Mangrove Lump/Wood was put into Charcoal Kilns more than 50-100 Mtons at a time
to be burned at temperature more than 450c for 15 days. The idea is to create
a slow burning; relatively low temperature burn by limiting the amount of oxygen
entering into the charcoal kiln. The wood is fired in the absence of air. Thus,
we have to close all four sides of Charcoal Kilns in order to make sure that the
heat is enough to burn all part of wood completely and there is no air pollution
that may affect to environment.
Mangrove Lump/Wood
After Mangrove Lump/Wood was completely burned inside the Charcoal Kilns for
15 days, we shall leave all material inside for another 15 days to make sure that
all materials are absolutely cool down at desired temperature with no sparking.
The most important thing for making charcoal is the way to make Mangrove Lump/Wood
cool down by not using the water. This issue is as important as to the way of
heating charcoal. Even though, water can make fast stopping and producing of Charcoal
to the commercial market quickly but there are many reasons support; the first
reason is that water can make high moisture to be absorbed in the material and
the second reason that is the aftermath of water can make it becomes difficult
to heat it up when you want to use it.
Therefore, the best ways of producing Charcoal at higher quality
is depend on many issues but of course the duration is the most important factor.
In fact, there are many kinds of material that can be made of Charcoal
but we use Mangrove Lump/Wood that is imported from Myanmar. Our Mangrove Lump/Wood
has age less than 3 years and between 5 to 10 years and we also replant Mangrove
every year to make sure that it will be impossible of lacking the material one
day in future.
