D. Gas Cooling Towers: One tile-lined gas cooling tower,<br />
manufactured by the American Air Filter Company, is located just<br />
north of each dual venturi scrubber. Each tower is connected to<br />
its respective dual venturi scrubber by a flooded elbow. The<br />
tower associated with the scrubber in the western bay of the gas<br />
quencher pump house is 29*-0" diameter x 103'-3" high. It is<br />
designed to receive gas at 386,000 cfm and to cool the gas down<br />
to 110 degrees F. The tower associated with the scrubber at the<br />
eastern bay has a diameter of 22'-0" and is 84'-6" high. It is<br />
designed to receive gas at 146,000 cfm and to cool the gas down<br />
to 110 degrees F.<br />

E. Gas Washer Pump House: Laid out on an east-west axis, the<br />
gas washer pump house is located just north of the gas quencher<br />
pump house. The 28'-0" wide x 60'-0" long, one story steel<br />
framed building is divided into two equal bays. Each bay is<br />
built around the bottom cone of the gas cooling towers. The<br />
steel framed building has a corrugated metal exterior.<br />
Located in the western bay of the pump house are three 125<br />
hp motor-powered Wilson-Snyder cooling tower water pumps rated at<br />
5500 gpm, and two 150 hp motor powered Allis-Chalmers venturi<br />
recycle pumps rated at 3300 gpm.<br />
The eastern bay of the pump house contains two 12 5 hp motor-<br />
powered Wilson-Snyder cooling tower water pumps rated at 5500<br />
gpm, and one 150 hp motor-powered Allis-Chalmers venturi recycle<br />

travelling through the downcomer outlet pipes of the gas cooling<br />
towers up through the stacks and into the atmosphere. The stack<br />
associated with each gas cooling tower has a g'-O" diameter and<br />
is 151'-0" high.<br />
