PyroGreen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology enterprise specializing in green renewable energy, green chemical engineering, and energy conservation and environmental protection. Our expertise encompasses advanced biochar production equipment, including our core innovation: a rotary kiln biochar carbonization system based on internal indirect heating technology. This system represents a leap forward in efficient and controllable thermochemical conversion.

 

What is Biochar?

  

Biochar is a carbon-rich solid material made through a thermochemical conversion process. The essence of its preparation is to pyrolyze organic biomass at high temperatures in an oxygen-limited or oxygen-free environment, thereby stabilizing carbon.

 

Soil Functions and Benefits of Biochar

  

Functional Categories

Brief Introduction of Scientific Mechanisms and Effects

Carbon Sequestration & Stabilization

The pyrolysis process reorganizes unstable organic carbon into highly aromatic stable structures, significantly extending its residence time in the soil

Soil Physical Improvement

The developed porous structure helps reduce soil bulk density and increase porosity, enhancing water-holding capacity and aeration.

Soil Chemical Improvement

Rich surface functional groups and huge specific surface area provide strong ion exchange and adsorption capabilities, improving soil fertility retention.

Soil Biological Promotion

The porous structure provides habitat and physical protection for soil microorganisms, promoting diversity and activity.

Advantages of Our Rotary Kiln Design

 

The rotary kiln design is central to our system's performance. As a biomass rotary kiln, it operates on distinct technical principles:

Indirect Heating Method:  Heat is transferred through the rotating kiln wall, preventing direct contact between biomass and flame. This ensures precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution.
Anoxic Environment Control:  The sealed rotary kiln design maintains the necessary oxygen-free atmosphere, maximizing solid carbon yield.
Continuous & Controllable Process:  The continuous rotary kiln motion allows for constant flipping and advancement of material. Coupled with precise control over temperature and residence time, it guarantees consistent product quality.
Environmentally Friendly Operation:  The closed system allows pyrolysis gases to be recycled for process heating, enabling energy circulation and controlled emissions.

  

Biochar Rotary Kiln Unit for sale

 

We offer a range of standardized rotary kiln models to suit various scales:

Small/Medium Units:  Ideal for distributed production at farms or community scales.
Large Integrated Systems:  Designed for regional biomass centers or industrial biochar kiln production lines.
System Processing Power and Output Our biomass rotary kiln is designed to process diverse agricultural and forestry residues. Under standard conditions, it efficiently converts biomass into stable biochar, with yield depending on feedstock and process parameters.

 

The Scientific Pyrolysis Process

Drying & Preheating:  Biomass absorbs heat, removing moisture.
Pyrolysis & Carbonization:  Under oxygen-limited, moderate-high temperature conditions within the rotary kiln, organic components (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin) undergo chemical breakdown and recombination, forming a solid carbon skeleton.
Cooling & Stabilization:  The hot biochar is cooled under controlled conditions to become a stable final product.
