low-capacity plants based on coal feeds have been in operation for many years
(and) in some areas, notably in South Africa and India, new (high-capacity) coal-based
ammonia plants have been announced
"Based on raw material availability, the choice of a process design is between
catalytic steam reforming of light hydrocarbons and partial oxidation of heavy hydro-
carbons, Mr. Buividas added. "In certain exceptional cases where a source of hydrogen-
rich gas is available, the design (would involve) cryogenic processing or some alternate

Even coke oven gas could be used as feed, the Kellogg engineer indicated, but "use
of coke oven gas for large, ammonia plant operation obviously would require close
association with a large metallurgical facility, and would require an abundant source of
hydrogen."

Economics
Mr. Buividas discussed the economics of the various processes, cautioning that,
"with the present world situation on petroleum and the prospects for further increases
in the cost of feedstocks, it is difficult to make any precise predictions as to which feed
and fuel to consider on a long-range basis There are a large number of factors, " he
stressed, including "feed price structure, plant size and location, transportation and
shipping costs, contractual considerations, cost of capital, use of the product -- e.g.,
whether for export or captive use -- and international situations."
Conclusions
He drew five major conclusions:
"Most, if not all, of the ammonia production in North America and Europe
will be based on natural gas feed." Other feedstocks "may be given serious consider-
ation" if the cost of natural gas approaches one dollar per million Btu's.
"Shipment of ammonia from areas where natural gas is abundant appears to
be highly attractive. Ammonia or ammonia-based products can be economically
exported from the Middle East, North Africa, and other low-cost feed locations to
high-cost areas. Barring international complications, shipment of nitrogen to the
United States, Europe and other locations will play an increasingly important role in
worldwide distribution. Shipment of bulk ammonia will be dependent on carrier
limitations and possibly on associated safety hazards.

"Use of fuel oil and other heavy hydrocarbon feeds with the partial oxidation
process will increase to a greater degree than previously, primarily because of the
increasingly favorable price structure If the natural gas price in any given location
exceeds the fuel oil price by a significant degree, fuel oil will be adopted as ammonia
plant feedstock.
"Greater emphasis will be placed on use of liquid fuels for firing both the
reformer and auxiliary boilers in steam reformer units.
"Coal-based operations can be justified in locations where the unit cost of
coal is low, where gas does not exist, and where the alternative is expensive imported
oil, as in South Africa and India
Use of such feed will be governed to a great degree
by whether an attractive price differential between solid and hydrocarbon feedstocks
can be maintained on a long-term basis. However, the high costs of mining and
transportation charges will, of course, reduce any potential economic advantage inherent
in the use of solid fuels. "

M. W. KELLOGG SPECIFICATIONS EXPERTS CONTEND:
"METRICATION IS A FOUR-LETTER WORD - MUST!"
Dallas, Sept. 16. While "the problems of converting to the metric system in the United States
have been complicated by lack of direction from congress, (the move to) metrication is a must
(and), regardless of our personal preference, metrication will occur in this country. (The
question is) 'when' and 'how' rather than 'if'."
Speaking before the petroleum mechanical engineering conference of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers underway here, William D. Bush, standards group supervisor of
The M. W. Kellogg Company, Houston, contended that "people do not compute very much in
their daily lives and, probably will not find the adjustments (to metrication) as difficult as has
been feared." He said that "it falls on the engineer to make this transition easy for the general
public, adding "there will be some 'future shock' involved here, particularly for the man who
has had long years of experience estimating yards of concrete by looking at a foundation or
figuring barrels based on the size of the tank. Here," Mr. Bush contended, "is where the
conversion to metric will have its greatest impact."

METRICATION. 2.2.2
Dialects
Delivering a paper co-authored by Robert E. Catlett, Kellogg's specifications and piping-
mechanical manager, Mr. Bush said that "where the general public will have to learn a new
language, the engineer will have to be bilingual." Further, "there are several metric systems
in existence today (and) we are now faced with different dialects of the basic metric language.
Without guidance of the congress, the United States is faced with selecting a metric system on
an industry by industry or, possibly, company by company basis, depending on the need at the
moment conversion is found desirable." The Kellogg engineer said "we already have the case
of standards organizations going separate ways The American Society for Testing and Materials
is using pascal for stress values and pressures (while) the American National Standards Institute
committees working on International Standards Organization standards for valves have agreed to
use. bars as a pressure unit."
There must be coordination, he pointed out, adding that "there are many industries which
are basically metric already. Did they do it because they believe in the intrinsic value of the
metric system?, he asked rhetorically. "Certainly not In every case, there was a payoff
in sight and not a cost. The need to coordinate products between foreign and domestic plants,
the need to sell in a metric market, the need to reduce proliferation of parts in a dual system - --
all these affected the timing of the decision to change," Mr. Bush asserted.

Chiding the "staggering estimates of costs for retooling," he said that "when Ford
decided to make the metric Pinto engine in this country, they did not scrap all the American
machine tools. They merely ordered metric-sized cutters to fit American-made tool holders
and, behold, a metric machine tool!"
Mr. Bush said Kellogg, a division of Pullman Incorporated, early "awakened to the fact
that we were going to have to be conversant in the metric language because of our ever-
increasing contact with clients in metric countries." He added that Kellogg feels that "when
congress acts and the National Metric Planning Board is formed. the recommendation will be
that the United States convert to SI (International System of Units).
Kellogg Converting
Initially, Kellogg is in a phase of "soft conversion, " he said, as are most firms who are
entering the conversion today. "That is, they do not change the physical size of anything, but
just express it in metric terms
As designs change with time, the older inch unit item will
be replaced with metric items."
In this first phase, standards and specifications "are maintained on an inch-unit basis, but
the results are expressed with metric equivalent dimensions and values in parenthesis." In the
next step, "around five years away, Kellogg will "reverse the emphasis on our drawings and
show the metric dimensions as the primary measure and the inch units as secondary, (forcing)
the user to use metric dimensions, but (giving) him the inch counterparts if he really needs it.

"The third and final step. will be to eliminate English units entirely."
The authors contend that "the change to SI metric units will really provide the United
States with a tremendous opportunity to upgrade our national standards and reduce the
proliferation of parts and varying units that now exist. " He said the SI units have "inherent
advantages" in that "there is one and only one unit for each physical quantity
there is a
unique and well-defined set of symbols and abbreviations the relation between multiples
and submultiples of these base units is held to a decimal basis
The units are all coherent
(and) all the base units -- except the kilogram -- can be defined in terms of physical
measurement that can be made in a laboratory."

PRIME MINISTER INDIRA GANDHI DEDICATES
MAJOR NEW INDIAN FERTILIZER COMPLEX
Kalol, Gujarat, India, November 8
Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi today dedi-
cated a major new agricultural chemical complex here, as India marked another major
step towards agricultural independence.
Heart of the ammonia-urea fertilizer complex is a 1000-ton-a-day ammonia
plant designed and engineered by The M. W. Kellogg Company, a division of Pullman
Incorporated. It is the second Kellogg-designed fertilizer ammonia facility in that
nation, and India's first large-scale, gas-fed, all-centrifugal Kellogg plant.
While design and basic engineering of the facility were provided by M. W. Kellogg
through Kellogg India Limited of New Delhi, much of the detailed engineering, procure-
ment, inspection and expediting was executed by Engineers India Limited. Indian
fabricators were chosen wherever possible for the supply of equipment and materials.
Those materials and parts unavailable on the subcontinent were shipped in parts for
final fabrication and assembly by local engineers and craftsmen.
More than 40 Indian companies were involved in the project for Indian Farmers
Fertiliser Cooperative Limited, which is owned by more than 30, 000 village cooperatives
with an aggregate membership of 20 million farmers spread over ten Indian states.

And a Happy New Year!
M. W. KELLOGG LOOKS OPTIMISTICALLY AT 1975;
ANNOUNCES 33% EXPANSION AT HOUSTON HEADQUARTERS
Houston, January 6 The M. W. Kellogg Company, Houston, a division of Pullman Incorporated,
today kicked off the first working Monday of the new year on an optimistic note by expanding its
international headquarters facilities by a third, and by announcing plans for a staff increase of
the same percentage during the new year.
At a champagne breakfast to mark the beginning of the new business year, Frank H. Shipman,
Jr., senior vice president of Western Hemisphere operations, announced the design, engineering
and construction company has begun its move into 100, 000 square feet in the new Travelers Building
in Greenway Plaza, the southwest Houston site of Kellogg's international headquarters.
The move of engineering and financial groups into half the Travelers Building brings Kellogg's
international headquarters space in Greenway Plaza to approximately 400, 000 square feet. Besides
occupying more than a quarter million square feet in the Kellogg Building, the company has more
than 20, 000 square feet in the Eastern Airlines Building, and more than 15, 000 in the Union Carbide
Building. The firm also has resident client offices in the Conoco Tower. All are located within
the Greenway Plaza complex.

Kellogg also has a ten-acre tool and equipment depot in South Houston which serves the
worldwide construction sites of the company, and a 200, 000-square-foot pipe fabrication
and warehousing facility in the eastern segment of the city, where piping for the power and
process industries is fabricated and stored. Kellogg currently is preparing to move into a
50, 000-square-foot laboratory on a 14-acre site west of the city, where its research and
engineering development group will be headquartered by mid-year.
Growth at Greenway
The first Kellogg engineering personnel moved into the new space this morning. Over
the next five weekends, additional personnel will move into the new building, where the
company's engineering department will occupy approximately 80, 000 square feet.
The company's financial operations, under newly-elected vice president Donald R. McGraw,
also will move from the 21-story Kellogg Building and will occupy 20, 000 square feet on the
top floor of the ll-story Travelers Building. The M. W. Kellogg Employees Federal Credit

Impact on Houston Economy
Kellogg's continuing growth since its headquarters move to Houston has had a
substantial impact on the Houston economy.
For example, purchases of materials and equipment for refining, chemical and
petrochemical facilities throughout the world under construction by Kellogg neared a third
of a billion dollars in 1974 triple that spent in 1973. Of the 1974 purchases, approximately
$160 million were placed through Houston-based companies or firms with major Houston
offices. Nearly $65 million went directly to Houston-area vendors - those with facilities in
the area.
The company anticipates the same percentages will apply during 1975, at which time
contract purchasing is expected to near $500 million. That would mean approximately $100
million spent with Houston-area businesses, and approximately $250 million placed through
Houston-based offices.
To handle this volume, Kellogg shipped approximately 25, 000 tons of equipment and
materials to various plant sites throughout the world through the Ports of Houston and
Galveston. The company expects this volume to nearly triple in 1975, with approximately
70, 000 tons exported.
A similar growth is expected in imports through Gulf Coast ports. Two thousand tons
came in in 1974; about 7500 tons are expected this year.

Kellogg's own operations also have impacted on the economy as the company has grown
from approximately 400 employees in Greenway Plaza in 1970 to a headquarters staff today
of approximately 1800. The company plans to increase its technical and support personnel
here by a further 600 to 700 during calendar 1975.
Local annual purchases for company travel and supplies near $3 million in Houston,
with $1 million for air tickets alone, and another million for office purchases. For the new
Travelers Building space, nearly $500 thousand was spent locally on furnishings.
International Activities
The M. W. Kellogg Company is an engineering and construction division of Pullman
Incorporated. Besides its headquarters in Houston, it has full service facilities in Hackensack,
New Jersey, and in Toronto, Ontario. Its power piping and chimney headquarters, serving
the power industries, are located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, with major fabrication plants
located in California and Texas. Sales and support offices are located throughout the United

Dear Mr. Petrie:
The first visit to this country ever made by a
broadly representative trade mission from the People's Republic
of China will take place in 1975. We are proud of the fact
that this historic mission will come at the invitation of the
National Council. Plans for the visit were confirmed by the
Chinese during discussions our Vice President, Eugene Theroux,
held with the China Council for the Promotion of International
Trade while in Peking last month.
The group will be led by officials of the China
Council for the Promotion of International Trade. Our office
will, in due course, be in touch with you as plans are made
for visits by this group around the United States.
During the past year US exports to China neared the
billion dollar mark. Though in 1975 agricultural sales may
dip, reflecting good Chinese crops and reduced availability of
American grains, our industrial equipment and other non-
agricultural sales to China are expected to rise.
Imports, too, will rise in 1975, and we are pleased
to have been invited, at the Canton Fair and in Peking in
November, to participate in extensive discussions with the
Chinese on meeting the needs of US importers and, in general
expanding China's understanding of the American market.
Participation by US firms in the Canton Export
Commodities Fair will also increase. American attendance grew
sharply, to more than 300, at the 1974 Autumn Fair, where
Americans were the third largest contingent after Hong Kong
and Japanese traders. US business in Canton, an estimated
$40 million, was the largest yet recorded by American firms at
any Fair.

Programs and resources of the National Council have
been refined to provide your firm, in 1975, with the most
complete tools available anywhere for keeping abreast of oppor-
tunities in the China market. Our relationship with each of
China's Foreign Trade Corporations, and with the Chinese Liaison
Office in Washington, has grown steadily, yielding an excellent
working partnership.
Through our magazine, the US China Business Review
and other publications, we will continue to keep you regularly
apprised of world-wide developments in Sino-US trade. We have
organized a series of conferences and seminars in cities around
the country for the coming months. The format for these meetings
insures a give-and-take between persons who have actually parti-
cipated in major import and export transactions with the Chinese.
Finally, a recently formed academic advisory committee
makes available to our member firms analysis and forecasts by
preeminent economic and political specialists on China.
We look forward to your continued participation in our
work. To this end, I am enclosing the dues statement for your
firm's 1975 annual membership in the National Council.
With kind regards.

M.W. KELLOGG, HOUSTON OFFICIALS
HAIL COMPANY'S MAJOR 1975 EXPANSION
Houston, January 6. "How (can) we at Kellogg be optimistic when pessimism seems
to surround us."
This question was posed at a champagne breakfast held here this morning by
The M. W. Kellogg Company, a division of Pullman Incorporated, which announced
expansion of its international headquarters by one-third, and its planned personnel
expansion by the same percentage.
It was posed by Frank H. Shipman, Jr., senior vice president of Western Hemisphere
operations, who said that, "as engineers of energy, we must be optimistic. Hydrocarbons --
oil, gas, and coal -- still are the most plentiful raw feedstocks to supply energy, materials
and chemicals, from fibers to structures and, in respect to food, make it possible to
return the nitrogen of the atmosphere to the earth." Mr. Shipman was referring to Kellogg's
acknowledged leadership in the area of fertilizer ammonia plant design, engineering and
construction.

2.2.2
Mr. Shipman pointed out that the "price of some hydrocarbon raw materials has
increased almost fourfold in less than 18 months
To those in the process industry,
this spells opportunity because of the greater incentive to conserve, recover and
upgrade every source of hydrocarbon feasibly available. What last year was a waste
gas or liquid unworthy of recovery today is worth further processing. What was waste
heat yesterday, today has a high value that probably justifies an investment in engineering
and equipment to recover and utilize (it). "
He said that "new technical developments eventually will yield economic new sources
of energy, but, in the short and medium future, hydrocarbons will remain Number One
We see the future
busy, exciting and rewarding
When we remember that, in today's
economy, a process plant requires three to five years to plan, engineer and construct,
we realize that we are expanding this morning not only for 1975, but for 1980 as well. "
PORD
Houston Salute
At the breakfast, Willard E. Walbridge, chairman of the Houston Chamber of Commerce,
saluted the international engineering and construction firm by saying that, when Houston got
the word that M. W. Kellogg was moving here
the whole far-flung petroleum industry
recognized it both as a perfectly natural development for Kellogg and a tremendous break-
through for Houston. It has proven to be both. "
Mr. Walbridge, senior vice president of corporate affairs of Capital Cities Broadcasting
Company, said that Kellogg's "original decision to make the move (to Houston in 1970) is
vindicated and confirmed as sound and wise By this expansion, they not only are making a
bullish and positive move to keep up with physical requirements of expanded operations, they
also are, in a most emphatic way, underlining their belief in the economic future and shining
promise of Houston itself. "

M. W. KELLOGG ANNOUNCES 100% EXPANSION,
FEB 24 1975
$10 MILLION LEASE IN NEW JERSEY
Hackensack, N. J., February 18
The M. W. Kellogg Company, a division of
Pullman Incorporated, today announced plans to almost double the space and staff
at the company's full-service design, engineering and construction facility in
Hackensack.
Double Space & Manning
Presenting a lease for twice the space previously held by Kellogg in
Hackensack, Frank H. Shipman, Jr., senior vice president with the firm,
instructed James R. Lambrix, vice president and general manager at the New
Jersey location, to "double the manning here."
Citing the urgency for gaining additional space for an immediate increase
in staff, Mr. Lambrix presented detailed office layout plans to the owners of
the building with instructions to "proceed as quickly as possible. "

2. 2. 2.
Both presentations were made at a reception given by Kellogg commemorating
the decision to double the size of the Hackensack facility. Representatives from
business and government attended the event.
$10 Million Contract
The lease -- valued at approximately $10 million over a ten-year period is
for five floors in Continental Plaza Corporation's 12-story Tower III office
building, now under construction in their complex on Hackensack Avenue in
Hackensack.
"We plan to build our work force at our Northeast Operations Center in
Hackensack from its present level of a little over 300 to about twice that over
the next two years, " said Mr. Shipman, senior vice president of Western
Hemisphere Operations, headquartered in Houston.
Mr. Shipman revealed that the lease with Continental Plaza is for more
than 100, 000 square feet in Tower III, next door to Kellogg's current location
in Tower II.
The company expects to move into the new office space upon completion of
Tower III, now scheduled for late summer.
"With this 100, 000 square feet -- which will give us twice the space we
now have in Hackensack -- we can continue building our employee force here
in the northeast to help solve the energy problems confronting us here and
abroad, " said Mr. Shipman.

Seeking Good Employees
He then charged James R. Lambrix, vice president and general manager of
the Northeast Operations Center, with "finding the good employees needed to
continue building Kellogg's good name here in the northeast."
After receiving the signed lease from Mr. Shipman, Mr. Lambrix said
that he knew the Kellogg group would willingly accept the challenges ahead, and
looked forward to moving into their new facilities.
Return to Northeast
Mr. Lambrix then told the assembled business and governmental leaders
that "the expansion of Kellogg in New Jersey is a continuation of the company's
plan, begun about two years ago, to re-establish a full-service facility in the
northeast.
"When Kellogg headquarters were moved from New York City to Houston in
1970, " he added, "a primary goal was to continue to maintain a capability in the
northeast area
Since establishing our Northeast Operations Center here
in Hackensack in mid-1973, we have surpassed all projected company goals and, "
he continued, "Ibelieve we have maintained or surpassed the high quality of
professionalism that goes with the Kellogg name."

little or no help from the worldwide Kellogg organization. With twice the
manning (you now have), we can foresee bigger and better things for the

FOR RELEASE: 6 P. M., FEBRUARY 18, 1975
FEB 24 1975
KELLOGG: NEW IN HACKENSACK, DEEPLY
ROOTED IN JERSEY AND THE NORTHEAST
Hackensack, February 18
The M. W. Kellogg Company officially opened a
Northeast Operations Center in Hackensack, New Jersey, on July 2, 1973, to
provide full design engineering, procurement and construction services to the
broad spectrum of the petroleum, petrochemical and chemical industries.
It opened with a complement of 25 permanent employees, three temporary
employees, and three visitors from M. W. Kellogg's international headquarters
in Houston. Today, the staff of the Hackensack facility exceeds 300.
The Bergen County location was selected because of its proximity to the
many petroleum, petrochemical and chemical company headquarters and
operating facilities in the northeast. Hackensack was selected because of its
centralized location in an area where there is a concentration of experienced
engineers and technical personnel; and because of its location near many
schools of higher learning, permitting its people to continue to upgrade their
knowledge.

These points were paramount in the decision-making process, for
M. W. Kellogg, as engineers of energy, is a highly technical company. It
is engaged, worldwide, in the solving of many of the problems facing mankind
today. It is active in the design, engineering and construction of petroleum
refining, petrochemical and chemical processing, and fertilizer facilities
to help solve the energy crisis, the ecological problems, and to help feed
the world's hungry. Kellogg-designed ammonia plants today account for
about a fourth of the world's fertilizer ammonia production, and are expected
to produce more than 50 percent of the world's ammonia capacity by the end
of 1977.
Was the choice of Hackensack a good one? With a current staff of
315, James R. Lambrix, vice president of Kellogg and general manager of
the northeast operations center, says the numbers speak for themselves.
"The central location has permitted us to select experienced engineers
and technical personnel from the New Jersey-New York-Connecticut area, 11
according to Mr. Lambrix. "What's more, it's location has permitted us
to regain key Kellogg personnel who were unable to make the move from
New York to Houston in 1970, " when the Pullman Incorporated division
relocated its international headquarters there.

"Forty-five of the staff are ex-Kellogg employees who returned to
the company. These experienced engineers and specialists have an average
of more than 20 years each with Kellogg, and have formed a key experienced
cadre around which to build. They know the company; they know how it
operates; they help bring others along quickly. It's made for a very high
esprit de corps, " Mr. Lambrix added.
Approximately 60 percent of the staff are technical employees. The
remainder serves in vital support areas such as finance, procurement and
general administration. As a group, they are working on refinery, chemical,
agricultural chemical and pharmaceutical projects throughout the world. In
close coordination with Kellogg Continental of Amsterdam, an M. W. Kellogg
affiliate, they are overseeing a major ammonia-urea complex for Agrico at
Verdigris, Oklahoma.
That the company and the centralized location in Continental Plaza on
Route 4 and Hackensack Avenue are drawing points for perspective employees
is borne out by the fact that Kellogg has held three open houses for prospective
employees since opening in Hackensack. The first drew 90 people; the second,
more than 200. "Just recently, " Mr. Lambrix said, "we held a third open
house, particularly for engineers and procurement specialists, and more
than 400 came to learn about the opportunities here."

Part of a Plan
When Kellogg moved its worldwide headquarters to Houston from
New York City, original plans called for the retention of engineering and
procurement capabilities in the northeast, concurrent with a continued
build-up in Houston. Economic conditions at that time dictated, however,
that a more prudent policy was to build up the engineering/construction
operations in Houston, the company's world headquarters; and postpone
the reestablishment of an engineering office in the northeast. A sales
office in New York City remained active to service local clients, however.
In announcing the Hackensack facility in May of 1973, Kellogg president,
Clark P. Lattin, Jr., said "now is the time to revive our basic plan and
provide a complete engineering and procurement capability in the northeast."
His statement has proved true.
Jersey Presence
The M. W. Kellogg Company is not new to New Jersey. The company
has been active in the state since 1905 when Elizabeth-born Morris W. Kellogg
moved his newly-established firm to Jersey City and established a fabrication
shop to provide piping for electric power plants. He had founded the company
four years earlier in New York City, shortly after receiving his degree from

Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken. At the time of the move, the
company's operations had extended into vessel fabrication and chimney design
and erection.
Kellogg maintained a continuous presence in Jersey City until 1971, when
overall international headquarters were moved to Houston. Its presence is
still felt in the vicinity of the original plant through the existence of Kellogg
Street, named by the city in honor of the company's founder nearly 40 years
ago.
At first, the New Jersey location served both as a manufacturing center
and company headquarters. As the company expanded its engineering operations
in the 1930's, the executive and engineering offices were moved to New York City.
At the same time, the company's research and development laboratory and
piping fabrication shop in Jersey City were expanded.
The manufacturing center continued to grow through the decade to meet
industry demands, and further surged to meet wartime needs during the '40's.
In 1960, Kellogg opened a major pipe fabrication facility in Williamsport,
Pennsylvania -- now the company's power piping and chimney headquarters --
but retained its presence in Jersey City as the company's extensive library and
record center. A few years later, the company built a complete research and
engineering development laboratory in Piscataway; and concurrent with announced

plans to move the lab to Houston -- a move now underway -- the company
began its growth in Hackensack.
Thus, in its past 70 years of operation, Kellogg has always had facilities
in New Jersey; and the announced expansion in Hackensack further strengthens
the company's identity in the Garden State.

"SENSE OF URGENCY" FOR FERTILIZER
IS SEEN BY M. W. KELLOGG PRESIDENT
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., June 10 "We have observed a great sense of
urgency for new fertilizer production in the younger nations. Most of the
leaders of these new nations recognize the importance of fertilizer to food
production. This is bound to increase world fertilizer production."
Clark P. Lattin, Jr., president of The M. W. Kellogg Company, Houston,
speaking today at the fifth marketing conference of The Fertilizer Institute
underway at the Greenbrier here, said his company believes that, "in the
interval of 1977 to 1980 there will be 12 plants ordered annually with an
average capacity of 1000 tons per day." He said such "new production of
ammonia, (which) comes into operation in quantum amounts (may create) surpluses
for short periods."
Mr. Lattin told the fertilizer industry executives "you must not let temp-
orary surpluses scare you into storm cellars. With two-thirds of the world
hungry, your leadership is required to keep fertilizer production growing. The
alternative is chaos. The dislocation of our social and economic order could
follow."

"SENSE OF URGENCY" 2.2.2
Mr. Lattin said that Kellogg, a division of Pullman Incorporated, has
"supplied ammonia technology to fertilizer producers in 26 nations." These
include more than 100 large-scale (600 tons a day or more) plants, of which
approximately half are in operation; half are in differing stages of design,
engineering or construction.
Unique Relationship
The Kellogg executive said the relationship between the design, engineer-
ing and construction industry and the fertilizer industry is "unique. Normally,"
he said, "the role of our industry is to engineer, design, and construct a
plant following the guidelines of the producer. In contrast, you have allowed
the engineering and construction firms to develop complete ammonia plants. You
have purchased these with minimum change. While we concentrated on plant devel-
opment, you improved your products and your marketing operations."
Mr. Lattin said "the results have been mutually beneficial. We have developed
standardized ammonia plant designs suitable for a variety of locations, worldwide.
These plants have high onstream factors. Their annual production is in excess of
design capacities. (Their) reliability is excellent."
This has meant "organizations with small technical staffs have been able to
buy large ammonia plants with confidence."
/more-- -
"SENSE OF URGENCY" 3.3.3
Stressing that "standardization has not meant freezing of design," the
Kellogg president pointed out that "design improvements on newer plants have
increased production 15 to 25 percent (and) operating costs have been re-
duced." He cited a trend for large plants which "has been evident since the
mid 1960's" and indicated 1500-ton-a-day plants are not uncommon now. In the
"non-market countries where decisions are made by the national planners,
several are pushing for larger ammonia plants. Three thousand tons per day
or more is their objective."
Gas Is Best Feed
Mr. Lattin told his audience that "natural gas is the best feedstock for
ammonia production in every respect. Naphtha," he said, "is the second best
feedstock, but will become increasingly expensive, as it is a raw material for
petrochemical production and a component of gasoline.
"Fuel oil and coal are future alternate feedstocks," the Kellogg official
said, pointing out that "we are giving considerable attention to producing
ammonia via partial oxidation of fuel oil and through coal gasification." He
said these alternates "offer no insurmountable technical problems, but they
will present economic disadvantages."
Comparing the various feedstocks, Mr. Lattin said that, "using 100 as the
cost of a gas feed plant, we estimate that a partial oxidation plant will be
140 and a coal feed plant will be in the range of approximately 200 to 225."
For a natural gas fed plant, "a conservative schedule from contract award
to completion is 36 months. The partial oxidation plant would require 48
months. A plant based on coal would need five years or more."
FORD & LIBRARY GERALD
/more--
"SENSE OF URGENCY"...4.4.4
The official said plant staff requirements are substantially different,
too. "The partial oxidation plant roster will be 40 percent greater than
the gas plant. The staff of the coal-based plant will be twice the size."
Furthermore, "land requirements for the gas feed plant are about four acres
versus eight for the partial oxidation and twelve for the coal feed plant."
The Kellogg president urged "that fertilizer production should have the
first priority on the allocation of natural gas. To use any other feedstock
will increase the cost of fertilizer production and, thereby, the cost of
food worldwide."

FOR RELEASE JUNE 10, 1975
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., June 10, 1975 -- Even at increased prices,
natural gas remains the most efficient feedstock for nitrogen fertilizer pro-
duction, according to the head of one of the world's largest chemical construc-
tion firms.
Clark P. Lattin, Jr., president, The M. W. Kellogg Company, Houston, Texas,
a division of Pullman Incorporated, told industry executives at The Fertilizer
Institute Marketing Conference here that natural gas is the best feedstock for
ammonia production in every respect.
"To use any other
...
will increase the cost of fertilizer production, and
thereby the cost of food, world wide," he said, and added that fertilizer pro-
duction thus should have first priority on gas allocation.
Ammonia production, from which nitrogen fertilizers are derived, requires
fewer BTU's using natural gas technology than alternate feedstocks, heavy fuel
oil or coal. Plant costs in using fuel oil for ammonia production is 40 per
cent more expensive than use of natural gas even at higher projected prices.
Estimated plant costs in use of coal gasification for ammonia production are
more than double those where natural gas is used, Lattin said.
Also, he noted, plant construction time favors utilization of natural gas.
A conservative time schedule for completion of an ammonia plant using gas tech-
nology is about 36 months, Lattin said. For a fuel oil partial oxidation plant,
he estimated the time to completion at 48 months and for a coal-based plant, five
years or more.

"There is a big difference in plant staff requirements, too," Lattin said.
The partial oxidation plant would require 40 per cent larger staff than a natural
gas-based plant. "The staff for a coal-based plant would be twice the size."
Land requirement for the gas feed plant is about four acres, Lattin noted,
versus eight acres for a fuel oil-based plant and 12 acres for the coal feedstock
facilities.

KELLOGG PYROLYSIS FURNACE UPS ETHYLENE PRODUCTION 10-20%;
REACTION RESIDENCE TIME A TENTH THAT OF CONVENTIONAL UNITS
Yorkshire, England, June 17... The commercially-proved Kellogg-Idemitsu Millisecond
Furnace has been shown to have the shortest reaction residence time of any commer-
cially-available pyrolysis furnace -- as much as ten times shorter than conventional
units now in operation.
The Kellogg-Idemitsu pyrolysis furnace has a critically short contact time of
from three hundredths to one tenth of a second, compared with the 0.25 to 0.35 sec-
onds required in other furnaces -- even those accepted in the industry as short-
residence-time units.
Operating at a temperature of 1650° to 1700° Fahrenheit, the furnace, proved in
operation in Japan, can increase ethylene yields by ten to 20 percent over those
obtained with conventional cracking, while achieving high yields of propylene and
other valuable co-products, and significantly reducing methane yields; hence energy
requirements are reduced.
These data were revealed here today at a symposium on high-temperature reaction
engineering conducted by the Institution of Chemical Engineers.

KELLOGG PYROLYSIS FURNACE 2.2.2
Bernard P. Ennis, M. W. Kellogg process manager, said that operating exper-
ience has shown that "it is apparent that, for a fixed feedstock quantity, more
product revenue can be generated by the Millisecond Furnace than by a conventional
pyrolysis furnace.
"Also," he said, "if a high-severity operation is desired, then a fixed
quantity of ethylene can be produced from less feedstock. Reduced tail gas saves
cracked gas compression horsepower and recovery section costs also decrease when
using Kellogg Millisecond Furnace technology. Tests on high-sulfur gas oil feed-
stocks
are planned for the future."
The paper, co-authored by Harold B. Boyd, manager of organic chemical process-
ing, and Raymond Orris, process manager, concluded that, "with the successful
commercialization of the Millisecond Furnace, Kellogg has now extended the range of
pyrolysis."
The operating data were obtained from a 25,000-ton-a-year commercial furnace
conceived and designed by Kellogg and constructed as an addition to Idemitsu Petro-
chemical Company's Number 2 ethylene plant at Tokuyama, Japan. At the time of its
installation, the furnace was comparable in size to most pyrolysis furnaces commer-
cially available.
The results were obtained, Kellogg engineers revealed, applying state-of-the-
art technology, and the furnace did not require "exotic" materials of construction.
The M. W. Kellogg Company, Houston, a division of Pullman Incorporated, now
offers the Millisecond Furnace, in conjunction with Kellogg's ethylene process
technology. Detailed furnace design is provided by Heat Research Corporation,
Houston.

FOR RELEASE: UPON RECEIPT
FOURTH AMMONIA PLANT
ACCEPTED BY U.S.S.R.
A fourth fertilizer ammonia plant in the Soviet Union, engineered and supplied by
Toyo Engineering Corporation of Japan using M. W. Kellogg technology, has gone into
operation, has met its performance guarantees, and has been accepted. The 1500-ton-a-
day ammonia plant at Novgorod, approximately 150 kilometres southeast of Leningrad, is
one of five for which Kellogg has provided knowhow to the Soviets through Toyo Engineering.
In announcing the plant's acceptance, James A. Petrie, senior vice president of The
M. W. Kellogg Company, said "the successful completion of yet another facility in the
Soviet Union illustrates how international cooperation can work. Here, capabilities from
three nations -- Kellogg technology from the United States, Toyo engineering from Japan,
and indigenous construction in the Soviet Union -- were brought to bear in the world's
fight for increasing food supplies."
Besides the Novgorod plant, Kellogg has provided technology, through Toyo, for one
unit in Severodonetsk; one in Nevinnomyssk; and two in Novomoskovsk, one of which is
nearing completion. All others are onstream and have been accepted. The Soviets handled
construction on all five plants, with Toyo construction advisory service, and Kellogg
assistance during startup.
The M. W. Kellogg Company, Houston, is a division of Pullman Incorporated.

SERVICE CENTER: The five-year service awards in Houston increased dramatically during the past few months as the company passed the five-year anniversary of the move of its

during the move to Houston. Vacations and the heavy work schedule kept many from attending this photo session at Greenway Plaza.

Dear Sheelagh,
I have only just returned from the West Coast
and this is a belated note of thanks for your in-
valuable help as a member of the Organizing Committee
for the Houston visit of the CCPIT delegation.
The program you organized and the arrangements
you made gave the Chinese a marvelous introduction
to Houston and particularly to the petroleum industry.
And of course, we all warmly appreciated the Houston
hospitality and the opportunity to get to know you
personally.
I do hope our paths will cross again soon.
Again, many thanks for everything.

Dear Mr. Buyyn:
I certainly enjoyed the opportunity of seeing you
last fall with the CCPIT delegation.
I am taking the liberty of attaching the general
minutes of a discussion I had with Mr. Tsui, Managing Director
of the Technical Import Corporation. These remarks were
not solicited by me. I have kept the minutes general, but
Mr. Tsui did mention your company by hame, since you were
the first U.S. company to sell a complete plant to China.
He also mentioned that they had had good intercourse with
your President during his visit to China. He did not direct
any specific criticism towards Kellogg, but thought I
should convey to you the general remarks he did make.
I hope this information is useful to you and we
would be glad to discuss the situation with you. I really
was quite surprised that Mr. Tsui launched into this mono-
logue at our first meeting but, as you know, contact between
the U.S. Government and the Corporations is quite limited
and they are probably using us as a kind of conduit in
this case, and we are passing this on to you in this spirit.
Sincerely,
