Enos Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c2124 Chapter pages in book: (p. 299 - 322) Invention and Innovation in the Petroleum Refining Industry JOHN L. ENOS MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AN INNOVATION is the combination of many different activities. Gener- ally an invention is made and recognized, capital is obtained, plant is acquired, managers and workers are hired, markets are developed, and production and distribution take place. As the innovation proceeds the original conception may be altered to make it more amenable to commercial realities. Accomplishing these activities consumes re- sources. At any point in the sequence failure may occur, delaying or even frustrating the innovation. In studying the petroleum refining industry I observed several pro- cessing innovations following one another in time and generating technological progress.' I then sought their origins in terms of the original ideas and the men who conceived them. In this paper I shall discuss the relations between the inventions and the subsequent inno- vations, focusing on the intervals between them, the returns to the inventors and innovators, and the changes in the proportions in which the factors of production in petroleum processing were combined.

  • The Catalytic Development of High Octane Gasoline Lead
    Volume 16 Number 041 Giving Gas a Boost: The Catalytic Development of High Octane Gasoline Lead: In the 1930s, oil companies were struggling to boost the octane of gasoline. Eugène Houdry’s catalytic cracking process made it possible and may have helped win World War II. Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: When it comes from the ground, crude oil is almost useless, a mixture of thousands of different types of hydrocarbons: asphalt to gasoline to natural gas. Each has a different molecular weight, therefore, crude oil must be refined to pull out the impurities such as sulfur compounds and separate different components such as kerosene, gasoline, fuel oil, and so forth. In the 19th century kerosene was the most valuable product because it was used in lamps and for heating. Because it was so unstable, gasoline was often just dumped on the ground or in a nearby stream and natural gas, considered completely useless, was just burned off at the well. By the early 20th century things had changed. Because of the automobile, the most valuable product of crude oil had become gasoline. It, however, was becoming more and more rare as automobiles grew in number and power. The problem was that not all gasoline was the same. Different grades of gas are determined by the level of octane they contain. The scale is 0 to 100. The higher the number the greater the power and the less knocking. In an internal combustion engine, gasoline is combined with air inside a cylinder, it is then fired off by a spark plug, and the resulting explosion creates compression which pushes the cylinder and turns the engine.

  • Chapter 1 PETROLEUM PROCESSING OVERVIEW
    Chapter 1 PETROLEUM PROCESSING OVERVIEW Paul R. Robinson PQ Optimization Services, Inc. 3418 Clearwater park Drive, Katy, Texas, 77450 1. INTRODUCTION The ground begins to rumble, then shake. The hero of the film – a lean ex- cowboy with a square jaw under his hat and a gorgeous brunette on his arm – reaches out to brace himself against his horse. A smile creases his face as the rumbling grows louder. Suddenly, a gush of black goo spurts into the air and splashes down on him, his side-kick and his best gal. They dance with ecstasy until the music swells and the credits start to roll. Why is our hero so happy? Because he’s rich! After years of drilling dry holes in every county between the Red River and the Rio Grande, he finally struck oil. 1.1 History of Petroleum Production So why is he rich? What makes oil so valuable? Actually, crude oil straight from the ground has some value, but not a lot. Table 1 shows the history of petroleum before 1861. Before 1859, oil that was mined or that simply seeped up out of the ground was used to water-proof ships, as an adhesive in construction, for flaming projectiles, and in a wide variety of ointments.1-4 After 1859, petroleum became more and more important to the world’s economy, so important that today, without a steady flow of oil, most human activities on this planet would grind to a halt. Petroleum accounts for 60% of the world’s shipping on a tonnage basis.3 It provides fuels and lubricants for our trucks, trains, airplanes, and automobiles.

E-mail: [email protected]. Heinz Heineman came to Berkeley in 1978 and stayed there for 15 years. This was the time of the energy crisis and we did not have anybody like him who had such a tremendous industrial experience with oil and coal conversion technology and science. He was interested in the conversion of coal to gaseous molecules and our studies with model catalysts appealed to him and attracted him. In a way, Heinz Heineman was bigger than life, since he played such a seminal role in the history of American catalysis science. Running title: Heinemann. The Berkeley Years Keywords: Heinemann, catalysis I. Introduction Catalysis sciences dates back to the 1930ies with Vladimir Ipatieff, Herman Pines, Eugene Houdry, Paul Emmett, Keith Hall and Hugh Taylor, who had established the fundamental phenomena by focusing on motor fuel production by catalytic means, the CO hydrogenation reactions, ammonia synthesis and some of the fundamental phenomena that led to the definition of active sites in heterogeneous catalysis. This period was followed by the industrial might of the petroleum industry, Vladimir Haensel of Universal Oil Products Co, Jules Rabo of Union Carbide, Otto Beeck at Shell, Paul Weiss at Mobile, John Sinfelt at Exxon, Tom Hughes at Chevron, and others, who focused on catalytic conversion of fuels to high-octane gasoline and diesel fuels.

The printing of the Chronology was made possible by a publishing grant which the Detroit Public Library received from McGregor Fund. On behalf of educational institutions and individual users who will benefit through the issuance of this publication, the Library wishes to acknowledge its own and their indebtedness to McGregor Fund for invaluable and considerable financial assistance realized through this grant. INTRODUCTION As PART OF ITS CONTRIBUTION to the celebration of Detroit's 250th anni- versary, the Library undertook the preparation of a Chronology for the period 1701 to 1951. The object of the Chronology is to show Detroit in its world setting, so that events in Detroit can be viewed in the light of events of national and international importance and these larger happen- ings in turn as reflected in Detroit. "Detroit in its world setting - a 250 year chronology - 1701-1951" Page | 1 | of 296 Since the Chronology covers so many years and so many subjects, each item is obviously brief and great selectivity was necessary in choosing the events to be included.
