Abstract
pressor often give a great deal of trouble, resulting in frequent interruptions of service because of needed repairs and requiring relatively large amounts of time and money for maintenance. Undesirable irregularities in the quality of the carbon dioxide produced, and, hence, in the treatment of the water, may also occur. In the modern carbon dioxide plant, the compressor is the first instead of, as formerly, the last unit in the producer line. Since the compressor handles only clean air and the entire system is under pressure, combustion is complete, making scrubbing and drying unnecessary. This arrangement considerably simplifies the problem of carbon dioxide production. The conventional softening plant requires a relatively large recarbonation basin area. The gas produced has a carbon dioxide value of approximately 13 per cent, the balance being principally atmospheric nitrogen. The distribution header in such a basin is
