Biochar Production Equipment

Biochar Solutions` production equipment optimizes biochar for the characteristics of fixed carbon and high surface area, through exothermic production. BSI equipment is capable of continuously processing woodchip and nut hull feedstock into biochar in a proprietary, two-stage process. Other feedstock is possible to run in the equipment using a variety of operation techniques not all of which are continuous. The following two stage process is focused on the processing of a dry woodchip feedstock free of dirt, rocks and fines. In the first stage of the process, the material is carbonized in a controlled aerobic (O2 limited) environment at a temperature between 500-700 °C for less than one minute. This process takes place in the primary reactor; this is the first large cylinder on the equipment skid. All the heat (thermal energy) for the process is produced in the exothermic partial oxidation reaction.
