The gasworks Floridsdorf was one of the English private company Imperial Continental Gas Association in Floridsdorf operated gas plant .
history
The Floridsdorf gasworks was built in 1870 on Hauptstrasse (today Brünner Strasse ) in Floridsdorf, which at that time did not yet belong to Vienna . Its capacity was around 3,000 cubic meters of town gas per day, and its capacity was increased tenfold through expansion.
Of the 13 retort furnaces that the plant had around 1903, the gas obtained was passed through a condenser to two scrubers, one of which was operated with water, and then to two cleaning sections. After passing the in-house gas meter, the town gas got into a gasometer .
The third and largest gasometer with a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters was built around 1902. In the same year, the Floridsdorf gasworks also received a direct rail connection to the Kaiser-Ferdinands-Nordbahn , so that the coal delivered by rail could be brought directly to the plant.
