Be it known that l, JEAN Dnnrnwn Unmxr, resident of 37A St. Augustin street, in the city and district of Elontz'enl, in the Province of Quchcn, in the ll ominion oi (:mada, a subject of the King of Great Britain, have inventcd certain'neyi' and useful improvements in Peat-Gas Plants; and I do hcrchy declare that-tho following is a full, clear, and cxiwtidescription of the same.

Tho invention relates to improvements in punt gas plants, as dcscrihcd m the present specification and illustrated in the acwm panying drawings that form part (if H16 same. v

The invention consists essentially in. mixin r air with the gas during the "period of rating the peat and-gathering byproducts from the, gun in its passage to the gasometez" by means of the ,various devices employed and iundrlition augmenting the heat and light properties of the gas.

The objects of tilt-invention are to pro duce a; gas from peat at n'very low cost, to providda gas having good heating and ilutiiize, peat, of which there are. such great quantities, in the most desirable and economical Jorm.

in the drawings, Figure 1 is a diagrammaticview showing the. arrangement of the several parts of the plant. Fig. 2 is a sec tienal detnil'of the rotort,

Like numerals of reference indicate core ending parts in each'figure.

geferring to the drawings, 1 is thc retort ere shown as rotatable and as havin the as egress pipe Qleatling from a, suitable wing in the head ofsaid retort through e gland 3, said cgrcss pipe meeting the 'tationarvpipc 4; in said gland, the latter )ipe 4 having anopcning 5 thereinto.

The stationary 'pipc 4 leads preferably in curvcd direction toth casing 8, the said i using 8 bcing surroumlcd by the water uckct 9 and filled with tar. 10 is the outlet opening from the casing 8. 1 l is the owrfiow opening from said casing.

5 18 the main gas pipe lea 1ng'.fr0m the opening 10 to the gason'ietcr 16 and having the curved. portions 17 and 18 condensation portion of the curved portions having pi M25 '19 openings in the lower an curved sides and said pipes 20 extending-below the-liquid level in the by-proiluci'tanks .21 and 22.

In the operation of this plant, the peat, previously crushed and during crushin satunited with petroleum, is laced in he retort and baked to a coke.' l uring this bak- Y lant, said ing process, the'nir is turned on from the' reservoir 7 or any suitable air supply and passes into the retort throu h the pipe 6, thus becoming-heated, whill: the peat is being baked, and mixing with the as produced during the coking rocess. 'l his-operation is continuous an the gas as produced is constantly flowing out of the in and into the stationary pipe 4 w iencc it flows through the tar or'carbureting chamber contained in the casing .8, the gases passing throu pipe and throu the condensing lengths of the 'pipe to tie asomcter, in passa' e dropping the by-pro ucts into thcby- pro uct tanks 21 and 22.

ceptncle below the liquid ipe 12 having the "qo forming the and from I h said tar into the main The opr'z'ttion is continuous while the coking process is in progress and as the said retort is arranger] to lie-charged without any undue loss of time, the plant may be said to he kept in constant operation during the filling of tho gasomcter or gasom etcrs the case may be.

What I claim as my invention is;

1. In pent gas plants, thc combination with a retort having a suituhlc outlet, of it casing containing a suitablc carburcting chamber having an inlet and outlets, on air pipe leading from n suitublc air supply into said rctori, a pipe lcadin Y from szmlrctort outlet to the inlet of saii casing, a main gas pipe loading from an outlet of said casing, an overflow pi pc lcuding from tho other outlet of said casing, byproduct pipes tapping said main gas pipe, and a gasomctcr;

2. ln pent gas plants, the comh natlon with a retort having a suitable outlet, of a casing.

containing :1 suitable carburetingchamher having :in' inlct and outlets, a water Jacket surrounding said cas1ng,a pipe loading from the remit outlet to said casing inlet-,5 a main gals pipe having condensing curved lengths and Eeading from a casing outlet-{an overflow pipe, from the other casing outlet, by product pipes tapping said mam gas pipe and a gasomctcr.

In a device of the class described, in combination, it retort having an outlet and a pipe loading frornsaid outlet, a stationary pipc lemiin from the aforesaid pipe and suitably pacxed an air pipeleading through the latter pipe mto thccasing an air; reservoir, a tar chamber, a Water jacket around tat chamber, said stationayy pipe 1ead-- 'ing into sand tar chamber, a main gas pipe Emailing from said tar chamber and having by prlociuct tanks,

cohc'iensing lengths, by-prochict tanks, pipes leading from said main gaspipe into said a gasometer, .a'n overflow pipe leading from said tar chamber having a ti up portion intermediate of its length and a receptacle into which said overflow pipe extends.
