Sloss Boilers
The Sloss boilers generated the steam that powered the facility. Sloss Furnaces has 16 boilers, twelve were built around 1910, and four were added in the 1920s.
Inside are large metal drums that would be filled with water. While the boilers could burn coal and natural gas to heat the drums, they primarily burned waste gas created
inside the furnace during the iron-making process. The gas was cleaned and pumped into both the boilers and the hot blast stoves. The steam created in the boilers
would be used to power the blowing engines and turbo blowers, the skip hoist, and the machinery in the Power House.
