<div dir="ltr">Hello Mr. Karve,<div>Thanks for your informative message, it's always encouraging to hear about charcoal productions units that are successfully working in the field. What is the price of the TLUD equipment you mentioned? Like I wrote in a previous email this morning, to keep our costs down at this early start-up stage, we are looking to construct a simple system on-site if possible.</div><div>Is your kiln proprietary, or is it possible to get some photo's of your system?</div><div>Thanks again, Mr. Karve.</div><div>-Angie </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 4, 2015 at 1:15 PM, Anand Karve <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adkarve@gmail.com" target="_blank">adkarve@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear Angie,<div>If you want charcoal just for burning or for application to the soil, we can provide you with a simple kiln, based on the TLUD principle. The kiln is supplied in the form of metal panels, which only need to be bolted together (the nuts and bolts are provided with the panels). The entire kit comes packed in a cardboard box, about 1mX1mX10cm. Almost 100 such kilns are in operation in India. The kilns have been tested on coconut shells (with and without husk). If the material to be charred is dry, the kiln does not produce any smoke. The chamber in which the material is filled, has a capacity of only 100 litres, but once you have the kiln, you can just enlarge its dimensions and scale it up. </div><div><div>Yours </div></div><div>A.D.Karve</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div>***<br>Dr. A.D.
