In the thriving palm oil industries of Indonesia and Malaysia, where vast plantations fuel global demand for edible oils, a significant challenge has emerged alongside production success. The processing of oil palm generates large volumes of waste materials — including ​palm fiber, ​coquilles de noyau de palmier (PKS)​, etpalm shell​ — that, until recently, were often underutilized or simply discarded. These by-products, while once considered waste, are now recognized as valuable raw materials for producing high-quality charcoal, particularly ​biochar, through advanced ​technologie de carbonisation.

ÀMachinerie Weiwa, with over thirty years of expertise in manufacturing biomass processing equipment, we have developed an innovative solution: leFourth Generation Continuous Carbonization Furnace with a Secondary Combustion Chamber. This state-of-the-art machinery enables palm oil producers in Indonesia, Malaisie, and beyond to convert their waste into profitable, eco-friendly charcoal products — including ​biochar, ​charcoal briquettes, et plus.

The Challenge of Palm Waste in Indonesia and Malaysia

Indonesia and Malaysia dominate the global palm oil market, together accounting for over 85% of worldwide production. While this industry brings substantial economic benefits, it also produces massive amounts of biomass residues — namely ​palm fiber, ​coquilles de noyau de palmier (PKS)​, etpalm shell​ — as by-products of the oil extraction process.

These residues were traditionally either burned in the open, contributing to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, or stockpiled, leading to storage challenges and fire hazards. Cependant, with growing environmental regulations and a rising focus on sustainability, there is an urgent need for efficient, eco-friendly methods to manage and repurpose these materials.

This is where ​continuous carbonization technology​ comes into play — transforming what was once waste into a valuable commodity.

What is a Four à carbonisation continue?

Unfour à carbonisation continue​ is an industrial machine designed to thermally decompose biomass materials in an oxygen-limited environment, converting organic substances into charcoal (also known as biochar or carbonized biomass). Contrairement aux méthodes traditionnelles de carbonisation par lots, which require frequent loading and unloading, ​Fours de carbonisation continue​ operate non-stop, allowing for higher efficiency, sortie cohérente, and lower labor costs.

À Weiwa Machinery, we have engineered the ​Fourth Generation Continuous Carbonization Furnace, specifically tailored to process palm oil waste such as ​palm fiber, ​coquilles de noyau de palmier (PKS)​, etpalm shell. Our system incorporates several advanced features that set it apart from earlier models and competitors’ equipment.

Introducing the Fourth Generation Continuous Carbonization Furnace

Our latest ​Fourth Generation Continuous Carbonization Furnace​ represents a major leap forward in biomass carbonization technology. Designed with the specific needs of palm oil producers in mind, this furnace offers:

1. ​Integrated Secondary Combustion Chamber​

One of the most important upgrades in our fourth-generation model is the inclusion of a ​secondary combustion chamber. This component ensures that the volatile gases released during the carbonization process are fully combusted, significantly improving thermal efficiency and reducing harmful emissions.

The secondary combustion chamber allows for cleaner operation, meeting stringent environmental standards in Indonesia, Malaisie, and export markets. It also recovers heat energy, which can be reused within the system, enhancing overall energy efficiency and reducing operational costs.

2. ​Anti-Clogging Pipeline Design​

A common issue in many carbonization systems is pipeline blockage caused by tar, ash, or condensed vapors. Our engineers have tackled this problem head-on by redesigning the internal piping structure to ensure smoother gas flow and prevent buildup.

This ​anti-clogging pipeline system​ minimizes maintenance downtime, enhances operational reliability, and ensures a steady flow of carbonized material — making the entire carbonization process more seamless and efficient.

3. ​High Capacity & Continuous Operation​

The fourth-generation furnace is built for ​industrial-scale operations, capable of processing large volumes of ​palm shell, ​palm fiber, etPKS​ continuously. This makes it ideal for palm oil mills and biomass processing plants that generate waste in high quantities daily.

With continuous feeding and discharging mechanisms, operators can achieve uninterrupted production, maximizing throughput and profitability.

The Carbonization Process Explained

Turning palm oil waste into valuable ​biochar​ involves a carefully controlled carbonization process. Here’s how it works when using our ​four à carbonisation continue:

Étape 1: Raw Material Preparation

The process begins with the collection of palm oil by-products, primarily ​palm shell, ​palm fiber, etcoquilles de noyau de palmier (PKS)​. These materials are first screened to remove impurities and then fed into the carbonization furnace using an automated conveyor system.

Étape 2: Séchage & Preheating

Before carbonization begins, the raw materials pass through a drying stage where excess moisture is removed. This pre-treatment step ensures more efficient carbonization and higher-quality charcoal output.

Étape 3: Carbonization in the Furnace

Une fois séché, the materials enter the ​main carbonization chamber, where they are subjected to high temperatures (généralement entre 400°C et 600°C) in an oxygen-deprived environment. Under these conditions, the organic compounds in the biomass decompose, leaving behind solid carbon — or ​charcoal.

The entire carbonization process is continuous, with raw materials fed in one end and carbonized charcoal discharged from the other, ensuring a steady production flow.

Étape 4: Gas Treatment & Energy Recovery

As the biomass carbonizes, it releases volatile gases and tars. In our system, these by-products are directed to the ​secondary combustion chamber, where they are burned off to generate additional heat. This not only reduces emissions but also recycles energy back into the system, improving overall efficiency.

Étape 5: Charcoal Collection

Le résultantbiochar​ is collected at the discharge end of the furnace. This charcoal is highly porous, rich in carbon, and has a wide range of applications — from soil amendment and water filtration to fuel production.

From Biochar to Charcoal Briquettes

While ​biochar​ itself is a valuable product, many of our clients choose to further process it into ​charcoal briquettes​ using our complementary ​charcoal briquette machines. Briquetting transforms loose charcoal into uniform shapes — such as round, carré, or hexagonal briquettes — that are easier to transport, store, and market.

Applications of Charcoal Briquettes Include:

• ​Household Fuel: Clean-burning briquettes for cooking and heating.
• ​Industrial Fuel: Used in boilers, furnaces, and smelting operations.
• ​BBQ and Hospitality Industry: Premium charcoal for grilling and restaurants.
• ​Activated Carbon Production: Further processed for water and air purification.

By converting palm waste into marketable charcoal products, producers can tap into multiple revenue streams while contributing to sustainable waste management.

Environmental and Economic Benefits of Carbonizing Palm Waste

The adoption of continuous carbonization technology offers numerous advantages for palm oil producers, local communities, and the environment:

Waste Reduction

Carbonizing palm waste like ​palm fiber, ​palm shell, etPKS​ reduces the volume of biomass that would otherwise be burned or discarded, helping to minimize environmental pollution and land use conflicts.

Renewable Energy Source

The charcoal produced can serve as a ​renewable energy source, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and supporting sustainable development goals.

Additional Revenue Stream

By converting waste into valuable commodities like ​biocharEtcharcoal briquettes, palm oil producers can generate new income, improving the overall profitability of their operations.

Compliance with Environmental Regulations

Our carbonization systems, especially those equipped with ​secondary combustion chambers, help producers meet stringent environmental standards, avoiding fines and contributing to cleaner air quality.
