Litchfield Plant Burns Crude Oil During Coal Shortage
The Itchfield Manufacturing Company will keep operations running through special burner attachments that allow crude oil to replace coal in boiler fireboxes. The plant has storage for 30,000 gallons and ample supply, mitigating worries caused by the recent coal strike. Oil can be piped from tanks and burned with only slightly higher operating costs, with shipments easily arranged to meet immediate needs.
