Show DRY ICE PLANT IS BUILT AT PRICE I 1 price utah feb 10 tests conducted at the farnham dome laboratory of the carbon dioxide rind and chemical company to determine if the cartoon carbon dioxide gas which occurs there in natural formation is pure enough to meet requirements of commercial manufacture of dry ice fee have far been exceedingly favorable according I 1 to word from the dome which is 15 miles from this city these experiments have been conducted lu acted over a period of two weeks and a large number of chemicals is us used ed in the tests have all resulted to advantage an indication of abe purity of if th gas after it has been refined is the fact that a roan man can inhale and ilow how it through his nose some of the chemicals used in the work a are re even more sensitive to a purity to test st construction work on the main refinery which will be used to purify the gas for the manufacturing plant wherever it is built is about two thirds completed the refinery i composed principally of a foot tower abich has six purifying tanks in two sections of three each it will be possible to add more from time to time and meet the demand no matter how large it is operations will be so apanged that the purified gas can be used from either of the sections or both at the same time this will insure continual operation material is being shipped from here daily to the dome for the purpose of welding and hooking booking up the pipes and connections process of manufacturing the ice is briefly as follows gas is piped from the well to the purifying tanks and thence to a condenser where it is changed to a liquid form from there the liquid passes into a chamber and emerges like ordinary snow but becomes compressed and hard after a trip through a hydraulic press |
