Improvements in Gas Liquor Separators.
I SAMUEL CUTLER, of Providence Iron Works, Millwall, in the County of
London, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
In the manufacture of carburetted water gas the liquids flowing from the washing
apparatus consist not only of water but also of other liquids more or less dense
produced in the process of distillation and the object of this invention is to provide
a means of suitably separating the water from the denser liquids.
In carrying out this invention a large chamber, preferably rectangular in plan,.
has fitted within it a series of baffle divisions extending to within a short distance
of the bottom which is sloped both longitudinally and transversely so that a
channel is formed to conduct the tar to a tar chamber at the lower end. The
effluent from the "washer" or "scrubber" is, admitted at the top of the shallow
end of the chamber and flows slowly between the baffle divisions, depositing the
tar during its progress. It then flows over a central chamber to a sumpt where
the water is withdrawn for re-use. The tar flows by gravitation along the channel
in the bottom of chamber into a receptacle formed at the lower end of the chamber-
and is withdrawn at the required intervals. The levels of the liquids are observed.
by means of suitable indicators or gauges.
Dated this 19th day of December 1895.

I, SAMUEL CUTLER, of Providence Iron Works, Millwall, in the County of
London, Engineer, 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 :-
In the manufacture of carburetted water gas the liquid flowing from the washing
apparatus consists of water mixed with other liquids more or less dense and the
object of this invention is to provide a means of suitably separating the water from
the denser liquids.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings: Fig. 1 is a longitudinal
section on line 4-4, Fig. 2 of an apparatus constructed according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, and Fig. 3 is a section of the outer chamber on.
line 5-5, Fig. 1.
In carrying out this invention a large chamber A has fitted within it a series of
baffle divisions B extending to within a short distance of the bottom of the chamber
which is sloped both longitudinally and transversely so that a channel C is formed.
to conduct the denser liquids to a chamber D at the lower end of the chamber F.

page_text: The liquids to be separated are admitted at the inlet pipe E and flow slowly
between the baffle divisions B and thence over the central chamber F to a sumpt G
where the liquid is withdrawn for re-use. The denser liquids flow by gravitation
along the channel C into the chamber D from which they are withdrawn at
intervals. The levels of the liquids are shown by suitable float indicators or
gauges.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is:
In connection with carburetted water gas apparatus a separator substantially as
described with reference to the drawings.
