High Quality Charcoal Production From Forest Wood Waste

 Acacia forests or plantations in Indonesia are estimated to reach 2 million hectares and almost all of these acacia forests are used to supply pulp and paper mills. Every pulp and paper mill always has acacia forest with an area of thousands of hectares to fill the pulp and paper mill. Acacia wood with a minimum diameter of 8 cm is used as raw material, while those with a diameter smaller than that are only used as waste. Whereas wood with a diameter of 5-8 cm can be used for charcoal production. Charcoal production will not only solve the waste problem but also provide economic benefits. By choosing the right technology, high-quality charcoal can be produced, that is, with fixed carbon greater than 82%.

The recent condition, namely the pandemic atmosphere that has swept across the world due to the corona virus, has caused many offices and almost all schools to have switched their activities online. This condition has resulted in paper mills reducing their paper production even in Canada, a company has closed the mill. This has made it difficult for the acacia industrial plantation forest managers to market their timber. This will also reduce the company's revenue, so that the wood can be diverted for charcoal production as well.

 Indonesia also has forests or rubber plantations covering an area of ​​about 3.4 million hectares, ranked number 1 in the world followed by Thailand as second place with 2 million hectares and currently there are quite a lot of plantations that need replanting. Although it can be used for furniture, the need is still very small, so it is not effective for the utilization of rubber wood waste. Production of high quality charcoal from rubber wood as raw material is one of the best options. Our carbonization technology is intended for industrial capacity, especially the utilization of wood waste in industrial plantations. Apart from the quality of charcoal which has a fixed carbon of more than 82% or follows the European norm NF EN 1860-2, the conversion rate to charcoal is also higher. With a fixed carbon content of more than 82% means it also prevents colon cancer. Basically charcoal production is a matter of controlling the production process (process control). The quality of charcoal from poor process control will also be low, so that although it is acceptable in the local market, it is not accepted by the international market.
