Charcoal Kiln
Basics
- A Kiln for making Charcoal
- If powered by fuel and not electricity, it diverges from Ceramics Kiln / Heat Treatment Oven development in that the Syngas and/or Pyrolysis Oil can be utilized (either as fuel to increase overall efficiency, or as separate products
- If going for basic charcoal, to an extent the “pit method” / a Kon Tiki system can be more effective
Types
Basic
- Earth Pit Kiln
- Kon-Tiki Kiln
- Paint Can Pyrolysis and a Campfire or Rocket Stove
- MAY be able to use this to turn a Paper Brick / RDF Brick from Small Scale RDF into a Charcoal and maybe even graphite brick
- A larger device based on 55 Gallon Drums would be more effective
Advanced
- Highly Efficient Gas Fueled Kiln
- More Bio-Refinery type designs for producing Syngas / Pyrolysis Oil
- Continuous Charcoal Kiln
