The byelections in three Winnlpeg-area ‘ridings — Fort Rouge, Rosamere and River Heights —are the firat electoral test for the government since the Oct. ll, 1977 general election. But Lyon, in launching a Si-day election campaign, rejected any suggestions that the byelection results will be a barometer of his governmert’s controversial economic performance. Lyon said he is prepared for tough criticlsm from the Wew Democratic Party, but ‘he felt sure “Intelligent” voterg, wolibes ae the portion # as “com- peteNevf-bage,” , Imperial's research department, said in an in- terview that the Exxon group af compantes pool all research. . Twenty professionals with Imperial in Sarnia handle all Exxon reseatch in lubricating-cll proceases, In return for such activity, Imperlal geta free access to Exxon discoveries else- where. Tiedje noted that Imperial also developed the current lubricant extraction process based on phenol and the firat such plant was at Sartia in 1938, EXOL‘N is belng used at seven Exxon plants around the world, including one at Edmonton, and Exxon now is turning its attention to selling the process, The speech, providing the first public description of the process in scientific details, would allow others to develop it on thelr own, Tiedje sald. But it would be less costly, quicker, and ¢enerally “moresensible”' ta buy Exxon's complete details and engineering help. ‘A similar Texaco process may become a competitor for EXOL-N, but Texaco’s practical experience with it is‘ far more limited, being only a tiny percentage of the 5.5 million tons of feedstock which Exxon treats annually with EXOL-N. EXOL-N, Sankey said, may wholly replace the two solyents currently used in lubricants extraction — phenol and furfural. . He said phenol is highly toxic, cauaing serious burns oi: skin’ contact, while ‘fur- fural is unstable at higher temperatures and much of it is lost when it reacts with oll and decomposes. Among the additional effl- clencies available with exolan, he sald, are net energy savings of 20 to $0 per tand the ability to make during operations of a far higher safetyfactor. Answering questions from a number of delegations, Sankey sald'the cost of NMP, the key ingredient In the process, is much higher than the two existing solvents. In the United States, phenol costs 35: cents a pound, furfural 55 to 60 and NMP $1, ‘! toe eon Tiedje said later that NMP is easily disposed of and-none would leave the plant.; 4akeloe MOTOR HOTEL | os s\es are Po SAVE FIVE DOLLARS ‘While Dining with a Friend —te MONDAY thr Fanny's 4920 LAKELSE AVE.
