Lignite Briquettes May Spark Northwest Industry
The Minneapolis Journal notes potential for a large lignite briquette factory in the northwest, driven by North Dakota and Montana deposits. Tests show Dakota lignite holds 38 percent water yet forms firm, nearly smokeless briquettes with low ash, while German plants prove profitable with 15 to 20 percent dividends. A process using a heated cylinder dries and conditions the coal to a moldable mass for pressing into durable briquettes.
