Pierson, H M

This patent describes a method of making illuminating gas by blowing up a body of fuel to substantial incandescence and making therein producer gas. The producer gas is passed through a body of bituminous coal which forms a substantially vertical continuation of the heated body of fuel. The process continues by heating up the said fuel, adding air to the producer gas beyond this body of bituminous coal and burning the same and so heating up a fixing chamber. From here it involves closing off all the air and introducing steam and passing the same through the body of incandescent fuel, decomposing the steam and forming water gas and passing the said water gas through the body of bituminous coal for the extraction of the chemical substances therefrom and the production of a fuel coke. Liquid hydrocarbon is extracted and vaporized and taken up by the decomposed steam or water gas in transit through the coke and bituminous coal. The said gases are conveyed and commingled in the presence of the stored-up heat of the fixing chamber, and then conveyed away to a suitable receptacle.
