PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Composition for Use with Fuel.
ALBERT WILLIAM SUMMERS Number 31 William Street, St. Philip's Bristol,
Chemist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A new and useful fuel economizing compound and I do declare that the following
is a full and exact description thereof.
The object of my invention is to produce at small cost a thoroughly efficient
fuel economizing compound, which when applied to coal, coke or wood imparts to
those fuels when in combustion the necessary free oxygen to ensure complete and
perfect combustion, and at the same time to retain the coal gas in the fuel and
cause it to escape gradually so as to obtain the whole of the-heat from its
combustion.
My improved compound or fuel economizer is intended to be applied to coal,
coke or wood in a liquid state, but may be used as a powder and mixed with the
fuel when applied in a liquid state a film or scale is formed on the fuel so treated,
such film or scale is regulated as to its thickness according to the quantity of the
fuel-saving compound used, this film or scale according to its density regulates.the,
combustion.
My improved compound or fuel economizer is composed of common salt, sodium
and potassium. The proportions of the ingredients may be varied widely according
to the effect to be produced, but for ordinary purposes 1 take for each hundred-
weight of the compound to be produced. Sixty pounds of common salt which in
some cases may be dispensed with altogether, fifteen pounds potassium, twenty five
pounds of sodium.
The sodium and potassium are suitably refined and mixed together and when
thoroughly incorporated are mixed with the salt to give it body.
This compound when thus prepared is dissolved in water and sprinkled over the
fuel to be treated and thus imparts its heat producing quality, as well as regulating
the combustion.
Fuel thus treated lasts much longer, gives greater heat, makes less smoke,
prevents clogging of grates and grate bars, clinkers &c. and reduces the cost by
lessening the consumption of fuel.

Chemist 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 :-.

following is a full and exact description thereof.

The object of my invention is to produce at small cost a thoroughly efficient
fuel economizing compound which when applied to coal coke or wood imparts to
those fuels when in combustion the necessary free oxygen to ensure complete and
perfect combustion and at the same time to retain the coal gas in the fuel and
cause it to escape gradually so as to obtain the whole of the heat from its

to coal coke or wood in a liquid state, but may be used as a powder and mixed
with the fuel. When applied in a liquid state a film or scale is formed on the
fuel so treated such film or scale is regulated as to its thickness according to the
quantity of the fuel saving compound used, this film or scale according to its
density regulates the combustion.
My improved compound or fuel economizer is composed of common salt, sodium
and potassium. The proportions of the ingredients may be varied widely according
to the effect to be produced, but for ordinary purposes I take for each hundred-
weight of the compound to be produced sixty pounds of common salt which in
some cases may be dispensed with altogether fifteen pounds potassium and twenty
five pounds of sodium. The sodium and potassium and suitably refiued and mixed
together and when thoroughly incorporated are mixed with the salt to give it body.
This compound when thus prepared is dissolved in water and sprinkled over the
fuel to be treated and thus imparts its heat producing quality as well as regulates
the combustion.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and the manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is―
1. The composition of the compound named above for the purpose set forth.
2. The application of the use of such compound on fuel of all kinds.
Dated this Eighteenth day of February 1895.
