CHARCOAL PRODUCTION BASED ON OLIVE POMACE

In line with its logic of valuing by-products and creating added value, the CHO GROUP has set up a biomass production unit in the form of charcoal made from olive pomace with a capacity of 6000 tons / year.

Consumer products made from olive biomass are a new segment. Olive biomass is a versatile and abundant material that can be successfully converted to other types of solid energy carriers like pellets, briquettes for heating.

Each briquette is produced using a hydraulic press of the brand RUF, world leader in briqueting machines for 40 years.

The process consists of compressing the dry olive biomass and sawdust without chemicals or binders in the form of briquettes at hand.

Heating briquettes offer clean use and long-lasting combustion. Sawdust provides heat with great calorific value, pomace offers significant durability of combustion which reaches 6 hours.
