WILL DISTIL OIL FROM BROWN COAL.
COMMONWEALTH TO BEGIN OPERATIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, January 16. In continuation of Commander Brand’s 1923 investigations into powdered fuel' for the Australian Navy, the English company which owns large deposits of brown coal at Morvvell (near Melbourne) proposes to begin operations this year distilling oil from brown coal, one ton of which, it is calculated, will yield fifteen gallons of oil. The residue will be used for the manufacture of briquettes of which the calorific value is said to be equal to black coal. It will also be used in the form of powdered fuel for power purposes.
