The subject matter of this blog is the Steel Industry and Railroading. Most of the posts deal with my attempt to model an integrated steel mill in HO scale, however, there will also be posts on real railroading and the real steel industry as well as other industries, and for that matter, general topics, that interest me.

WASTE GAS BURNER - Part 1
This structure is located just next to the A-Furnace casthouse. It is connected to the waste gas main from the A-Furnace gas washer. I used .080 plastic as a small foundation and fabricated the piping using wood dowels. This is just the basic piping - I need to add platforms, ladders and the cone shaped top. The burner itself is 5/8" dowel and the connecting pipe is 3/8". The remainder of the piping is 1" for the waste gas main - the pipe going up and then turning will attach to the gas washer for A-Furnace, while the pipe going on a slight angle toward the left will connect to the gas washer of B-Furnace. You can see the burner in the prototype photo - it is the tall thin tower toward the right of the photo - it has partially been demolished and is missing the top and one platform.
