In this image, the lower right along historic Brandywine Creek near Wilmington, Delaware the early DuPont powder mills stand in vivid contrast to the company's Experimental Station, one of the largest centers of research in the world, on the plateau above. It is appropriate that these laboratories should be located so near the first plant, for much of the company's growth can be traced to scientific discovery and its technical application.

Show moreWater flows 40,000 gallons a minute in this Mountain Unit to supply the raw water needs and to operate the closed tube scrubbing process for purifying gases in the making of ammonia by high pressure synthesis at the DuPont Company's Belle, WV Works. Water loaded with impurities picked up from the gases in the scrubbing process is pumped to the hilltop, a rise of 700 feet, is there aerated and then descends by gravity, circulating through a system of 36 inch mains, 2000 feet long. Coal is the main raw materials used at Belle. Air and water are two others. Ammonia and the alcohols are in turn the raw materials for a wide variety of products made at belle and by other industrial producers. These include nylon intermediates from which nylon for textiles and plastics are produced; urea, for fertilizers, cattle feeds, medicinals, adhesives and plastics; nitric acid ; formaldehyde; ethylene glycol; methyl methacrylates for Lucite acrylic resin plastics; Mycoban mold inhibitor; and many others.
