CHARCOAL PRODUCTION PROCESS
The charcoal production process begins with harvesting and preparing the firewood, including drying. This wood then undergoes carbonization, which is incomplete combustion at high temperatures (400–700°C) in the absence of oxygen, to remove water and volatile compounds. Finally, the resulting charcoal is cooled, unloaded, sieved, graded, and packaged for distribution.
Production Process Stages
Raw Material Acquisition:
Sustainable cultivation or harvesting of wood and waste.
The logs are felled, transported, and prepared, sorted by size, or shredded.
Drying:
The wood is stored to dry in the sun or in silos, reducing its moisture content before carbonization.
Carbonization (Pyrolysis):
Dry wood is placed in a kiln or charcoal kiln and heated in an environment with very little oxygen. Incomplete combustion at temperatures ranging from 400 to 700 °C eliminates volatile components and water. This process transforms the wood into charcoal, a material with a higher carbon concentration that is more porous and lighter. Cooling and Discharge:
The charcoal is left to cool inside the kiln to prevent it from burning completely upon contact with oxygen. Traditionally, this can take 14–16 days, so the charcoal must be thoroughly cooled before being removed.
Processing and Packaging:
The cooled charcoal is removed from the kiln and spread out to remove any remaining dirt or impurities. It is then sieved to classify the pieces by size and packaged for sale.
ABOUT US
A company founded in September 1996 with the goal of marketing agricultural and livestock products and byproducts for the domestic and export markets.
Our company is supported by a team based on respect for nature, environmental conservation, and support for productive projects that align with our culture.
Sustainability Commitment
We operate with a strong environmental and social responsibility philosophy. Through our foundation BioInn, we work to reduce polluting emissions, mitigate global warming, and combat the greenhouse effect.of our key initiatives is reforestation, which helps conserve the species used in charcoal production. This process ensures long-term sustainability while protecting biodiversity.
Our Charcoal
We specialize in the production and export of natural charcoal for barbecues and grills, offering multiple benefits:
-
Low smoke generation
-
High calorific value
-
Cost-effective
-
Easy to storeSafe to use
We have a foundation called BioInn, where we seek to reduce polluting emissions into the environment by reducing global warming or the greenhouse effect. Our ongoing reforestation process contributes to the conservation of the species used in charcoal production.
Our company markets charcoal for barbecues and grills because it has the benefits of low smoke generation, high calorific value, is economical, easy to store, and is safe.
BioInn aims to contribute to the fight to guarantee environmental balance, cultural recognition, and social dignity.
The charcoal is a solid, brittle, and porous combustible material with a high carbon content (around 98%). It is produced by heating wood and plant residues to temperatures between 400 and 700°C in the absence of air. The calorific value of charcoal ranges from 29,000 to 35,000 kJ/kg, and the calorific value varies from 12,000 to 21,000 kJ/kg.

FRUIT PULP
We have the capacity to export fruit pulp in more than 15 different flavors, already certified by Icontec and others. Exports have already been made to Russia and the United States, and we are targeting Dubai.
The performance of Colombian fruit exports in recent years has been characterized by a growing trend, standing out as a key sector for the growth of the non-mining-energy basket, where it accounts for nearly 7%.
MEAT
Colombia has a significant livestock sector, which is reflected in the increase in meat exports from January to July of this year. Colombia exported USD 120 million (29,031 tons) worth of beef, while international sales of this protein reached USD 123.3 million (34,124 tons) in 2020.
• The countries that buy the most meat are Chile, Russia, and Hong Kong, and we are experiencing significant growth in the Middle East and in countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, and the United Arab Emirates. Vietnam, Catar, Congo, Gabón, Malta, Costa de Marfil, Liberia, Georgia, Sierra Leona y Aruba.
