I believe the gas was pulled into cooling towers (photos: http://www.pullman-mus...2.pl?recordid=11555), then transported over to the blast furnace over the suspension bridge for reuse or recovery. I do not know exactly what that process was, or what the gas was composed of. The vertical pipe looks like a burn-off mechanism, or perhaps a "scrubber" to clean venting gas (overflow?).
