Background:
Biochar properties are highly dependent on the process conditions. There is a need to have a system which can generate the char in different pyrolytic conditions to acquire the desired properties in the final product, i.e., char. There is a need to develop a system for the production of biochar having precise thermal regulation along with a uniform convection mode two side radial heating of biomaterial for uniform, better, and desired quality product:
Technology Details:
The concept of the annular core with two side convection heating of biomass bed was introduced in this system. The annular core cassette to hold the biomass bed is provided in this system which gives the benefits of placing and removing the material easily. Further, different kinds of biomaterial can also be placed in the same run to compare the effect of pyrolytic treatment on biomass. The cassette has perforations to allow the heat through convection. The annular core biochar reactor provides a uniform convection mode two side radial heating of biomaterial for uniform, better, and desired quality product during slow pyrolysis process in this reactor. Two-way radial heating using electrical filaments given in this unit gives a uniform thermal gradient across the biomass bed. The temperature can be controlled precisely as per need
