This paper describes an experimental, domestic-sized, oil-fired furnace to be used for evaluation of fuel additives and equipment design modifications in reducing air pollutant emissions. Operating data and emissions of particulate matter, smoke, carbon monoxide, gaseous hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, and oxides of sulfur are reported over the range of operable air-fuel ratio. Emission levels are interpreted in terms of key operating parameters and potential areas for reduction of emissions.

Concrete floors in food processing plants require protection from excessive abrasive and corrosive exposures. Failure to provide it results in early floor deterioration. The development, use and effectiveness of materials designed to protect concrete play a key role in lengthening the useful life of plant floors. The substances include structural materials, coating and overlayments. Paper published with permission.
