Synopsis

Excerpt from American Producer Gas Practice and Industrial Gas Engineering In placing before the American industrial world the. following chapters, the author desires to make clear his position. Where he refers to or describes processes, apparatus or inventions operating under patents or otherwise, he has done so merely to explain the predominant systems and illustrate the respective types of apparatus and appliances which are in successful operation at the present time. He in no wise specially recommends any apparatus or instrument herein described or referred to, but places before the reader its description, method of operation, or other data for the purpose of giving information and drawing comparisons. To do so, it was necessary to select from the great variety of apparatus at present manufactured, certain examples which might reasonably be assumed as typical of the class which they respectively represent, and which, as nearly as possible, embody and emphasize the characteristics of that class. It is with the urgent desire to maintain an impartial attitude and to narrate as accurately as possible, without prejudice or undue influence, the various features of gas engineering at present in vogue in the industrial field, that the author has written the following volume. It has been his desire to, as nearly as possible, avoid strictly scientific and technical language, to put before his readers in simple style producer-gas engineering practice, as applied to everyday operations upon a practical and commercial basis, omitting any theorizing and laboratory results unsuited to actual commercial and manufacturing conditions. It is his desire to make this handbook readable to the engineer, operator, and promoter, and to this end he has attempted to present in simple and elementary style the various subjects herein contained. Trusting that the work will be accepted in the spirit here outlined, he sends it out for the consideration of the American industrial world. About t
