GHNERAL-SmOke Causes Defined
SMOKE is THE RESULT OF
IMPERFECT AND INCOMPLETE
BURNING. 1t is caused by the fail
ure TO intimately mix proper
amount Of air, at the proper tempera-
ture. with combustible gases that
are distilled from the fuel.
Il can be prevented by:
/. the use of fuels suited TO the
equipment
2 firing carefully and intelligently
3. selecting proper equipment for
the work to be done-and main
tanning it properly
use of mechanical equipment and
smoke abatement devices
Onst OF Smoke
Considerable saving can be made
n fuel Is burned without excessive
sr~oke. with this In mind II certainly
is worth the effort TO eliminate
smoke, not only for the power plant
