Excerpt from Water-Gas Operating Methods With Central District Bituminous Coals as Generator Fuel: A Summary of Experiments on a Commercial Scale; A Preliminary Report
Of the problems mentioned, the first is often the most difficult one to solve. The uncertainty of the results to be Obtained with an unknown fuel, the lack of a financial incentive to undertake some thing which is new and untried. And which may lead to difficulties or inconveniences, are sufficient to prejudice many gas makers, even before a trial is made.
The superintendent who is about to try a new fuel, and especially a fuel so different from the customary as is bituminous coal, must fit his method of attack to the temperament of his operators. Different methods must be used in different cases. It must be realized that the cooperation of the gas maker must be obtained for good results. A good gas maker senses the behavior of his machine in a manner in comprehensible to the mere technical man, and this peculiar under standing can be utilized to advantage if at the same time the more visible conditions are kept sight of carefully.
It is not the purpose of this paper to tell the superintendent how to handle his men, but merely to suggest how essential to success is their cooperation. It is believed that this can be obtained in any way which makes them feel that it is to their interest to succeed, or that they are believed to be capable of accomplishing something out of the ordinary.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating analysis of the use of coal as fuel in water-gas production. The author, an experienced gas engineer, provides a detailed account of the experiments conducted at the Streator plant, offering valuable insights into the challenges and benefits of using coal instead of coke. Extensive research and practical testing form the foundation of this book, examining the impact of coal's varying sulfur content, size, and coking properties on gas production. The author also explores the effectiveness of different operating methods, such as the blow-run cycle and the use of coal and coke mixtures, in optimizing capacity and efficiency while minimizing smoke and clinker formation. This book is a valuable resource for gas engineers and operators seeking to improve their understanding of coal-based water-gas production, offering practical guidance and a deeper understanding of the processes involved. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
