Boosting Charcoal Production with a Biomass Carbonization Furnace for a Vietnamese Customer

In early 2025, our biomass carbonization furnace was successfully delivered to Vietnam to support a local customer in establishing a large-scale biomass charcoal production line.

The project aimed to transform agricultural waste such as coconut shells, sawdust, and rice husks into high-quality charcoal while promoting environmental protection and economic development in rural areas.

Customer background

The customer is a renewable energy entrepreneur based in Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam, who has been engaged in the production of eco-friendly fuel and biomass recycling for several years. With abundant local resources of coconut shells, rice husks, and sawdust, he wanted to expand his business by converting these materials into commercial charcoal and biochar for domestic and export markets.

Before contacting us, the customer had been using a small batch-type charcoal furnace. However, it could not meet the increasing production demand due to its low efficiency, high fuel consumption, and labor intensity. After researching multiple suppliers, he found our continuous biomass carbonization furnace, which perfectly matched his requirements for automation, capacity, and environmental friendliness.

Challenges

During the consultation, the customer highlighted several key needs:

  • High Output: Continuous production to reach at least 800–1000 kg/h.
  • Energy Saving: Reduce energy consumption by recycling combustible gas generated during carbonization.
  • Environmental Protection: Comply with Vietnam’s new environmental regulations for smoke and gas emissions.
  • Ease of Operation: Simple operation and maintenance for rural workers.
  • Durability: Long service life with stable performance under tropical climate conditions.

Suluhisho lililotolewa

To meet the customer’s needs, we recommended our continuous biomass carbonization furnace equipped with:

  • Double-layer structure for efficient heat utilization and stable temperature control.
  • Combustible gas recycling system, which reuses flue gas as heating fuel, significantly reducing external fuel costs.
  • Automatic feeding and discharging system, enabling 24-hour continuous operation.
  • Smoke purification system, ensuring clean exhaust and environmental compliance.
  • High-grade insulation materials to minimize heat loss and enhance safety.

We also provided remote installation guidance, training videos, and online support to help the customer’s team complete assembly and trial runs smoothly.

Biomass carbonization furnace benefits

After one week of commissioning, the carbonization furnace achieved stable production with an average output of 950 kg/h of high-quality charcoal. The customer successfully converted large volumes of biomass waste into charcoal suitable for barbecue, industrial fuel, and soil improvement.

Key results include:

  • Fuel cost reduced by 35% due to the internal gas recycling system.
  • Product yield increased by 25%, compared to the previous batch-type furnace.
  • Smoke-free and energy-efficient operation, meeting Vietnam’s environmental standards.
  • The customer quickly signed supply contracts with local distributors and began exporting biochar to neighboring Southeast Asian countries.

Maoni ya mteja

“The biomass carbonization furnace exceeded my expectations. It’s efficient, clean, and very easy to operate. Our production capacity has doubled while costs have gone down significantly. It’s a great solution for anyone looking to turn agricultural waste into profit.”
