THE GROUNDING OF THE LISTOF THE PERSPECTIVE TYPES OF PEATFEDPREDIC PRODUCTION BASED ON THE QUALITY INDICATORS OF RAW MATERIALS
The results of the investigation of the raw material base of the branch of the ‘Slutsky’ plant of JSC Starobinsky PBF are given. It has been established that the geological reserves of upland peat are 522,400 t, lowland peat reserves - 148,000 t. The both types of peat have the high degree of decomposition (R > 25 %) and low ash content (Ac < 12 %), which guarantees the obtaining of high-quality products, both for fuel purposes and products based on complex deep peat processing. Based on the results of the research, the list of industries to be developed at the ‘Slutsky’ plant branch will be prepared.
