An inexpensive Natural
Gasoline Plant

What is claimed to be one W the
cheapest natural gasoline pants
ever built has just been completed By
the Invader oil corporation at its
Burkhurnett refinery.
According to B. Frank Wood.
president Of Invader, this plant has
capacity % 100000 cubic fcot pcr
day and cost complete. $951.34. The
engine that runs the compressor was
salvagcd from burned power house
and put in fivst-class condition at
an expense Of less than $50. The
compressor was secured from a de-
funct company for $3.50 in gasoline.
The condensing coils, making tanks
and traps were made up ont Of old
casing. tubing, drill pipe, etc. with
The compauy's welding outfit. A
good coat OF paint was then applied
and an attractive, efficient little
everything to drill with.
This shows how one company is
meeting the present depression in
the oil industry Such plant
erected n year ago with all new
equipment shipped by express, etc.
would have probably cost from s1O,-
600 to $4,000.

decided that in some manner thcy
