Berry, O C

This patent describes a process of manufacturing producer gas from bituminous fuel by maintaining in that part of the producer immediately above the highest point passed through by the finished gas, in the recirculating type of producer, a temperature sufficient to distill all of the tarry vapors from the fuel. The process consists of drawing a sufficiently large portion of the hot finished producer gas from below up through said body of fuel and then returning the gas, along with these distilled tarry vapors and unmixed with air, into the producer immediately below or into the combustion zone of the fuel column.
