The production proces of charcoal
 |
The
modern production facility of charcoal is located in Estonia. With the most
newly developed technology, charcoal is environmentally friendly produced.
The ovens to produce charcoal facility are constructed in such a way that no
additional energy is needed to keep the process running. |
| The production
The chopped wood is put into a vessel which is placed into
the oven. The temperature in the oven is about 800 ºC. The oven is closed, so
no oxygen can influence the pyrolysis process. After about 8 hours the wood is
converted into charcoal. The formed gasses during the production process are
burned and directly used to heat up the ovens. So no additional energy is
necessary |
 |
The excess heat of the pyrolysis process can be used to dry
the incoming wood. With a large production facility the excess heat can be used
for district heating. Overall a very environmentally friendly production
facility. More information about this production facility can be found at the
