IN 1910 the consumption of
gasoline in the United States
approximated seven hundred
and fifty million gallons. In
1920 the consumption of gas
oline was well over four billion
gallons.
This tremendous increase in
demand came with a spectac
ular suddenness, which strained
the resources of the petroluem
industry.
To meet it the Burton process was
developed in the laboratories of the
Standard Oil Company (Indiana).
While no claim is made that the Burton
process is wholly responsible for the in
creased efficiency of refining practices,
the fact remains that without it the
tremendous increase of gasoline from
crude oil would have been impossible.
In 1910 the average recovery of gasoline
from the crudes of the United States
was approximately 11 percent; in 1920
this average had been increased to up
wards of 30 percent,
While this Company was producing
gasoline in sufficient quantities to meet
the ever - increasing demand upon its
facilities, it also was confronted with
the necessity of finding a market for the
vast number of products made from that
Cart of the petroleum which could not
e converted into gasoline.
New uses for these by-products had to
be found or created if gasoline were to be
relieved of more than its just share of the
cost of refining, thereby keeping the price
of this fuel within the reach of all
It required all the knowledge, experience,
skill, resourcefulness, ingenuity, and
technical ability which the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) could bring into play.
The Company has a just pride in its
success in finding added fields of use
fulness for old by-products, as well as
for having developed new by-products
of use and value.
Thus does the faithfulness of a big insti
tution, fortified by science, ability, and a
will to be truly useful, function to the
advantage of all.
