FAQ
Biochar production workflow
Feedstock Preparation
Dry and shred the feedstock to achieve the feedstock requirements. This is essential to ensure optimal performance and maximum biochar yield.
01
Automatic Pyrolysis
The equipment automatically feeds the pyrolysis barrel with feedstock, controls the residence time, and disperses biochar into the biochar bin.
03
Heat Generation
The equipment is ignited to burn the biomass fuel. At 300°C, switch to auto-mode and the equipment will refuel the burner until the equipment reaches 500°C.
02
Biochar Collection
Collect biochar once the bin is full (every ~1 hour), and replace the bin with a new one. Let the biochar cool down for 24 hours.
