chief difficulty in manufacturing fuel
from peat Is getting rid Of the water
with which 1t is always soaked. About
eighty-fiye per cent by bulk is w9ter.
and practically all of this must be re-

peat is brought to the factory in boats,
from which It is removed by electric
conveyers and submitted to prelim-

brluuettes thus formed are placed in
chambers, through which warm, dry
air is driven. and are finally placed in
electrically heated retorts, where the
drying Is completed
