“The Production of Bamboo Charcoal”
The production of bamboo charcoal is the continuum enterprise which collect the bamboo
joint residue from chopstick production station in Pah Pung Sub-district and close
community for 10 tons/day to produce 3 tons/day of bamboo charcoal to be the sample of
environmental management, reduction of residue burning and transform to creating shared
value (CSV). This is the clean energy to substitute the usage of LPG and able to absorb the
expense and provide the income for community and also be the sample of fully burning of
agricultural residue because bamboo charcoal has the porous structure, the dank smell will
diffuse to these pores and be absorbed through walls and pores. The higher pores will
possess more capacities of absorption. Bamboo charcoal in Japanese is Takezumi which is
flavored to use in decoration, deodorizing, moisture removal, discharge negative ions and
far infrared ray that all are useful for the health. It is allowed to drop in canal or river to
reduce the destruction of water, treat waste water, increase the minerals such as calcium,
potassium and magnesium.
Production of Bamboo Charcoal:
1. High quality charcoal is produced by cold-pressed process by mixing bamboo
charcoal powder with water and tapioca starch. Then pass through screw extruder
and take a sun to remove the moist. Then move to oven and dry to be 5% of
moisture or below.
2. High quality charcoal is produced by hot-pressed process by heating the bamboo
sawdust in oven before sending to screw extruder. When it is formed as briquette,
burnt by burner at very high temperature again. The material used in hot-pressed
process is bamboo sawdust. Once it is compressed by heat, the internal matter will
be extend itself and let it form as briquette with out any adhesive but the extruder
must be hot compressive type.

Advantages of Bamboo Charcoal
1. High heat capacity due to fully combustion
2. No residual chemicals and health destruction because it is burnt at above 800 O
3. 2.5-3 times longer than regular wooden charcoal
4. It is save because of longer usage, no brittle, and no quenching down when it already
flamed, this don’t waste it because it will be burnt until it transform to be ash
5. No smoke due to small amount of ash
6. No smell because it is produced from 100% natural material, no chemical added.
7. No quenching during burning, even in the low air circulation place. No need to
change it frequently
8. Constant heating and no flicker due to the equal density of whole charcoal

White charcoal, in Japanese is Bincho Tan or Bincho-Zumi. It is higher quality charcoal than
the regular which burnt at around 1,000 degree Celsius. We will notice that the external skin
of charcoal is pale white like ash, this is the reason to call “white charcoal”. When break it,
we will see the glossy black at the broken joint, this is reflected to the strength and when we
knock it, it will make a clear sonorous sound like a metal.
Usage
White charcoal has higher heat capacity than charcoal briquette and other wooden
charcoal. It is able to stay for many hours, smokeless, no pollution or has which may be
harmful to human and environment and can be used in air conditioned room.
High Quality Bamboo White Charcoal
1. Increase the oxygen, mineral, calcium, potassium, magnesium and etc. in water,
attenuate water and stimulate dust sedimentation in water.
2. For health therapy room, it is able to purify the air, deodorize, absorb the moisture
and discharge negative ions and far infrared ray which are the benefit for health.
3. Apply the bamboo charcoal as main ingredient of various healthy products such as
soap, shampoo, toothpaste and toxic absorbance bead.
4. The manufacturing process through the temperature over 1,000 oC which make it
possible to produce and discharge negative ions and far infrared ray. These enhance
the health by transform free radical to be oxygen by catching such radical. This
reaction which occur in the body will result of the increase of oxygen in body that
make the clear brain, provide better blood circulation and then let the body to wash
away the residue matter easier with the better health. The long living in the area of
bamboo will help in vasodilation which reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, provide
well blood circulation, regular blood pressure and suitable state of blood, bone
structure is stronger, better excretory system, easily remove the residue, better
inspiration, better metabolism, lower heart rate, stronger immune system, more
effective of automatic nervous system, sleep well and deeply, discreet mental and
faster recover from tiredness
Advantages of White Charcoal
White charcoal has higher heat capacity than charcoal briquette and common charcoal
White charcoal is able to use in air conditioned room because it has no smoke
White charcoal has high strength, non-easy broken, non-brittle
White charcoal has no spark during heating due to its 20% higher density than regular one
White charcoal is electrical conductor with resistance of 20~3K Ohm
White charcoal has a few of ash
White charcoal has fix-carbon more than 85%
White charcoal has no volatile gas which be harmful for human and environment
“Resource of Raw Material”
The potential of readiness in Pah Pung Sub-district community management
There are 100,000 sprouts/year managed by Bamboo sprout cultivation community
enterprise of Pah Pung
Foundation of Pah Pung community development prepare for seeding 100,000 sprouts/year
by divided the participation in the practice to be 2 types; operation and responsibility of
foundation for 20,000 sprouts/year (Learning Center) and operation by members of five
villages’ community networks in Pah Pung Sub-district which responsible for 80,000 sprouts.
The objective is to prepare for the cultivation in area of Pah Pung Sub-district for 500
rais/year and in the cooperative project area of Lampang Province for 500 rais/year.
