90, ESQ. The total operating cost and fixed
charges for the gas producer plant for the
year is SIG, 282; for the steam plant 81, SlS.
The total saving Ger year by operating the
producer gas plant is given at s5,ll0. With
the increased cost Of the gas producer
plant over the steam plant, Il 10 estimated
that IL would take nineteen months OF
operation Of the producer plant to pay the
difference by saving in operating expenses:
Prof. Fernald finds that there Is no diff
ference In the cost Of a gas producer plant
OF 5000 horsepower and a steam plant or
the same horsepower, the cost being
placed at S420 900. Running these plants
continuously for n year, the gas pro.
ducer plant would require n 600 tons OF
o at $3.50 a ton, or $50, 500, while the
steam plant would consume 1900 tons at a
cost Of Sos 900. The total operating ex-
penses and fixed charges of the 5000 horse"
power gas producer plant are given at si4i,-
IT'S, while the steam engine would cost
s2ls, 5SS. The total saving per year by
operating h gas producer plant Of 5000
horsepower over the same horsepower
