feet or about 160 acres.Description: (a) Process: Hydrogenation of bituminous coal and H.T.C. tar at 700
a
tins,
by Bergius process. Mine and power station located on west side of plantana separated from it by the colliery sidings. Conveyors connect the mine withthe gas plant.(b) Power Plant: 380 x 307 feet, 3 chimneys, 4 cooling towers 84 feet in diameter. The colliery also has a small power station alongside the southernwinding engine house with two cooling towers, 30 feet in diameter.(c) Gas Plant: There seem to be three independent plants:(i) Direct gasification of coal (probably Winkler
type),
building 90 x70 feet, 8 columns, gasholders 95 feet-in diameter.(ii) Watergas plant: 20 generators in line, 450 x 72 feet, 2 gasholders,143 feet and 90 feet in diameter, respectively,(iii) A third plant erected between March 1940 and March 1941.Building100 x 40 feet with 4 chimneys. It is suggested that the gas plant isoversize and supplies Huls with gas through a pipe line laid in 1941.(d) Hydrogenation: Compressor house 600 x 87 feet, probably 12 compressors.Number of stalls: 12 (6
pairs):
5 pairs at 89 x 30 overall, 1 pair at 107 x30
ft.overall
Carbonization of residue: 6 ovens at 47 x 37 feet.(e) Refining: Nine furnaces with fractionating columns. There is a separatesection for the working up of light ends that may include a polymerization oralkylation plant.

87,000Sundries: The synthetic plant is connected by pipe lines to the Huls synthetic rub-Her plant and the Gelsenberg Benzin A.G. synthetic plant at Gelsenkirchen. Bythis means raw or pure gas can be transmitted from any one plant to anotherand tail gases sent to Huls from the synthetic plants. There are also pipeconnections with the coke oven plants at Zineckel and from Scholven to theBergmannglueck power station. This latter believed to convey tail gases fromthe synthetic plant to the power station.Estimated Capacity: 350,000 metric tons per year estimated normal production capacity.
