Chaotech is manufacturing a biomass pyrolysis plant for the production of charcoal with maximum yield of char for agricultural productivity improvement and environmental benifit. For a media overview you can view the ABC television Catalyst program presentation at www.abc.net.au/catalyst Agrichar - A solution to global warming?
Our slow carbonization pilot plant is now rated 40 to 60kg charcoal per hour for lightweight feed such as sawdust. The specification particle size limit is 8mm largest dimension. Process simulations have produced a yield of ~40% char on a dry mass basis with ~80% total carbon content in the char. Some of this material has been used for a small pot growth trial while the next stage of equipment is constructed. This trial gave a benifit of 42% more radish biomass from 20g of char in 2.5 litres of (poor) soil. Our next trial will be with good soil ( Blenheim black earth ) and normal nutrient levels. The initial production may be used for crop trials to contribute to the body of research supporting the International Biochar Initiative.
