What is biochar?
There’s a new wave to ride in the green market, and that’s biochar. Although, new isn’t actually accurate. Biochar has been used for over 2,000 years and has long been used to improve soil, making it more rich and fertile. For example, in the Amazon it is called Terra Preta. But it does seem new, and that is because it is only recently gaining popularity and notoriety as a method of soil regeneration and to fight the impact of climate change.
Can you make Biochar with an Air Curtain Incinerator?
Yes, absolutely. Our team at Burn Debris has worked directly with the research teams. Biochar has been produced and certified using air curtain incinerators.
Biochar production efficiency depends on three key factors: the yield percentage from each ton of raw material, the burn time, and the cycle time for expelling finished biochar, quenching and loading new waste. Our system optimizes this process. One impressive aspect is our 45-second cycle time between full pit burns and quenching. This greatly impacts the flow for maximum throughput.
How to become a Biochar production facility
We at Burn Debris have been working hard to spearhead the development of and education needed for the advancement of burning technologies. If you would like to get involved in producing Biochar, please contact our office. If you would like to purchase Biochar on a large scale or ash in bulk for composting, please contact our office.
