Show 0 production of ice begun this week at t I 1 F brnham gas dome six tons per day production of ice at the late of BIX six tom tons a day began begin this week at the dry ice plant of the carbon and chemical company at the farnham Fa dome south of welling tons ton to F F fixl fox engineer at the plant the present prodie tion is being earned carried on at the site of the dome but in the near future a plant plan will twill probably be constructed at wellington capable of producing ice in arger quantities Acco according to mr fox vice president cm of the company the big gest market for dry ice fee will be in making shipments of perishable goods in refrigerator cars many r i orders have already been received by officials and will bo be filled in the near future he said it is i believed that when tion of the ice is put on a larger basis the price of ice will be pally eally the sage as ordinary ice the price iray ray become cheaper due to the fact that manufacture ie Is elamin abed thug thus cutting down the cost of production another product of the chemical company which ie is finding a ready market is i carbonic carbon le acid geld whish is used in carbonated drinks the sup ply is so plentiful at dome that it takes approximately two minutes to fill a 50 pound container in making the ice caruci dioxide gas which is found in boundless quantities in its natural state at the dome is condensed bv by running it through a solution of brine and cooling this solidifies into a sub stance much the ume game ai as snow it is then pressed in heavy presses where it takes the form of ice fee the only difficulty experienced by the chemists at the dome iwas as purifying the gas although the ite gag gas found at birnham domo dome is 98 per cent pure all till impurities must be rein removed ovea be foro fore it is ready to fo commercial use |
