The item is a black and white photograph taken in 1917. It shows the plant where ammonia liquor was purified.
Nitrate of ammonia is one of the ingredients of many dynamites. Before the war CLX obtained their supply from Europe and the U.S. By 1917 the cost was high and the supply scarce. We therefore built a small plant for the manufacture of it on the island. Crude ammonia liquor (15-20%) was purchased in drums from the gas works of Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. Weak nitric acid (50-55%) was run thru glass line from our nitric house 600' away. From the two we made the nitrate of ammonia for CXL Dynamite plant at Nanaimo.
