While the vacuum is held heat is maintained by steam coils, to prevent the vapors from condensing and remaining in the timber. After the products of this treatment are drawn off the cylinder is then filled with the hot oil at about 175 deg. and held under pressure until the desired absorption has been obtained. In the Bethell process of treatment the oil is applied by pressure in the same manner but without previous steaming. The details of the process as carried out at the works of the Southern Pacific Co., at Houston, Tex., are about as follows: The timber is run into a retort, which is then closed, and a vacuum of 22 to 24 ins. is set up and held about 10 minutes. Live steam is then turned in, destroying the vacuum and raising the temperature of the timber, and after 15 or 20 minutes another vacuum is pumped to open the pores of the wood. After holding the vacuum for 15 or 20 minutes live steam is again turned on and the pressure held for 6 to 8 hours, care being taken not to permit the temperature to exceed 250 deg. F. After blowing off the steam a vacuum of 24 to 26 ins. is again set up, the timber and retort meanwhile being held at a temperature of 225 deg. by a heating process. This (third) vacuum is maintained from four to six hours, after which the expelled liquids are drawn off and the cylinders are filled with creosote oil at a temperature of about 170 deg (to make it sufficiently fluid to enter the wood), when the pumps are again started and the pressure is raised to 80 or 100 lbs. per sq. in. and maintained from one to two hours, according to the quality of the timber.
