FORM 24 ABSTRACT PEAT FIBRE WATER REMOVAL BY CYCLONIC ACTION, VACUUM AND HEAT This invention for the removal of water entrapped in peat fibre cells is an apparatus that also employs a process of heating the water in each peat fibre cell while in suspension and under negative (vacuum) pressure to the point whereby the water becomes a gas (steam) and is expelled from the peat fibre cell. The apparatus consists of a suspension apparatus (cyclone) connected to a separator apparatus cone (cyclone). Hot air is allowed to enter the tube at the bottom of the suspension cyclone, wetted peat is allowed to enter near the top of suspension cone tube, and the peat will remain in the tapered cone of the suspension cyclone in residence until the required amount of water is removed from the peat fibre cells to reduce its weight. As the peat fibre weight is reduced because of the loss of water, the peat fibre will gradually be lifted higher by the hot air stream until it is then passed over to the separator cyclone by the connecting duct between the two cyclones. Under controlled vacuum this water gas (steam) will not re-enter the peat fibres while contained in the apparatus in a heated condition. After passing into the separator cyclone, both the peat and the steam (water extracted from the peat) are subjected to centrifical force (spinning). Because of its particle weight, the peat fibres will be thrown to the outside perimeter of the separator body and will gradually spiral downward to a rotary air lock (valve) where they will be extracted. The steam will be extracted by a fan which develops the negative pressure (vacuum), out through a central tube at the top of the seperator cyclone and through a duct to this fan to be expelled to atmosphere. The temperature of the hot air applied, the vacuum that is developed by the extractor fan and the moisture content of the peat as it enters the system will govern the amount of production flow.
