Carbonization Processing Technology
❑ K2 Technologies of Japan developed the Carbonization Furnace Technology;
❑ Carbon Furnace Technology operates under the principle of ‘Pyrolysis’
through ‘Destructive Distillation’;
Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temp
eratures in the absence of oxygen. It involves the simultaneous change of chemica
l composition and physical phase, and is irreversible.
Pyrolysis is the thermal degradation of organic materials, using an indirect sou
rce of heat at 750-1,200°C in the absence of oxygen, to produce a synthesis
gas, leaving behind a carbon char.
Pyrolysis is mostly for organic materials or Biomass
Destructive Distillation is the decomposition of a solid by heating it in a close
d container and collecting the volatile constituents given off. It is the process in
which a solid material is heated at high temperature out of contact with air to m
ake coke, coal, tar, or charcoal. It is called “destructive” because the chemical
composition of the end product is distinctly different from that of the input mater
ial.

What makes Carbonization Processing Technology unique?
➢ The ‘Proprietary K2 Binder Material’
➢ The ‘K2 Binder’ is a natural inorganic compound (powder form) used to c
oat the surface of the waste materials of both organic or inorganic feedst
ock that will be processed by the Carbonizing Machine.
➢ The ‘K2 Binder’ is responsible for:
▪generation of ‘distillation gas’ that is ‘burned’ during the carbonization
process; the coated feedstock is not burned but the ‘distillation gas’ do;
oThe product of combustion produces more heat thus providing
sustainable heat source;
▪Capturing “dioxin & furan” prevents the formation of chlorine-based chemical,
wherein K2 Binder eliminates ‘dioxin & furan’ emissions;
▪the production of activated charcoal (biochar);
▪the carbonization of plastics, toxic medical waste and other inorganic
material is made possible;

Description of The Carbonization Process
1. Feedstock Preparation
a. shredding of the materials to uniform sizes
b. preparation of the Binder Solution
c. mixing of the K2 binder solution and the shredded feedstock
2. Preparation of the Machine
a. heating-up using diesel fuel/10mins or until 400degC is reached
under anaerobic condition; automatically stops the use of diesel
fuel once continuous high temperature is achieved.
b. run all conveyors, blowers, kiln, burners, feeder screws, etc.;
c. diesel-fed burners heat-up the outer surface of the kiln hence n
o direct fire gets in contact with feedstock;
d. sensor settings are pre-set; cooling system running;

Description of The Carbonization Process
3. Coated materials is fed into the rotating kiln by the screw feeder;
➢partial drying of the materials takes place in the feeder screw;
➢an absorption blower sucks oxygen carrying air from the rotating kiln;
➢some hot gas is re-directed back to the kiln;
➢as the coated materials travel across the kiln, gas evaporates from
the coating and gets burned;
➢material is charred as it reaches the end part of the kiln;
➢charred material is extracted and cooled in the charcoal extraction
conveyor.
4. Carbonization of the feedstock begins as it enters the rotating kiln;
➢gas is produced by the coating of the feedstock
➢gas is combusted by the hot air inside the kiln thus producing ad
ditional heat;
➢as more waste is fed into the kiln, more heat is produced

Description of The Carbonization Process
5. Extracting the exhaust gas (emission);
➢ hot gas exits from the secondary combustion chamber;
➢ passes through the heat exchanger;
➢ passes through the cyclone dust collector;
➢ expelled to the atmosphere by the exhaust blower in the chimney;
➢ the chimney is equipped with a CEMS
6. The secondary combustion chamber is equipped with dual-mode
-diesel-fed burners that operates automatically if emission is sensed
to be out of specs
