Newest Navy Destroyer

Welcomed To PortBy MIDDY RANDERSON

TheNavy’s USS HEWITT, the largestgeneral purpose destroyer ever to fly theflag of the United States, made the Portof Houston her very first port of call lastmonth just four days after she was com-missioned.

The ship, designed and built by In-galls Shipbuilding Division of Litton In-dustries of Pascagula, Mississippi, is amember of the first major class of sur-face ships in the U.S. Navy to be pow-ered by gas turbine engines.

Four General Electric LM-2500 en-gines, marine versions of those used on

DC-10 and C5A aircraft, drive the shipat speeds in excess of 30 knots. Twincontrollable-reversible pitch propellersgive the HEWITT a degree of maneu-verability unique among warships of hersize.

A multi-purpose destroyer, the HEW-ITT is capable of operating indepen-dently or in company with amphibiousor carrier task forces. Her overall lengthis 563-feet with a beam of 55-feet and7,800-ton displacement.

The ship’s primary mission is to op-erate offensively in an antisubmarine

warfare role. She is the fourth SPRU-ANCE class destroyer to come off theways and is the third destined for thePacific Fleet. She will be homeported inSan Diego and is assigned to CruiserDestroyer Group Five and DestroyerSquadron Nine.

Sonar aboard the HEWITT is themost advanced underwater detection andfire control system yet developed. It isfully integrated’ into a digital NavalTactical Data System, providing theship with faster and more accurate proc-essing of target information.

Ship’s weapons include two Mark 45lightweight five-inch guns, two triple-barrel Mark 32 torpedo tubes, an anti-submarine rocket launcher (ASROC),and landing facilities for two antisub-marine helicopters.

Automated weapons and engineeringsystems allow this ship, the size of aWorld War II light cruiser, to operateefficiently with a crew and officer com-plement of only 264 men.

The HEWITT is designed to providecrewmembers with the maximumamount of comfort. Berthing compart-ments are spacious and amenities includea crew’s library, lounge and gymnasium,not found aboard other destroyers.

The ship is named for Admiral H.Kent Hewitt, a four-star admiral who re-ceived the Navy Cross twice during his46 years as a Naval officer.

As the ship entered the Houston ShipChannel, she was boarded by membersof the news media and several NavyROTC cadets from area colleges. All

Atlantic RichfieldExpands Refinery

By BUDDY BECKSpecial Correspondent

Atlantic Richfield Company has com-pleted a modernization and expansionprogram at its Houston Refinery whichhas increased crude oil capacity from213,000 to 306,000 barrels per day. Thenew facilities were designed to result inless air and water pollution than beforethe expansion in crude oil capacity.

The huge project, which started inlate 1973, signals a milestone for bothAtlantic Richfield and the Port of Hous-ton. While the Houston Ship Channeland the Port of Houston gain a moreefficient, cleaner facility within their en-virons, the Refinery gains the ability toprocess more high sulfur "sour" crudeoil.

Since the world’s supply of crude oilis dwindling and new "sweet" crudediscoveries are rare, the company real-ized that the new facility would have tobe designed accordingly. The companyalso planned an expansion of its petro-chemical production and the increasedcrude capacity will supply feedstocks forchemical operations.

Several major units were constructedand improvements in other vital areasof the refinery were completed. Newfacilities included: a 140,000 barrelper day sour crude unit (a 40,000barrel per day unit was shutdown);


These are not rockets set to explore space, butthe new crude oil unit that can handle 140,000barrels daily.

three hydro-desulfurization unitsfor removing sulfur from products; two375,000 pounds per hour steam genera-tors with associated water treating equip-ment; two 175 ton per day sulfurrecovery units and an Atlantic Richfield-designed tail gas unit to reduce sulfurdioxide emissions, and improved gaso-line treating facilities. There were 66miles of pipe used* in the expansion toconnect the units into the existing plantfacilities.

Allan Muse, Refinery Manager, said,"The modernization program is one ofthe most effective steps we can take tomeet the demand for petroleum prod-ucts."

Muse stresses that while "new processoperations and equipment are important,the Refinery’s greatest asset is its em-ployees. New jobs created have givenmany young people an opportunity towork and grow with a diversified com-pany."

Atlantic Richfield has made a majorinvestment in its Houston Refinery, aninvestment in the future, building nowfor the decade to come and beyond.

The increasingly important petro-chemical industry is supplied vital feed-stocks from the refinery. These include:

Ethylbenzene to ARCO Polymers.

Butane for ARCO Chemical Com-pany’s (at Channelview) Houdry units,and liquid feeds to the new Olefins unitsthere.

All these petroleum derived raw ma-terials, plus products to the general pub-lic, such as gasoline, heating oil andmotor oil, come from the Refinery.

Environmental safeguards added inthe modernization included:

¯ A stormwater control system tocollect stormwater from the 700-acreplant. Collected stormwater will betreated to prevent the discharge of con-taminated runoff to the Houston ShipChannel.

¯ New Storage tanks with coveredfloating roofs to minimize hydrocarbonemissions to the air.

¯ High efficiency sulfur recoveryunits to reduce sulfur emissions into theair.

¯ Amine scrubbers to reduce sulfuremissions from heaters and boiler andto reduce the naturally present sulfurin refinery products.

¯ Separate storm and oily watersewer systems on new and existing unitswere built.

¯ Pumpout systems constructed toprevent hydrocarbon contamination in

the sewer system and the resulting vaporemissions.

In conjunction with reducing energyconsumption in industrial operations,the modern facilities were built to mini-mize energy consumption per barrel ofcrude feed.

Tied in with the modernization arethe new dock facilities, consisting ofthree docks which have all the latestenvironmental protection equipment toprevent contamination spills into thewaters around these docks. The docksprovide fast unloading of crude oils andother specialty products into the Re-finery. They also are designed to handlethe specialty products coming out of therefinery, as well as gasoline, heatingoil and No. 6 fuel oil. Crude oil can beunloaded over the dock facilities at ratesup to 20,000 barrels per hour.

A new laboratory was built which in-corporates the improved technology thathas advanced in laboratory analysesduring the past few years. It is a mod-ern laboratory, equipped with the latestinstruments to analyze for minute quan-tities of contaminants in refined prod-ucts.

Also, the laboratory can monitor veryhigh purity materials that are needed

for certain chemical feedstocks. This fa-cility, while not directly a part of theexpansion, was a necessary function dueto the increased production and com-plexity of the Refinery.

Pipelines are a vital part of the Re-finery operations for bringing in crudeoil and shipping out products. The mainpipelines coming into the plant are theRancho, a 20-inch line from East Texas,and a Grade A crude pipeline for spe-cialty lube crudes. Several years ago, allof the crude supplies came into the re-finery by pipeline, however, now onlyabout 100,000-150,000 barrels arrivedaily by pipeline. The balance of crudeoil is received by ship or barge.

Besides the crude oil lines coming in,the refinery is connected to severalproduct lines which transport productsto many points, some as far away asChicago and New York City.

A top team of experts, from withinAtlantic Richfield and outside the com-pany, joined in the complicated assign-ment of modernization, which was ac-,¢omplished while the refinery continuedto operate at near capacity.

From the refinery’s own EngineeringDepartment, Jim Blume was namedproject manager of the program. Other

key men included Les Smith, managerof the refining section, who, with his de-partment, put most of the units on lineand will be operating most of the unitsfollowing modernization; W. D. (Dub)Haney, Jr., Manager of Refinery Tech-nology, and Tom Rieser, Project Man-ager for the dock modernization.

The first step in original planning forthe program took place at the Com-pany’s Harvey Technical Center in Illi-nois where a series of process designstudies were undertaken.

Bechtel, Inc., was awarded the job ofmechanical design, procurement andconstruction for the major process unitsand was named prime contractor for aportion of the support process units, util-ities and other ancillary units.

The Ralph M. Parsons Company wasthe prime contractor for the Sulfur Re-covery Unit.
