An electric process for the treatment of pent has lately been adopted In Eng land nt the Johnston & Phillips works. The peat is transformed Into a bard combustible, which Is well ndnpted for uso under boilers. Tho operation Is said to Inst two nnd a half hours, nnd tbo material costs less than ordinary conL Tho combustible which Is thus produced has a high calorific vnlno nnd gives scarcely nny smoke. A plnnt on a largo scnlo Is to be In stalled In Ireland nnd if successful It will be nn Important movo In tho direc tion of utilizing pent ns fuel under tbo best conditions. In tbo present pro cess the peat ns It comes from tho boga Is placed In cylinders, which rovolvo nt a high speed, whllo a set of nlr fans la used to drive oft the water, which forms nbout SO per cent of the totaL A set or electrodes is placed In tho cylinders nnd connected with a dynamo, Tbo circuit is completed through tho mass of the peat between tho electrodes. Tho rcslstanco which the pent offers to tho current causes a considerable heat nnd the latter breaks up tho peat nnd pulverizes It. but with out causing It to lose nny of Its prop erties. In ordor to incrense tho conductivity of somo kinds of pent they ndd cer tain chemical products. After thin process tho jent Is trented by a set of knendlng rollers, which gtvo it a plastic consistency so na to cnnblo It to tnko nny desired form. From hero It pnssen to an automatic press which forms It Into briquettes. It la then ready for uso nnd Is taken to tho storeroom. It Is to bo remarked thnt nlthough tho passage of tho current through tho peat gives rise to n heating effect tho results obtained in this way are qulto different from thoso which nnothcr method of heating would produce. By flro heat tho particles of the pent loso their different constituent matters, while tbo electric heating causes thoni to disintegrate, thus freeing their cel lular material nnd distributing it throughout tho entire mass of the pent. Thus nil tho particles becomo ndap'ed for combustion. To obtain a harder material the d't npgrcgnted pent Is given a larger treatment with the current Tho nlr U kept out by n tight cover, and tho mass Is then treated with nn adhesive solu tion ao na to uulto ttio particles. Tho exicrlmcnts have been mado with the process on n largo senlo nnd nt a groat' expense, nnd It Is said to hnvo been greatly Improved in the details nnd can now bo npplled commercially.
