Coal Is King Once More Pulverized Is Big Money Saver
The Donau, a new North German Lloyd liner, arrived in Victoria on its second voyage from Europe and proved pulverized coal to be a clean, economical fuel. Three pulverized coal boilers can replace five ordinary coal boilers, saving $50 daily in coal and requiring fewer crew. The vessel uses a pulverized coal boiler as a donkey unit in port and powers winches, lighting, and pumps. Captain H Grantz and Second Engineer Brendt praise the system for efficiency and reduced waste.
