Biomass Pyrolysis Plant

Biochar Charcoal Production

Biomass pyrolysis plant is a device that utilizes pyrolysis technology to convert biomass into biochar. Biomass are characterized by its reliability, low pollution, and widespread distribution. Meanwhile, the primary end product, biochar, possesses high economic value and extensive application prospects. So we can take advantage of the biomass pyrolysis machine for sale to make great profits.

Why Biomass Pyrolysis?

Biomass pyrolysis offers multiple environmental and economic benefits, which is why it is increasingly recommended.

Environmental friendliness

As biomass undergoes pyrolysis, it is transformed into valuable biochar, bio-oil, and biogas. This process occurs in the absence of oxygen. So it minimizes the release of harmful emissions commonly associated with traditional combustion methods. Moreover, biochar can promote carbon sequestration, making biomass pyrolysis one of the eco-friendly solutions to combat climate change.

Economic potential

The economic benefit of biomass pyrolysis stems from its ability to turn organic waste into valuable products. The end products, biochar, bio-oil, and syngas, find applications in agriculture, energy generation, and other industries. This creates a sustainable revenue stream. Additionally, biomass pyrolysis projects present lucrative opportunities for investment, job creation, and economic growth.

Environmental and Economic Benefits of Biomass Pyrolysis

What Is Biomass?

Biomass refers to organic materials, primarily plant and animal matter, that can be used as a source of energy. This can include a wide range of biological materials, such as wood, crop residues, animal manure, etc. Here are the two main types of biomass.

Woody biomass

Includes wood branches, wood chips, wood shavings, sawdust etc.

What Can a Biomass Pyrolysis Plant Does?

Biomass pyrolysis equipment is designed to convert biomass into charcoal through pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic matter at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. The primary products of biomass pyrolysis are biochar, bio-oil, and syngas.

How Does the Biomass Pyrolysis Process Work?

1. Biomass preparation
  • moisture≤15%;
  • size≤20mm (5-8mm is the best).
2. Feeding

Load prepared biomass to the pyrolysis reactor by a screw feeder.

3. Heating

Heat the pyrolysis reactor for 60-90 minutes.

4. Pyrolysis(Carbonization)

At around 150℃, biomass will begin to decompose. At around 350℃, charcoal will continuously be produced. After 15-20 minutes, the reaction concludes.

5. Cooling discharging

The produced charcoal will be discharged safely by the water-cooling screw auto discharger. Its temperature will be reduced to below 45℃.

6. Exhaust gas treatment

The hot smoke from the reactor is discharged up to standard after multiple dust removal treatments (cyclone, dedusting water spray, ceramic ring absorption, and the defogging plate).

Applications of Biomass Pyrolysis Output

The thermal decomposition process yields valuable by-products such as biochar, wood vinegar, tar, and biogas. Biochar, a carbon-rich material, finds diverse applications across various industries. Additionally, wood vinegar, tar, and biogas each have distinctive uses.

Biochar use
Biochar for soil improvement or remediation
Soil improvement: The porous structure of biochar enhances soil water retention and aeration. Its outstanding adsorptive capacity allows it to absorb detrimental substances like heavy metal ions and pesticide residues in the soil. Additionally, its alkaline nature aids in reducing soil acidity.
Biochar as fuel
Fuel: Owing to its excellent combustion properties, biochar finds extensive application as a fuel in factories. Moreover, the delightful flavor makes biomass charcoal a preferred choice for hookah and BBQ charcoal.
Biochar animal feed
Biochar animal feed: Biochar feed made by Adding biochar to livestock feed can  improve ruminants gut health by working on the digestive system, while removing unwanted pathogens.
Wood vinegar/Tar/Biogas
Wood vinegar
Wood vinegar
  • Used as a food preservative to enhance the anti-mildew, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties of food.
  • Used as a deodorant and air freshener.
  • Used as plant nutrition regulates auxin, fertilizer, or insecticide.
Tar
Tar
  • Used as important materials in shipbuilding and paint industry.
  • Used to lay asphalt pavement.
  • Used to make waterproof coatings for buildings.
Biogas
Biogas
  • Usually recycled to heat the pyrolysis reactor.

Features of Biomass Pyrolysis Plant

Energy-saving design
  • The biomass carbonization machine incorporates a dual-return heating structure, effectively maximizing energy utilization by recycling excess heat generated during the pyrolysis process.
  • The syngas recycling system is designed to convey gas for heating the biomass pyrolysis reactor by a fan. This contributes to savings in fossil energy consumption.

Safe design

  • Beston bio charcoal production plant runs under fully sealed conditions, which can avoid the leakage of residual gas.
  • The main furnace is equipped with an explosion-proof vent, which helps prevent excessive pressure inside the equipment.
  • The carbonizing furnace is covered by casing, which has played an important role in protecting workers from scalding.
  • The PLC cabinet is equipped with an alarm device. It will sound an alarm in the event of a malfunction in the electrical components.
  • The explosion-proof water seal in the gas pipeline prevents abnormal gas pressure in the equipment.
  • The machine has set the cooling system to decline the temperature of charcoal to 30℃before discharging, which is safer for the whole workshop.
Eco-friendly design
  • The cyclone dust collectors maximally reduce dust pollution.
  • The dust removal systems of the spray tower, desulfurization tower, and denitrification tower ensure that the exhaust gas meets emission standards. It can meet the highest EU environmental standards.
