The interior tank contains oil, to whicha certain amount must be added everytime the reclaiming operation is per-formed. When the picked over old wasteis put in, the cover is put down and se-cured, and the air pressure applied. Thisagitates the mass of oil and waste, whilethe live steam entering the water in theouter jacket keeps it hot. This agitationgoes on for from two to five hours, whenthe air and steam are shut off, the wastetaken from the tank, and placed in thecylindrical compressor above the tank,where it is subjected to a pressure of 80lb. a sq. in., t
