A manufacturing method for the production of combustible briquettes, where the base material consists of ash issuing from the burning process of waste wood or other similar material originating for instance from the mechanical wood processing industry in thermal stations equipped with a suitable fire grate such as a kabliz fire grate. The ash will either fall directly into a water-filled ash pit or will be quenched with water. Then the ash will be tansferred to the briquette press unit (2), where it is mixed with a suitable material such as peat from reservoir (3). The briquette press, which uses known technology, uses the intrinsic properties of the water-quenched ash, such as cooling and lubrication during the compressive phase and the property to bind the briquette into a sufficiently strong product without or with a minimum addition of a suitable binder. The need for a binder is determined by the strength required from the briquette after drying, when the briquette are transferred to packing, storage or use. |
