English: Apparatus for separating natural gas from artesian water at the Roma Gas Works, Queensland, ca. 1906.
Men demonstrating the apparatus for separating natural gas from artesian water at the Roma Gas Works, around 1906. The photo was taken in or about 1906 (the facility pictured was built in that year) The device is a vertical separator, made to separate natural gas from thewater from the well QG No.2. Where the piping goes into the ground, furtherest in the photo, is the actual wellhead of QG No.2. The gas was then carried to a gasometer nearby. The purpose of the facility was to reticulate the natural petroleum gas to Roma town. The exercise was a failure, as the gas ceased to flow after less than a fortnight's production. Of the facility in the picture, only the concrete base remains. The concrete base of the gasometer (not in picture) is presently used as a reservoir for the bore water produced by other wells on Hospital Hill. This photo is one of a series used as postcards, produced by Holloway, Maranoa Studios , Roma. Some of these cards were monochrome photographs; others were printed in colour. |
