in the opinion of YOUR committe.
these are Very good results.
The analysis of the tfue gas shows
excellent combustion averaging 9.25i
per cent coz and less than 49, pei
cent c. o. -
Summing up the results of the test.
there can be absolutely no question
about the capacity, the boiler showing
a fair overload capacity which. M
doubt, can be improved upon and {
high efficiency obtained using fYough.
eougheny screenings.
The plant load is evidently larger
than has been generally assumed an6
it is not to be expected that one boiler
will carry the peak load. unless al
conditions arc right and a good grade

the load will require. while the SECOND
unit is banked and used to make ur
