KERONE has developed a new pyrolysis plant technology that enables biomass to be converted on-the-spot into high value biochar product. Pyrolysis is the high-temperature treatment of wood waste in a low-oxygen atmosphere to manufacture a special type of char called as biochar, which has a variety of valuable applications. The technology is especially useful for the treatment of invasive pest tree and plant species, providing a way of complete destruction with minimal risk of spread. A complicated thermal oxidiser arrangement also makes the technology suitable for contaminated biomass sources where contaminants can be volatilised and destroyed in the high-temperature afterburner flue system.
Key Features- Easily transportable unit with access to most remote areas.
- Batch processing with 13 and 30 m3 internal volume per batch.
- Pyrolysis converts biomass to 1–2.5 tons of biochar per batch.
- Batch processing takes a few hours (normally 4–6 hrs. per batch)
- Targeted temperature range can be selected (300–550 °C).
- Destruction of all pathogens.
- High-quality char product with a very high fixed carbon content.
- Very low to zero smoke emissions.
- Minimal operating costs: unit operates itself after loading with auto-turn off at end of run, and can be operated unattended.
