FAQs
The Biochar Reactor is the foundational model comprising all necessary components for biochar production, spanning from the walking floor to supersacks.
Our Biochar Reactors utilize sustainable biomass, many of which are considered waste, as raw material for biochar production. Our systems are designed to efficiently process a wide variety of feedstocks, including:
- Wood chips and pellets
- Rice hulls, oat hulls, and wheat straw
- Coconut shells and husks
- Corn kernels, cobs, and stover
- Manure and digestate
- And many other agricultural, forestry, and organic residues
This versatility allows you to leverage locally available, renewable materials, including organic waste streams, to produce biochar while supporting sustainable and circular resource management.
Pyronexus offers a comprehensive portfolio of pyrolysis reactors, ranging from single-train units up to five-train configurations. Each system can be fully customized to your feedstocks, production scale, and project objectives, ensuring an optimal solution for your biochar operations.
Our Biochar Reactors are designed as fully integrated, customizable systems. Each component is engineered for efficiency, reliability, and optimal biochar quality:
- Walking Floor Trailer – Handles and transports feedstock directly into the pyrolysis chamber.
- Trailer Bin – Acts as a container and includes a screw conveyor for consistent feedstock delivery.
- Transfer Auger – A screw-type conveyor that moves feedstock into the pretreatment area.
- Grinder – Critical for pretreatment, it reduces feedstock particles to less than 1 inch, ensuring uniform pyrolysis.
- Dryer – Prepares feedstock by reducing moisture content to below 20%, essential for optimal reactor performance.
- Pyrolysis Reactor – Operates at 400°C to 700°C, converting biomass into high-quality biochar.
- Cooling Tower – An air-flow heat exchanger that cools biochar to approximately 60°C for safe handling.
- Super Sack Filling Equipment – Designed for efficient biochar packaging:
- 1 CuYd fixed super sack filling unit
- 2 CuYd fixed super sack filling unit
- 1–2 CuYd adjustable super sack filling unit
- Fully customizable configurations to meet project requirements - Stack Module – Safely vents leftover combustion gases.
- Afterburner – Recirculates combustion gases as waste heat for secondary applications. It controls VOCs, particulate matter (PM), CO, and HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants).
- Automation System – Fully automated operation allows precise control over:
- Reactor temperature setpoints
- Grinder and dryer feed rates
- Biomass feed speed
- Reaction and cooling times
- Current monitoring and safety shutdown protocols
Each component can be customized to your feedstock and production requirements, delivering a turnkey biochar solution that is both scalable and efficient.
For efficient and consistent biochar production, we require feedstock to meet the following conditions:
- Particle Size: Less than 1 inch, achieved through our integrated grinding system.
- Moisture Content: Below 20%, ensured via the Biochar Reactor's drying system.
These parameters are critical to maximize reactor efficiency, maintain stable operation, and produce high-quality biochar.
