What is sawdust charcoal?

- Sawdust charcoal is a high-value biomass fuel made from dry sawdust. It is produced by compressing and carbonizing the material in a low-oxygen environment, resulting in dense, durable charcoal sticks.

- During this process, organic compounds break down thermally, producing charcoal with high carbon content, long burn time, and strong heat output.

Basic characteristics of sawdust charcoal:

- Size: Typically sticks 10–30 cm long and 4–7 cm in diameter

- Moisture content: < 8%

- Recovered ash content: < 3%

- Calorific value: 6,800 – 7,500 Kcal/kg

What is the efficiency of sawdust charcoal?

- Sawdust charcoal offers high and stable combustion efficiency, making it fuel-saving in biomass boilers or heating systems. With a lower cost than coal or gas, it helps businesses significantly cut fuel expenses.

- For example, using sawdust charcoal instead of gas for heating or cooking can save up to 60–70% of fuel costs.

Applications in agricultural production

 - Sawdust charcoal can be crushed and mixed with animal manure to create high-quality organic fertilizer. Additionally, its ash is used to improve soil fertility and structure.

- The charcoal's moisture-absorbing and deodorizing properties also make it useful as bedding in livestock farms, helping maintain hygiene and reduce odors.

Use for domestic heating

- Sawdust charcoal burns slowly, produces little smoke and ash, making it ideal for barbecues, fireplaces, or home cooking.

- Using this charcoal helps protect health, reduce cleanup efforts, and lower indoor environmental pollution.

Some examples of industries using Sawdust charcoalare:

• Food processing plants (drying, sterilizing, cooking)
• Brick, ceramic, and pottery factories
• Wood drying and painting workshops
• Production facilities that require clean, stable, and low-cost heat.
