MMM.tY fcnerI SniieriiiteiMlrnt tum tin Corp. ttt Orefrn Much interest has been taken by all residents in the operation of the gas plant which has just been completed in thi.s city by the Natural Gaa Corporation of Oregon, particularly as this is an entirely new service in this area. The construction of these plants has only been un-. dertaken following a careful study and survey made by,. engineers of Standard Man-' atfement and Operating Cor-; poration. who have been in direct charge of construc tion work, and are believed to be an improved type over those generally in use in other parts of the country, SOLVES PROBLEM This survey was under taken bv N'attiral flaa Cnr- poration of Oregon in ap-1 y Bill i . .TTy-dy precision of the jrreat need ch"'c!" v- . , for such a service in the,ope1d "r -the .Natural c, c.rPo. many communities through-! rV'on ot 0reon , ""i"" ,h out the Pacific Coast who 'an, " ' " were denied gas service due i to the high cosl of build-!

IIH. III. Y COMl'RKSSt.O First. this butane gas Is taken from the stills where gas oline Is. being made, and then shipped in - liquified form via tank cars to the community in which it is to be served. These lank cars are ot the high press ure type, of heavy steel construc tion and of approximately lo.ouu gallons rapacity. An interesting tact com-iuTiing this gas. is that enough liquified gas is com pressed iulo one ot these tank cars to fill a train of tank cars 15 4 miles long with the gas in its vaporized form! As these tanks arrive, they are placed on a siding at the gas plant and unloaded into a butane storage tank. If the atmosphere pressure is not sufficient lo force the liquid from the tank car. a line may be connected from thel kiu,kc uuiun to me Tupiri - ."'"u "I'uic .uuill file 11UUIU 111 the tank, which will force the liquid from the tank -car into the storage tank at a pressure of about 75 pounds per square inch. In general, the pressure within the tank car varies from m pounds to i'U pounds per square inch. HKATIXt; 1'I.AXT Kuch tank is equipped with a gauge to indicate the contents, which Is never allowed to fall below a two weeks' supply for the community which is being served. I'nder this tank Is an electric al heating device which heats the liquid to the vaporization point.! wnen the temperature falls to such an extent as to make this necessary.
