Station For Liquid Oxygen
Operation Now Being Built
The first liquid oxygen filling
station ever installed west of the
Mississippi River, by Air Reduc
tion Pacific Co. (Airco) will be
put into operation in Roseburg in
early August.
1 lie new plant, to be operated
under an Airco franchise uy the

oration and Gene Keitzman as vice

The welding supply division of
the firm was stalled on Jan. 1,

Bill Swinford, president of the
Oregon Welding Supply Co., said
installation of this new plant will
provide; increased service facilities
for the firm's clients throughout
southwestern Oregon by elimina
ting the long-distance hauling pres
ently required to bring the oxygen
from Portland to Roseburg.
Liquid oxygen will be shipped
into Roseburg from an Airco plant
in Richmond, Calif. It will arrive
here and be maintained at a tem
perature of 300 degrees below zero,
then put throqgh the heat ex
changer and vaporizer In the new
plant and turned into gas, which
is fed into the tanks distributed by
the firm.
In addition to the Roseburg of
fice, the plant will service Oregon
Welding Supply Co.'s offices in
Medford and Coos Bay, as well
as filling tanks for a Eugene firm.
Swinford said the firm anticipates
handling about a million cubic feet
of oxygen pen month.
One of the greatest advantages of
the liquid oxygen process being
inct.illeri here, he Doints out. is
the space required. Each cubic
foot of liquid oxygen provides 12
cubic feet of gas, thereby taking
up only one-twelfth of the space
required for gas storage.
The plant being installed here
will include I 550,000 cubic foot
tank.'
