Charcoal production

Modern society concerned by harmful substances emission more than ever. Fuel from vegetable raw materials is one of the solutions. For example, charcoal is produced from wood with heat treatment without oxygen access. Which in turn reduces greenhouse gases emission. It happens in case when charcoal is produced using effective technologies.

Consider two charcoal manufacturing methods. The first method- with the help of special retort furnace. It is simple and equipment is relatively cheap. These are the only advantages.Production requires sanitary zone. During charcoal production, vapor-gas mixture is formed. Among many compounds the most dangerous are phenols. In normal conditions, they are slowly destroyed and pose a danger for environment. Product quality with this method is not consistent. Manufacturing process labour intensive, and performance is low.

Modern companies manufacture charcoal with the help of special equipment. Initial expenses quickly pay off, so the only downside is requirement for qualified personnel. This approach has much more advantages.

• Performance increases many times.
• Evaporation during production are used to keep temperature in furnaces, which affects energy efficiency.
• Process is fully automatized.
• Raw material is continuously transformed in complete product.
• Combustion products are transferred back to the furnace and burn in it. It is totally safe for human and nature.
• Charcoal quality is high and consistent.
• Wide range of raw materials. It is not only wood species, but also sawdust, cuttings, straw, cane, cereal husks and many more.
• Low production cost price.
• High firing temperature allows to achieve higher carbon containment for less time.
• Wide scope of application. Charcoal is not only fuel, but also can be applied in medicine and agriculture, industry production.

Charcoal usage is growing every day. At the same time, new productions are opened to manufacture this unique kind of fuel. Specialized equipment for charcoal producing is preferred. End product has excellent quality, which allows to compete with handicraft productions and get wide production market.

Versatility is the main advantage of charcoal. Along with such habitual things as fireplace stoking coal is irreplaceable in food production and in metal smelting. Modern charcoal production equipment meets environmental requirements and norms, benefits society without harming nature.
