ICI Carbonating towers construction
View of the Carbonating towers under construction at the Imperial Chemical Industries facility at Osborne. The towers are the solvay reaction towers, where the sodium bicarbonate crystal is manufactured. The process involves gas absorption intow the tower in which carbon dioxide bubbled up through a descending flow of pre-carbonated ammoniated purified brine. Initially four towers were constructed, and most of the plant was shipped out from England and assembled on site. These were constructed from cast iron sections and the dimensions were similar to the original Ernest Solvay designed ammonia soda reaction vessels, and were 90 feet tall by 6 feet across. Tower 4 on the right had Port Adelaide SS Perthsire stencilled on its castings. The SS Perthsire was a cargo vessel registed in Glasgow and was in service from 1936-1964. ICI chemists developed their own temperature curve for the towers, which had benefits for both efficiency and maximum production output. The temperature curve required initial seeding of the crystal high in the tower from the top gas (kiln gas CO2 42%) and then cooling from the mid tower cooling water stream. This continued the crystal growth as the crystal makes its way down the tower to be further saturated from CO2 from bottom gas (80%) strength and then more cooling from the bottom stream cooling water. Then the magma slurry containing the sodium bicarbonate crystal was extracted out of the tower on the first floor to move to the next stage of the process the filiterin gof the crystal and then finishing the crystal into sodium carbonate. The Osborne plant had a reputation for manufacturing an excellent quality synthetic product.
