ABOUT MAK GROUP
MAK GROUP is a team of engineers and specialists with hands-on experience in wood charcoal, biochar and industrial equipment for thermal conversion of woody biomass. We combine engineering knowledge, production practice and a deep understanding of carbonisation.
Discuss a project→01 / CARBON ECONOMY
From the beginning, we understood that carbon footprints, industrial emission control and responsible resource use would become central issues for the global economy.
Industry is moving towards low-carbon production, reducing fossil-fuel use and seeking renewable sources of process carbon and energy.
Biochar and wood charcoal can partially replace coal, coke, fossil carbon materials and selected conventional fuels in metallurgy, industry, construction, energy and agriculture. MAK GROUP therefore focuses on the efficiency of the entire process, not only on carbon production.
02 / R&D
MAK GROUP has invested substantial resources and thousands of engineering hours in the study of continuous carbonisation.
We have tested retort systems under different operating conditions, evaluated diverse feedstocks, product quality, energy balances and routes for using pyrolysis co-products.
This experience lets us configure each plant for its feedstock, capacity, final product, climate and site infrastructure rather than applying a universal template.
Split logs and prepared wood
Wood chips of different species and fractions
Hardwood and softwood
Feedstock with varying moisture and density
Alternative plant biomass
PKS — palm kernel shell
03 / ENERGY & VALUE
Our approach is to obtain the greatest technical and economic value from every tonne of biomass.
Modern carbon production does not stop at charcoal or biochar. Pyrolysis gas contains valuable energy that can be returned to the process.
Controlled collection and use of pyrolysis gas
Pyrolysis energy supporting carbonisation
Heat for feedstock drying and process needs
Surplus heat for external consumers
Optional electricity generation
Gas cleaning, condensate management and emission control
Closed process circuit without uncontrolled pyrolysis-gas release
Conversion of carbon fines into briquettes and pellets
Higher profitability and resource efficiency
We consider the complete plant — from feedstock reception to cooling, screening, upgrading and packaging.
04 / COMPLETE CYCLE
MAK GROUP supports every project stage:
Feedstock, site and product assessment
Technology concept
Mass and energy balance
Plant engineering
Equipment selection and manufacture
Delivery coordination
Installation and supervision
Commissioning
Personnel training
Ramp-up to design parameters
Technical support
We create economically efficient plants that use process energy responsibly and meet modern environmental requirements.
05 / NETWORK
MAK GROUP has built a stable international network of specialised partners, manufacturers, designers and contractors.
Each participant contributes expertise in carbonisation, steel structures, feedstock handling, drying, gas cleaning, heat exchange, automation, electrical systems, construction, installation and commissioning.
Together we deliver projects of different scales and complexity — from individual process units to complete charcoal, biochar, pellet and briquette plants.
06 / PURPOSE
To create plants where biomass is used efficiently, carbon remains in a useful product, pyrolysis energy returns to the process and environmental impact is progressively reduced.
We believe the future of carbon production lies in engineering efficiency, environmental responsibility and economic viability.
