MIGHTY GEYSER TO YIELD ITALY TRAIN N CURRENT
Government Hope Hopes to End Coal Importation in ! Three Years. .
ROME, Dec. 17 (U. P)—A huge geyser will be harnessed within two years and its power used to operate electric trains, according to an announcement here.’
Italians hail this scheme as a novelty in Europe, if not in the world. The geyser, which started to belch steam a year ago after being bored to an unusual depth, is the most powerful of several which dot an en area of 120 square miles in the district of Larderello, in ‘the province of Pisa. With the intent of using this steam for industrial purposes in the same way that was done with other minor springs, the company "which exploits the area had decided to turn this geyser to the production of electric power. ~~
State to Buy Power
The power will be sold to the State-owned and operated railroads and conveyed to the various stations in Central Italy which will feed the different trunks as soon as their electrification is finished in pursuance with the Government program of abolishing American, Belgian, English, German and Polish coal and substituting it with “white coal,” a commodity abundant in Italy. The construction of a big power house near Larderello for the transformation of the geyser’s steam into electricity has been started and will

be ready to operate about the end of 1939. The station will be equipped with four ' big condenser turbines coupled to four alternators. This machinery will produce 48,000 kilowats of ‘available power. Before it is conveyed into the turbines, the volcanic gases contained in the steam will be prified in a depurator which will remove the noxious elements and make them non-corrosive to the metal of the turbines, and these will be then conveyed directly into the turbines and these will transform it into electrical
power. System 119 Years Old
The company in question, headed by Prince Pietro Ginori-Conti, started harnessing volcanic steam in the Larderello area and exploiting its contents commercially 119 years ago. It began with extracting boric acid from the steam by a process of vaporization, later obtaining sulphate of ammonia, magnesia and sodium, In 1914 the company began ‘also to use the earth’s internal heat for production of electricity, illuménatThe product was perfected commerciaily at great cost. ' The output increased until the concern was able to supply many towns and cities, Pisa included, with the two commodities, besides continuing to extract the other by-products. In 1939, electricity will be - produfed on a still larger scale to drive railroad engines for the first time. If the power from the existing plants is added to that expected from the new one, the company will be able to supply the state railroads with more than one-half milliard of kilowatt hours yearly. The company at: present operates eight plants and the attention of its experts is now concentrated on. extracting argon, neon and principally helium, considerable traces of which have been found in the steam drawn from the more recently tapped holes.
