A little bit of history
From all natural power resources the wood, perhaps, played a leaging
role in becoming and development of our civilization.
Even now, in a century of a scientific and technological
revolution and atomic engineering, 47 % of wood prepared in the
world are burnt as fuel that replaces 1 000 000 000 tons of oil.
But burning of fire wood — is far from being the most effective
way of reception of energy from wood. Our ancestors knew about it.
So even in the ancient time they produce charcoal from wood and wood waste
products.
However, coal burnt not only in a life. Rather wide use of it as
the fuel burning without a flame and a smoke, began with the advent
of metallurgy.
In ХIV-XVII centuries charcoal was used in an iron and steel industry,
for melt of ferrous metals and pig-iron.
Presently it used in nonferrous metallurgy (for reception of aluminium
and boron). As the same time charcoal finds application in the most various
areas of human activity, in manufacture of pure silicon, a glass,
crystal, paints, electrodes, plastic, in medicine, etc.
Production of charcoal
Charcoal is formed as a result of pyrolysis. Pyrolysis it is
a thermal decomposition of wood without access of oxygen.
As a result of this process receive firm, liquid and gaseous products.
Firm product of pyrolysis is charcoal.
Presently, due to big it is warm feedback, to absence of a
smoke and sparks, charcoal is wide distributed as fuel for fireplaces and mangals.
One of the key parameters of quality of charcoal is the content
of nonvolatile carbon. Due to comply with highest standart, the content
of nonvolatile carbon in charcoal should make not less than 90 %.
The equipment used by our company allows to make charcoal with content
of nonvolatile carbon up to 95 %.
We are the first and the only manufacturer of fruit charcoal in Ukraine.
This is exclusive high-quality product that is ideal for barbeque,
fireplace and for hookahs.
