Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) has redesigned its bamboo charcoaling kiln to make high quality charcoal at a higher yield.

According to Engr. Belen B. Bisana, chief of the institute’s Bio-Energy and Equipment Development Section, the improved kiln is intended to produce high quality charcoal for industrial uses such as removing odor, purifying water, and maintaining soil alkalinity. The new kiln can be loaded with at most 500 kilos of bamboo slats, thereby yielding 35-40 percentmore charcoal compared to the conventional drum kiln that only makes 25-31 percent.

Great things can start from humble beginnings, they say. In the case of four sisters from Brgy.Parang-Parang, Orani, Bataan, it all started with polvoron.
