(Srjeciali So successful hug been the process discovered and performed by Frof, O. F. Stafford, head of the Univer sity of Oregon chemistry depart ment, for the utilization of waste wood m the production of charcoal and wood distillation products, that one ot tne two big corporations util izing this method. on a commercial scale will soon increase the capacity of its plant. i This company is the Tennessee1 tEastman Corporation, a subsidiary of the Eastman Kodak company. The plant, located at Kingsport, Tcnn-, has a capacity at present of 200 cords daily. This will be increased with the installation of new equip ment, according to word that reach ed the campus this week. Since Prof. Stafford and the firm of Boston engineers behind him demonstrated that his process was Sractieable commercially, leading the astman corporation to establish an industrial center at Kingsport, there has been a: marked development at the Tcbnessoe city. A- village, con sisting of thrity-one modern houses, iWUi constructed for employees of the plant. The village will:-house loo persons. Besides , the construe lion of the village, a great' deal of construction work has been; under taken in the plant itself. Prof. Stafford was in Kingsport during the entire period of the installation of the retorts and other equipment, and this work was undertaken under his directions and the tests were made under his supervision. . .r ' ; Solid, liquid and gaseoUs products obtained by the Stafford process are utilized. The Tennessee Eastman )lant attaches its greatest . impor tance ' to the acetone and alcohol which are used in the manufacture of nhotwrranhic films, but the char-1 coal and the minor by-producus find ready market. . "The fine -. charcoal screenod out. of i the graded material is utilized hy moulding it into - briquets," says an account . of production under the Stafford process i'n . a. recent issue of the Kingsport Times. "The briq. nete ro not under the ' name of 'charkets.'- Thene charkets are util ized in a varietv of ways. A con- siderable percentage of the output is burned in broilers in-dining cars and hotel restaurants.' The charkets have been found to be especially well adapted to the heating of fruit cars, for while they produce an intense neat iney ni me same lime proouce no odor of any kind which would destroy the flavor of the fruit. In fact, it is altogether likely that these charkets will revolutionize, ,the business of fruitl shipping." -. It ; Besides the acetone and wood'-al cohol obtained by the' Stafford pro cess, various .wood oils are produced which are imbued 'with many com mercial possibilities. A market has been found' for them in connection with their value as preservatives liof wood. Other i wood nib aretused in the manufacture , of medicinal, creo sote, guai acol and various desinfec tants." , Until Prof. Stafford perfected his process it hod not been commercially practicable to utilize small - waste wood or mill waste in the carboniza tion and wood distillation industries. Prof. Stafford first began his work on the University campus in 1017 when he set up a semi-commercial scale apparatus. After he had dem onstrated his process scientifically, he went east on leave of absence when a. Boston firm of chemical engineers made a proposal to back further pre liminary expeiments. The outcome of these expeiments was iso successful that the Eastman' company was in terested. ' - ; . Prof. Stafford spent the Christ mas holiday period in Boston prepar ing specif icationB for other wood dis tillation developments. CHAIN l'ltOSI'l-XT tiOOIl. HllJ-SliOHO, Ore ,Fcl.
