  1. The blue coloured deposit on the right of the injector is copper liquor, it was used in the scrubbing towers to remove C0 gas.

  2. I joined Billingham in October 1958 after National Service as an Ordnance Engineer in the navy. Although my first posting was as DRIKOLD plant engineer I was moved to the start up of the steam Reforming Plant taking Bill Newbould with me as Maintenance foreman. I went to Heysham as a Section Engineer in 1965 but prior to that I stood in for Ammonia Works plant engineers who were on holiday. CO2 and CO removal plant engineer was Bill Broadmead and Compression plant engineer was Teddy Burden. Most of my relief work was covering for these two.
