"Our improvements consist :-
Firstly, in making the column oblong instead of square so as to greatly increase the length of contra-current traverse between any two openings; an oblong still with shelves or diaphragms of the same superficial area as those of a square one giving a much longer contra-current traverse than one of the latter form. The advantages we thus secure are two fold-
(a.) By lengthening the total contra-current traverse we make practicable the more complete exhaustion of the descending liquor by a given quantity of ascending steam, whilst at the same time we are enabled to deliver stronger ammoniacal gas or vapour at the gas exit of the still and in this way to economise steam.
(b.). By lessening the width of the stratum of liquor passing along the diaphragms it follows that we deepen and proportionately increase the speed of its current and thus directly lessen the tendency of the lime to silt and accumulate on the shelves or diaphragms used for lime liquor as will be hereinafter described. In this way the accelerated current assisted only by the ebullition caused by the giving off of the ammonia gas enables us to completely overcome the tendency to deposit lime upon these lime liquor diaphragms and thus to obviate the necessity either of the objectionable bubbling valves or openings in the diaphragms or of the bulky sloping, curved or other inclined surfaces now employed in so many stills to secure the constant suspension of the lime in the liquor.
Fifthly, in providing the first of the lower series of diaphragm's or shelves with a considerably deeper lip than is given to any of the diaphragms or shelves above or below it. This ensures its holding, at all times a considerable store of liquor.
Sixthly, in providing near the closed end of the highest of the upper diaphragms or shelves a vertical plate or lip of such depth as will retain behind it sufficient liquor to immerse the mouth of the ammoniacal liquor supply-pipe and thus protect it from the injurious action of the gases in the still and also ensure the spreading of the liquor across the whole width of the diaphragm or shelf.",GB189307485A,1893,1
