Show Ammonia Plant For Utah Is A Possibility Utah Chemical Co., headed by a group of Salt Lakers, has asked the National Production Administration for an amortization amortiza-tion certificate for a proposed $18,825,000 ammonia plant in south central Utah, it was disclosed dis-closed Monday. Location of the facility is planned either for the Sanpete Valley or around Nephi, near either Denver and Rio Grande Western or Union Pacific Railroad Rail-road tracks. N. G. Morgan, Jr., president, and Paul T. Walton, vice president presi-dent of Utah Chemical Co., said the NPA certificate request was a preliminary but necessary step in setting up the plant. I The NPA application discloses that Catalytic Construction Co., Philadelphia, Pa., proposes to build the plant. Catalytic is a subsidiary of Houdry Process Corp., a joint affiliate of Sun Oil Co. and M. Eugene Houdry and French 'interests. Utah Chemical apparently apparently hopes to utilize some of the natural gas which may be allotted to Central Utah Utilities Util-ities Co. The latter firm, in. which Mr. Morgan and Mr. Walton Wal-ton also' are interested, has an application before the Utah Public Service Commission for an allocation of gas from Clear Creek Field, Carbon County, Utah. |
