Assess feedstock availability, competing uses, cost, moisture and contaminants.
THE APPROACH
Eco-Char is evaluating controlled biomass carbonization and associated preparation, gas management, product handling, and quality-assurance steps.
PROCESS STAGES
Assess feedstock availability, competing uses, cost, moisture and contaminants.
Plan material handling, sorting, size reduction and drying as required.
Evaluate controlled thermal processing and treatment of vapours and gases.
Determine yield, ash, fixed carbon, calorific value and application fit.
A rotary carbonization kiln with condenser is one candidate configuration, not a confirmed installed production system. Throughput, energy efficiency, air-emissions performance and suitable abatement must be demonstrated before commercial claims are made.
