A biochar pyrolysis machine is the cornerstone of biomass-to-biochar conversion. It provides a high-temperature, oxygen-free environment that ensures efficient processing. This enables optimal biomass utilization and stable production of high-quality biochar.

Biochar Pyrolysis Equipment

Control Pyrolysis Conditions Precisely

The quality of biochar largely depends on the pyrolysis conditions. Advanced biochar production equipment can regulate the two necessary conditions:

  • High-temperature Control: Pyrolysis generally occurs at 300–600°C. Different temperature ranges affect the degree of carbonization and biochar’s suitability for specific applications.
  • Oxygen-Free Environment: By isolating oxygen, the machine stops biomass from burning and turns it into high-quality biochar.

Enhance Biochar Quality

High-quality biochar is essential for applications such as soil improvement, carbon removal. Advanced biochar pyrolysis machine helps optimize its characteristics:

  • Retent Beneficial Carbon Structures: The controlled environment preserves the stable, carbon-rich structure and porosity of biochar, enhancing its functionality, such as water retention, adsorptivity.
  • Reduce Ash and Impurities: Properly managed pyrolysis minimizes undesirable by-products, ensuring that the final biochar is of high purity and suitable for advanced applications.

Biochar Pyrolysis for Alternative Fuel

Alternative Fuel

You can use biochar as an alternative industrial fuel in various factories. Or you can apply it as BBQ charcoal and hookah charcoal.

Biochar Pyrolysis Process: Equipment Workflow

01 Pretreatment

The biochar pyrolysis machine can accept a variety of biomass feedstocks, including wood chips, sawdust, straw, rice husks, coconut shells, and others.

Key requirements:

  • Moisture content < 15%
  • 5 mm < Particle size < 20 mm
  • Pourable and free-flowing

02 Feeding

Input the biomass into the biochar pyrolysis reactor. A screw feeder efficiently transports the biomass that meets the feeding requirements into the inner cylinder of the reactor.

03 Pyrolysis

The biohar pyrolysis reactor is heated to 280–350 °C. Biomass undergoes dehydration, demethylation, and volatile release, producing biochar and syngas.

04 Syngas Recycling

Syngas enters the spray dedusting system to remove sulfur compounds, then is recycled via a draft fan to provide heat for the pyrolysis reactor and dryer.

05 Cooling Discharging

High-temperature biochar is cooled through water heat exchange, then discharged by a screw system. The final biochar temperature drops below 45 °C.

06 Exhaust Gas Treatment

The hot smoke from the reactor is purified in the cyclone emission dedustor, and then passes through the fuel condenser. It is further cleaned in the dedusting system using water washing, water spray, ceramic ring adsorption, and activated carbon adsorption. Finally, the expelled exhaust gas will meet EU standards.
