FOR EXPANSION

Increase in Consumption Spurs Need for Long Range Plan.

By LOWELL B. NUSSBAUM Heavy gains in gas consumption in the last several years have started Citizens Gas & Coke Utility officials thinking about a long range program of plant expansion. With the exception of 1936, consumption has shown a steady gain each year since the City took over the utility in 1935. Last year’s all-time high consumption—3,925,784,000 cubic feet— was a gain of 328 million cubic feet over 1938, and almost a halfbillion . cubic feet more than the consumption in the boom year 1929.

- Cold Snap Revives Plans

Plans for adding to the Utility's plant facilities were revived during

the recent 10-below-zero weather when consumption rose one day to approximately 18 million cubic feet. This is only a million or so cubic feet under the normal capacity of the utility but about eight million under its estimated emergency capacity. . The Prospect St. gas plant has a capacity of about eight and one-half million cubic feet of oven gas daily, while the plant’s three water gas units can produce an estimated 15 million cubic feet. Some of the water gas is used in the operation of the plant.

Water Gas Units Usable

In addition, water gas units at the Langsdale Ave. plant, unused but usable on 24 or 36 hours’ notice, are capable of producing probably 10 million cubic feet in an emergency. Gas. storage holders have a capacity of another 13 million cubic feet which helps out during cold spells. ; The reason the Utility accepts approximately 19 million cubic feet as the normal daily capacity is specific gravity. Oven gas has a low specific gravity, while the specific gravity of water gas is nearly twice as high. Adding too much water gas to the oven gas in the mains increases the specific gravity to. a point where its burning cnaracteristics are affected. Water Gas Use Limited

Unlimited quantities of water gas could be used if the gas and air mixers on consumers’ appliances were adjusted, but this couldn't be done overnight. Thomas L. Kemp, Utility general manager, explained that the Utility limits the amount of water gas pumped into the mains in order to prevent a variation of more than 10 per cent in specific gravity. This much variation is not noticeable in the burning characteristics of the

gas. Many cities allow a much higher

tion here was higher before the City took over the Utility. Utility officials feel there is no immediate need for adding to the normal capacity. but believe it wise to plan such expansion in view of the year-by-year increase in consumption. ”

Capacity Above Normal Need

The present normal capacity is far above the normal consumption. The 1939 daily average consumption was 11,527,000, considerably less than the normal capacity. Last year’s maximum one-day consumption was 14,829,000; the minimum, 8,111,000. A substantial portion of last year’s gain was in industrial consumption, which increased 178,000,00 cubic feet. Improved business conditions are expected to result in. continued industrial consumption gains this year. Another cause for the Increase was house-heating consumption, which increased 178,000,000 cubic nearly double the 1938 figure.

Sell Home Heating Use

When the City took over the utility, officials set out to prove gas a satisfactory, economical fuel for heating homes. : An intensive sales campaign added more than 800 gas heating plants in homes in, the last three years, bringing the total gas heated homes and business places to more than 1300 at present. Satisfied with this showing, the utility is beginning to concentrate its future sales effort on gas refrigerators and water heaters in an effort to build up its summer consumption to a point more nearly equal to winter consumption. The campaign to add more gasheated homes will be left largely to retailers of gas-fired home heating equipment, .who, it is anticipated, will continue to add materially to the number of gas heated homes.
