Dec 30, 2008: Wood Pipe PAR
I originally got this in a email, but it peaked my interest so I went searching the net. I found it, but I have the impression this happened in 1966.
Since you didn't know about it, I guess that doesn't matter... no you di'n't. :headshake btw, PAR is the Port Arthur Refinery in Texas. Quote:
1- they were dumping waste water directly into the bayou. 2- the bayou isn't there any more... probably filled. http://cellar.org/2008/woodpipe.jpg Quote:
From the patent (US 4897140) for this style of pipe. Quote:

"Yes, we're seeking donations for a museum piece." "What is it?" "Um, well it's a um, ahh, a ah, yes, well, a piece of pipe" "A what!??" "A piece of old pi" <CLICK> "Hello? Hello?" |
They are obviously full of shit.

"Hello, Museum of Hazardous Waste."

Condenser Water is not part of an internal system. It's basically the water that flows through a swamp cooler (although we think of it as "cooling" the air, it actually acts as a heat sink to remove heat from circulated air). The cooling towers you see near power plants and huge HVAC systems have CW trickling down the sides. That's why you see steam plumes in the winter time.
No HAZMAT this time! :thumb2: See http://tristate.apogee.net/cool/cfn.asp for a more thorough explanation... if you are REALLY bored. |
No, this is not a drain from a swamp cooler. This is from a coke still where I get the impression they cook the crude oil to drive off water and gas. The condenser is not for boiler steam, which would send the condensate back to the boiler, but the condensed water vapor cooked out of the crude oil. This condensate would be mostly water.;)

mmm... how about a tall cool glass of mostly water.

That's not a pipe. it's buried treasure! Long, thin, buried treasure.

Bruce. My friend happened to call last nite and I checked to see if he got e-mail.
Awh Anyway He said he found some of same while working in AU. A fews yrs back. Hell it was only water running tru the line anyway. Hello! What was water barrels made of years ago. In fact there was a stavemill in this town in times past. |
Yeah, that's what water (and everything else) barrels were made of years ago, but how many survived being buried in the ground for 50+ years. ;)
