includes pilot-plant studies. Microbiological studies have been applied to 
plant sanitation and sausage making. Pathogens in meats have also been 
studied. The development and production of various therapeutic and phar- 
macological preparations from animal organs have been investigated, including 
some enzyme preparations. Uses for waste products are sought. The Institute 
publishes a Trudy.

Description: 
The research activities of the Institute encompass many areas of 
interest to the petroleum industry. The purification of petroleum fractions 
by a continuous process of absorption separation has been studied. The 
hydrofining of lubricants and the use of sulfurous petroleum products also 
have been investigated. An effort in corrosion research has been mounted, 
and studies of catalysts have been undertaken. 
The macroscopic kinetics of hydrogenation, the oxidation of solid 
hydrocarbons, and the purification of low-molecular-weight paraffins have 
been investigated. Hydrogenation also has been studied relative to the 
production of lubricants of various grades.
