Strikha V. Substantiation and development of milled peat layered ridging.

The thesis is devoted to the improvement of technological process of peat deposit development by milled peat method with the aim of losses reduction and products upgrading. There have been determined main factors which influence quantitative and qualitative indexes of this process. Ridging has been proved to be the least perfect technological cycle operation. The method of layered ridge formation with clear humid peat particles stratification in it has been suggested. The mechanism implementing the offered principle of layered ridging has been developed and its main characteristics have been defined. There have been worked out recommendations for the innovation introduction into production. The achieved results can be used for the improvement of quantitative and qualitative indexes of milled peat excavating process.
