Developing FPC Technology 



During 1968 the following accomplishments highlighted the FPC develop- 

 ment program : 



— establishment of a special FPC office in BCF; 



— completion of process development for extraction of FPC from lean 

 fish at laboratory scale and preparation of provisional specifications 

 and engineering data for the full-scale demonstration plant; 

 — award of a contract, as authorized by P.L. 90-549, for design, 

 construction, and operation of a 50-ton per day FPC demonstration 

 plant at Aberdeen, Washington, which is intended to demonstrate
