...foot) spherical tanks, the expense down to $1,000,000, the fire hazard to zero. The scheme: liquefaction. Against next winter's peak demand. East Ohio will next fall compress natural gas under 600 pounds of pressure, liquefy it by cooling at 250° F. below zero, pour it into insulated sphericals. In the three tanks, Utilitarian Gallagher will have the liquid equivalent of 150,000,000 cubic feet, compressed to 1/600 its gaseous volume. Heated by steam, the liquid will again vaporize and go out through East Ohio's mains next winter...
