1897 Acid Towers

This detail shows the layout of the acid towers and there relationship to the burner building and the chambers. An enclosed pipe conducts flu gas from the burner building to the Glover tower, another covered pipe conducts gases into the chamber building. An additional covered pipe travels from the chamber building into the Gay-Lussac tower. The drawing indicates that the towers are 60 feet tall and having a foot print of 10 feet by 25 feet. Although not clearly identified I believe that the 8 foot square below the nitrous recovery tower is the chimney.
