About company

Since 2014, the Synergy-Dream company has been producing charcoal furnaces of a new generation – “ModEco”.

Before creating the company, we studied existing charcoal technologies for three years. Using experimental installations, we studied the processes of wood pyrolysis from a scientific and practical perspective. Hundreds of cubic meters of wood were charred and about two hundred tons of charcoal were obtained. We analyzed the results obtained, built graphs, clarified the relationships between processes, made calculations, and moved stubbornly forward towards the intended goal – to create a furnace that can truly and rightfully be called a “charcoal burner’s dream.” We created our own concept for a charcoal furnace and decided to create the Synergy-Dream company.

The company’s goal is to produce equipment that ensures the highest quality of charcoal, maximum environmental friendliness of technological processes, convenience and ease of operation. Having studied the economics of charcoal production, it was decided to produce furnaces with a capacity of 60 – 70 tons of charcoal per month. This is the productivity with which you can start a profitable business. 6 months after the company was founded, the first pilot model of the ModEco 4-60 series charcoal furnace began producing charcoal.

As a result of continuous operation of the prototype, more than 300 tons of charcoal were produced. The next stage in the company’s development was the production of three industrial furnaces.

Qualitative differences between the industrial model and the experimental one:

1. 1

   Transition from manual control of the furnace to automatic.

2. 2

   The furnace was equipped with a pre-drying complex, which made it possible to work on raw materials with a relative humidity of up to 70%. During the drying process, the moisture content of the raw material is reduced to 20–25% due to the use of excess thermal energy when burning pyrolysis gases.

3. 3

   Adjustments have been made to the furnace lining system. For thermal protection, fire-resistant materials are used, designed for long-term operation at temperatures of 1250 degrees C.

4. 4

   All control gates (dampers) have been moved to zones of the lowest possible temperatures.

5. 5

   The discharge compartment of each retort is equipped with an additional high-temperature gas circuit for guaranteed evaporation of pyrolysis products in a liquid state with their subsequent supply to the furnace. This solution ensures maximum environmental friendliness of our furnaces.

Over ten years, more than 30 furnaces were manufactured. We are constantly working on modernizing our furnaces.

Furnaces for the charring of coconut shells and almond seeds were designed and manufactured. A design scheme has been developed for changing the furnace productivity in the range of 40 – 100 tons per month.

Pipes for natural draft (in the furnace design) have been replaced with smoke exhausters.

For the manufacture of retorts, along with traditional steel 09H2S, stainless steel 304 is used. In the case of using charring technology with an operating temperature of 800 degrees C, stainless steel 310 is used in the design of the retorts.

The most loaded unit, the retort unloading unit, is made of heat-resistant, wear-resistant Hardox Hi Temp steel.

A design for automatic unloading of the finished product from retorts is being developed.

All these changes are aimed for increasing our competitiveness in world markets.

Our subsidiaries LLC Carbogold (http://carbogold.com) and LLC Carbonland produce charcoal using ModEco series furnaces.

We manufacture and sell furnaces that we use ourselves.

Our principles are: highest quality at all stages of production, individual approach to each client, honesty and openness, focus on long-term cooperation. We will be happy to answer all your questions and implement your suggestions.
