CONTROL THE EFFICIENCY OF FUEL USE FOR THE PROCESS OF DRYING AT THE PEAT BRIQUETTING PLANT

One of the main goals of the Energy Strategy of Ukraine until 2030 is to increase the efficiency of consumption and use of energy products [1]. To realize this goal, it is necessary to increase the harvesting and production own energy resources. Among the main regional types of fuel are milling peat and briquettes from it. The short-term perspective of increasing the production of peat briquettes is primarily due to the efficiency of the use of this resource at the peat plant. It is known that for the existing peat-briquetting factories in Volyn region, the raw material base is exhausted [2].

The production of briquettes is accompanied by the consumption of heat and electric energy, as well as the consumption of peat raw materials in the technological process. The most energy-consuming and metal-containing complex in the production of peat briquettes is the energy technological complex of peat drying process. In the steam tube dryer as the heat transfer agent is used steam. To minimize energy consumption for the drying process, it is necessary to determine the required amount of heat (kJ) for drying peat of certain physical and mechanical properties to the qualitative characteristics of the drying peat. This allow to direct into the dryer saturated steam with the required pressure and temperature.
