Abstract: Process for ash treatment and corresponding installation. The
invention relates to the field of ash treatment, principally ash from an
incinerator destined to be stored in a controlled dump. The treatment
according to the invention comprises a step receiving the ash in a deposit
(2), a step in which said ash is wetted and mixed, and a step in which said
ash is compacted, waste or used water being capable of being employed in
said wetting step. By means of said treatment a compact, shaped and
packaged final product (23) is obtained, such that in said controlled dump
the volume of ash is significantly reduced, whilst its handleability is
improved, all of the above being performed without significant
environmental impact since no form of gas, liquid or solid effluent is
generated and residual water is used.

with at least one secondary elongate structural member joined between the two
main members in a load bearing manner, the main members being separated
by a fixed distance and an opening being provided which extends part way
along a side face of each main member; the method comprising:
   inserting a first protrusion located on a first end of the secondary structural
member in the opening of the first main member by moving the secondary
structural member along a first direction parallel with the longitudinal axis of the
secondary member,   inserting a second protrusion located on a second end of the secondary
structural member in the opening of the second main member by moving the
secondary member along a second direction which is the reverse direction of
the first direction,   interconnecting the secondary member with the main members by a movement
of said secondary member to bring the ends of the secondary member into a
predetermined position on said main members, said openings and said first and   second protrusions co-operating to prevent disengagement of said secondary
member from said predetermined position other than by reversal of said
movement.

Abstract: A method is provided for accelerating the curing of an adhesive at a bondline while bonding structures using a fabric heater. The method comprises applying an electrically conductive fabric heater between structures to be bonded to which a layer of adhesives is applied to the bonding surfaces of the structures. Once the adhesive layers and fabric heater are applied to the bondline, pressure is applied and the heater is energized to produce heat uniformly throughout the bondline at the curing temperature of the adhesive so that the adhesive is evenly or symmetrically cured. After curing the adhesive, the heater remains sandwiched at the bondline to act as a reinforcing fabric.
