Biochar pyrolysis equipment (also called biochar production systems or biomass carbonization equipment) converts biomass feedstocks—such as agricultural residues, forestry waste, and livestock manure—into high-quality biochar and syngas under oxygen-limited or anaerobic conditions. These systems ensure efficient biomass conversion, enabling renewable energy recovery and the generation of carbon credits through biochar production.
A complete biochar production system comprises four core modules:
Feedstock Pretreatment Unit | Pyrolysis Reactor | Product Separation & Collection System | Emission Control System |
Function: Prepares raw biomass through crushing, drying, and homogenization to ensure consistent pyrolysis efficiency.
Core Process: Pyrolysis occurs at 300–800°C in oxygen-deprived environments, decomposing biomass into:
Temperature: Determines biochar porosity & carbon stability
Heating Rate: Slow pyrolysis (biochar-focused) vs. fast pyrolysis (bio-oil-focused)
Residence Time: Ensures complete decomposition
Byproduct Recovery Systems |
|
Syngas Recycling: | Captures H₂/CH₄ for process heating or power generation |
Condenser: | Recovers liquid bio-oil |
Emission Control System |
Removes tars, particulates, and harmful gases (NOₓ/SOₓ) to meet EPA/EU emissions standards. |
Smart Control System |
Real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure, and oxygen levels.
|
Automated operation with PLC/HMI interfaces |
