Get Biochar to Apply: How It Bring Business Opportunity?

Biochar Carbon Removal

Carbon Sequestration: Rising Carbon Sink Market

Plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Biochar is a tool that converts this kind of CO2 into a stable form of carbon. Its stable chemical structure can store carbon underground for hundreds of years. Thus, this application helps with carbon removal and addresses climate change.

Biochar for Soil Improvement

Agricultural Usage and Soil Improvement

Biochar improves soil quality and promotes plants growth in such functions:

  • enhance soil aeration, drainage, promoting nutrient cycling in the soil.
  • adsorb harmful substances in the soil, remediating polluted soils.
  • neutralize acidic soils
Biochar Feed Additive

Feed Additive: Sustainable Low-carbon Animal Husbandry

  • Methane Absorption: Ruminant methane emissions contribute to 30% of global anthropogenic methane emissions. Biochar’s excellent adsorption properties help mitigate this impact.
  • Feed Detoxification: Biochar reduces harmful substances in feed like pathogens, improving overall animal health.
Biochar Applied in Metal Smelting

Metal Smelting Industry

  • Reducing Agent: Biochar serves as a substitute for traditional coke or coal in metal ore purification and smelting.
  • Energy Source: With high calorific value, biochar can partially replace fossil fuels (such as coal and coke) for heating equipment like smelting furnaces. This contributes to cleaner production processes.

Analysis of Final Biochar – Biochar Specification

About Biochar Yield

Taking sawdust, rice rusk and crushed coconut shell as examples, using 1 ton raw materials with moisture content below 10% can get 280kg-310kg finished charcoal. The proportion is basically maintained at 3:1, after removing the moisture.

Common Biomass Types to Make Biochar

  • Agricultural Waste: Rice husk, straws, sugarcane bagasse, jute stalks.
  • Forestry Waste: Wood chips, sawdust, wood shavings, bamboo waste, eucalyptus bark.
  • Food Processing Waste: Coconut shells, palm kernel shells, peanut shells, almond shells, hazelnut shells, olive husks, and coffee grounds.
  • etc.

Standard to Choose Biomass Materials Types

  • Good flowability: Poor flowability can cause materials to stop flowing and accumulate in the hopper (e.g., palm fibers have poor flowability).
  • Uniform size: Oversized materials can jam the feed screw, while overly thin materials tend to turn into powder.
  • Minimal dust/powder: Excessive powder in raw materials can clog pipelines and affect biochar quality. (Harder materials, such as coconut or fruit shells, are recommended.)

Requirements for Biomass Materials Feeding

  • Size: 5-20mm (8 mm is the best). Generally, a crusher is required for raw materials larger than 2cm.
    The smaller the feeding size, the smaller the gap between the materials, and the smaller the oxygen intake.
  • Moisture: Normally, keep biomass moisture below 15%.
    A dryer becomes necessary when the moisture content exceeds 15%. One dryer can reduce the moisture by 30%. When the moisture content of the raw materials is higher than 45%, two dryers are required.

Working Video of Biochar Production Equipment

01 Biomass Feeding

Load biomass waste to the silo. Then screw belt conveyor transports them into the inner cylinder of the biomass pyrolysis reactor (medium-temperature zone).

02 Biomass Pyrolysis into Biochar

In the inner cylinder (medium-temperature zone), biomass materials undergo drying and semi-carbonization. Then the screw pushes them to drop into the outer cylinder (high-temperature zone) for complete pyrolysis, producing biochar.

03 Syngas Recycling

The syngas generated in the reactor flows through pipes to a cyclone dust collector, where dust is removed. A fan then draws the gas into the furnace, using it as a heat source for the reactor.

04 Biochar Discharging

Discharge biochar through the water cooling discharging system. Normally, the final biochar temperature is ≤45°C.

If you require a stricter temperature standard, please inform us in advance so that we can adjust the configuration solution.

05 Exhaust Gas Treatment

After utilizing the heat source, the exhaust gases are cooled by an air heat exchanger and then undergo dedusting, desulfurization, and activated carbon adsorption. The emissions meet European standards for air quality (dust removal complies with EU standards).
