Improving a Charcoal Kiln Oxidizer
This charcoal kiln oxidizer was designed to incinerate heavy particulate organic matter without fouling. This facility uses “Missouri”-style kilns to produce the basic char that charcoal is made from. During the process of carbonizing the wood, wood tars and oils are emitted from the kilns, which can cause fouling in the ductwork and the incinerator. Working closely with the plant personnel to improve the kiln productivity and safety, Jardar Systems designed a system to resist fouling and recover energy from the stack outlet. As can be seen from the picture, all the organic matter is oxidized and the stack opacity is zero.
