Exhibit description
This diagram, dating from the second half of the 19th century, illustrates the proces of degassing bituminous coal as well as its chemical by-products and their applications.
The tree shows the optimum proportions for obtaining light gas from 100 kilograms of coal. Secondary products, such as coke and tar are also shown on the tree. They are placed on the thickest branches. The tree also includes other chemical substances and compounds and their use in the industry.
Before it found its way to the Gasworks Museum in Paczków, the drawing was kept in the office of the manager of the Municipal Gasworks in Zabrze.
