The initial installation of a coke‐fired gas producer for manufacturing gas for firing silica brick in the United States is described in detail. The advantages of cold, clean gas over dirty gas are pointed out with clarity. The features of the automatic operation are set forth, showing that a better grade of constant volume and pressure gas can be produced. Operating data of a plant on million cubic‐foot basis gives the power, coke, and water consumption.
