EMENT,, With Fast Growing,tial Development

The resulting slurry, 41 per cent mois-ture in content, is pumped into one ofthree tanks, 55 feet in diameter by 45feet high. Each holds enough slurry for24 hours’ operation of the two kilns.

From the tanks, the slurry is pumpedto the feed end of giant kilns into whichit is fed at a predetermined rate by aFerris wheel feeder. The kilns are 12feet in diameter by 450 feet in lengthwith a slope of "~-inch per foot; theirdaily capacity is 4,500 barrels each.

As the raw mix passes through theslowly-rotating kilns, it is graduallyheated to a temperature of 2,750 de-grees F. Chemical changes take place toproduce caMum silicates, which formthe base of the cement. These pellet-sized lumps, called clinker, are dis-charged from the kilns at approximately2,000 degrees F. Agitation of the 6-footby 100-foot coolers and forced air coolsclinker to 125 degrees F.

JANUARY, 1960

These big kilns are 12 feet in diameter and

Clinker is conveyed from the coolersto one of eight concrete clinker storagesilos which also serve as finish mill bins.Interstice bins are used for the storageof gypsum, which is added at about fiveper cent of total quantity to control set-ting time.

Clinker and gypsum are proportionedautomatically and fed to the finish grindmills, which are similar in size to theraw mills and are motivated by similar2,000-h.p. motors.

Finished cement is conveyed to stor-age silos. There are 21 concrete silos, 26feet in diameter and 93 feet high, and12 interstice bins, having a total ca-pacity of 216,000 barrels.

Adjacent to the storage silos is thepackhouse. Here are facilities for pack-ing and loading rail cars with sack ce-ment. Facilities also are available forloading bulk rail cars and for loadingbarges or boats at the waterfront.

Nearly two-fifths of all shipmentsfrom Houston are barged through theship channel to deliver cement for fur-ther distribution from Ideal’s terminalsat New Orleans and Lake Charles, La.

If the kiln is the "heart" of the in-dustry, the instrument panel in the con-trol room of the Houston plant is the"brains." The control room attendant is

450 feet long and produce 4,500 barrels each day.

headquartered in a quiet, air-conditionedroom above the burning room floor. Theinstruments which control all phases ofprocessing cement are at his fingertips.He needs only to press a button to makea necessary adjustment. Around theclock, a television camera focused intoeach kiln clearly shows what is happen-ing inside.

The instrument board is dMded intonine sections, each section being a com-plete unit within itself to control onephase of the operation.

The Ideal plant in Houston uses muchelectricity to power the motors which intm’n run the big machines. Ideal’s con-sumption of oyster shells is about 2,100tons daily. Enough natural gas is con-sumed in a continuous 24-hour opera-tion each day to heat the average Hous-ton home more than 150 years.

At the same time, the Houston plant,which is located in the midst of homes,shoulders a double responsibility of aid-ing the economy and helping maintainpleasant surroundings.

Dust collection systems located at themills, the kilns, and loading places costmillions of dollars to install and main-tain, but keep the atmosphere dust-freeand help keep the Houston Ship Channelcommunity a good place to live.

JAPAN OPENSA STEADILY GROWING two-way

trade through the Port of Houston andconfidence in lhe continued growth ofthis commerce were the motivating fac-tors in the re-opening here of a consul-ate by the governmenl of Japan.

Thus says Shigeaki Yamashita, vel-eran Japanese foreign service officerwho opened Ihe new office in mid-Dee-ember in the Texas National BankBuilding. There had been no Japaneseeonsulale here since hate 1911 eighteenyears ago.

"1! is the opinion of Japanese manu-faclurers and businessmen that Houslonand Ihe Gulf Coast area have by far lhegreatesl trade and industrial potential ofany olher part of Ihe entire [TniledStates." Yamashita said. "Mv purposewill be 1o work for a conlinued increasein trade bet~.~een Hous!on and Japan inthe mt, tual in!erests of both."

In ten years, since 19.18. imporlsIhrough Houslon from Japan went from51/2 thousand tons wtlued at $16,000 Iosome 87 thousand tons xalued at $11!,2million. Figures released recently by theJapanese governmenl show more iradebelween Texas and Japan than any otherslate.

Tanks CleanedBy New MethodUsing Vapors

A revolutionary method for removingoil residue from the inside of tanks onseagoing vessels was demonstrated at theManchester Docks in Houston recently.

The cleaning process was carried outon the Velma Lykes, a C-2 type, ownedby Lykes Bros. Steamship Co., Inc. Thefour deep tanks on the Velma Lykeswere scheduled to take on hydrogenatedsoybean oil, an edible product of ex-tremely high quality; thus all contami-uants in the tank, principally oil residueand tar, had to be removed.

The new cleaning technique, developedby James F. Spaht of Baton Rouge andreferred to as the "Vapor Phase Clean-ing Process," was used on two of thefour tanks. This provided a direct com-parison with results obtained by con-ventional cleaning methods used on theother two lanks.

Spaht pointed out that the cleaningprocedure consists of completely fillingthe tank with heavier than air non-com-bustible chlorinated solvents, allowingthe solw’nt vapors to condense on thetank walls and internals where extrac-tion of the contaminants takes place;pumping the dirty solvent outside thetank where it is re-evaporated and sep-arated from the contaminants beforebeing returned to the tank to completethe cycle. When complete cleaning is ef-fected, which requires only a few hours,the solvent vapors within the tank arecooled by water quenching and returnedto storage for further use. The tank isfreed of residual solvent vapors bysteaming.
