Dear AD,
Many of us are interested in your work on
developing a kiln for continuous charring.
It is in reference to sugarcane leaves, but could possibly apply to
other biomass and even to drying (not just pyrolysis).
Please inform us whenever you are comfortable with sharing the info.
Generalities first. Eventually details. We wish you GREAT success
with something that has been a real challenge for far too long. I am
assuming that it is with relatively low cost, probably substantial
manual labor, and in the ARTI tradition of the Appropriate Rural
Technology Institute.

Dear Tom and Lloyd,
thanks a lot for the inputs. We make charcoal from sugarcane leaves
that are left behind after harvest of sugarcane. One hectare produces
about 10 ton leaves, which in turn yield about 3 ton char. Our present
kilns work in batches, and are slow. I am in the process of developing
a kiln for continuous charring. We are also looking for uses of
charcoal apart from cooking. Making activated charcoal is one of them,
but even a wider use would be to use it as vehicular fuel. My
daughter's name is Priyadarshini (Priya for short).
Yours
A.D.Karve
