J. LOOS

The article deals with the present state of power installations in breweries and malting plants. Many installations are out-of-date and require reconstruction and modernization, which holds true expecially for boilers. The author analyses the situation of coal mining industry and explains the reasons for building a comprehensive system of pipelines for distributing coke - oven, town and natural gas. Cheap long-distance transport and convenience in its application give the gas many serious advantages over fossil fuel. Its main merit is the possibility of direct technologic application without using any intermediate means. The author specifies all the installations and equipment in breweries and malting plants requiring thermal energy and gives instructions, how to change over to gas. The rentability of gas installations is calculated in the concluding paragraph.
