NITROGEN-MAKING IN BRITAIN. A £20,000,000 FACTORY. Six-hundred tons of nitrogen can be obtained each day from (be air at the famous factory controlled by Imperial Chemical Industries at Billingham, England. This in turn produces 2000 tons of artificial fertiliser ammonium sulphate. The history of Britain's great nitrogen plant was referred to by Dr. W. j. Worboys, of Imperial Chemical Industries, who reached Wellington by the Monowai from San Francisco. He is paying his first visit to New Zealand, antf is to be stationed permanently in Australia. The nitrogen (plant, Dr. Worboys told “The Dominion," was first established toy the British Government because of the pressing need for nitrogen in the manufacture of explosives during the Great'War. Later il was taken over toy the firm of Brunner Mond, who first made ammonia at Billingham on Christmas Day, 1923. Six years ago the Imperial Chemical Industries combine was formed by the amalgamation of four great firms, including Brunner Mond, and in 192748 the present plant was installed. More than £20,000,000 had been spent at Billingham. Since the combine had come into existence it had absorbed many firms of varying size, “it is adding to and building-up a structure that is very sound and truly Imperial,” said Dr. Worboys. “Our interests in this part of the world are looked after toy Imperial Chemical Industries of Australia and New Zealand,” lie continued. “We have no manufacturing industries in New Zealand, but that does not say that we will not have them in the future.” Though trade in fertilisers was suffering from the depression, big 1 hopes were pinned on the Ottawa Conference. In the opinion of Dr. Worboys there were great opportunities throughout the Empire for the extended use of artificial fertilisers which had proved themselves conclusively. Within the past three years nitrogen products had been tested successfully on the Canadian prairies and, even at the present price of wheat, their use had been profitable. “Many countries,” he concluded, "are realising the advantages from a strategic point of view in having nitrogen factories of their own in order to ensure a 'sufficiency of the product in time for war. Even China lias considered the need for assured supplies."
