No. 27943.—21st June, 1910.—NILS TESTRUP, of 34 Clements Lane, Lombard Street, London E.C., England, Managing Director. Improvements relating to the briquetting of carbonised peat and the like.

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists in passing the pulped peat containing its natural water—say, for example, 85 per cent. to 90 per cent.—continuously or nearly continuously under pressure and with agitation through an element which heats the water and peat to a temperature high enough above 100°C. to carbonise the peat and to destroy the slimy matters and liberate all the water retained thereby—the highly heated water acting as a conductor of heat to the peat-particles in the heating-element—and then separating the carbonised product from its water in any known manner. According to the process the heating takes place under pressure in such a manner that the liquid is not allowed to boil away. If any steam is formed it is confined in the conduits where the heating takes place and is condensed, its heat being given to the entering peat-pulp. The invention further consists in certain forms of apparatus hereinafter described whereby the above carbonising process is carried out; also in a process of treating the above-mentioned carbonised product, which process consists in first drying the carbonised substance produced by the above carbonising process so that only a small percentage of free moisture remains in the substance and then subjecting it to pressure at a temperature above 120°C. in a high-pressure briquetting-press.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
