PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Process and Apparatus for Evaporating the Burnt Ale, Špent Lees,
and Residual Products of Distilleries, and for Utilizing the Steam
thereby Engendered for Motive Power.
I, CHARLES CHREE Doig, of Elgin, North Britain, Architect, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows,
The nature of the invention is a pipe conducting the residual products from
the still into a tank entering the tank at the top. From this tank the residual
products pass into a pipe at the bottom of the tank from which pipe they are
pumped into a close tank situated at an elevated position In this last men-
tioned tank is constructed a serica of sieves placed in a box which will retain
the solid matter Through these sieves the liquids force themselves by means
of their own pleasure along a pipe to the still fues which flues they pass round
in pipes formed horse shoe shape. Thereafter the steam is carried out of the
flue in a pipe and escapes by an open valve, if steam power is not wanted!
If steam power is wanted the valve is closed and the steam turned on by a pipe
to the machine producing the motive power

I, CHARLES CHRER DOIG, of Elgin, North Britain, Architect, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement;-

of their own pressure along a pipe to the still flues which flues they pass round
in pipes formed horse shoe shape Thereafter the steam 18 carried out of the
flue in a pipe and escapes by an open valve, if steam power is not wanted.

constructed according to this invention.
Figure 218 a horizontal section (on the line 2-2 Figure 1) but omitting the
stills and showing in plan the pipes which lie above the plane of section.
Figure 3a a local vertical section on the line 3-8 Figures 1 and 2.
a is a closed tank having in it wire gauze screens a¹ of graduated mesh which
serve as filters The tank a 18 supplied by a pipe a' from a feed pump and dis-
charges by a pipę b ccare chimnies and flues leading to them. d d are
the furnaces and (Figure 1) is one of the stills.
The pipe is led round the flues o as shown and is provided with bends and
couplinors b¹ outside the furnace walls to enable it to be readily cleaned. f are
amall pipes connected to the pipe 6 to lead the steam into the steam pipe 9.
The end of the pipe b is open as also are the ends of the pipes hh. The end §¹
of the pipe 9 is closed but the end is open
If however steam power is
required the ends and h are closed and the end 18 connected to the engine
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed; I declare that what
I claim 18-
1 Evaporating the burnt ale, spent léés and residual products of distilleries
by foreing them through pipes in the furnace flues substantially as described.
2. Annaratus for evaporating the burnt ales, spent lees and residual products
of distilleries substantially as described and illustrated in the drawings
Dated this 25th day of October 1898.
