<p>This is a process, with the entailing equipment arrangement and machinery designed to produce charcoal and graphite of selectable varying degrees of volatile content from all types of waste wood, bark and vegetable matter. The procedure used in the past, or those current or planned for the future are obsolete, time consuming, inefficient, and dangerous, and require vast amounts of investment capital to bring into production. The process I have outline is continuous, 24 hrs. per day seven days a week, safe, non-pollutant, profitable and requires the minimum capital expenditure necessary to produce a commodity of highest quality. Instead of the huge vertical, gravity feed retorts, and the attendant costs and dangers they generate, this process is not reliant on gravity in vertical retorts but uses horizontal force fed, oxygen negligent tubes arranged in tiers of rows across the width of the refractoried oven, each tube independently controlled, vented and monitored and small enough to prohibit massive volumes of exhaust gases at extreme temperatures thus eliminating dangerous conditions. With the requirement of only two people per shift to operate it, the machine is extremely cost efficient. Because it can use any and all organic material, including wood waste, mixed up with bark in any ratio it is also a complete solution to the forest industry waste proliferation problem in any region with forest based industries. It can use the waste from the harvesting in the bush, to the manufacturing of finished products. It can use various other types of vegetable waste with minor modifications to the raw material handling procedures.</p> |
