Operation Stages of Pyrolysis Machine for Biochar
01 Feeding Stage
The biomass size of the feed is no larger than 20mm, the moisture content is no higher than 15%, and it has good fluidity. This avoids feed blockage caused by material sticking or agglomeration. You can ensure that the waste meets the feed conditions through drying, crushing and screening systems. Beston Group provides the corresponding equipment.
02 Pyrolysis of Biochar Stage
- Preheating: The burner starts to preheat the biochar pyrolysis reactor, which is driven to rotate by drive device. The preheating stage of the main furnace ensures that the material can quickly enter the pyrolysis reaction.
- Further Drying: The material first enters the inner barrel, where it is initially dried to remove the internal moisture in the material. Excessive moisture content will cause energy loss and affect the carbonization effect.
- Deep Carbonization: After drying, the material enters the outer barrel through the guide plate and enters the deep carbonization stage. At this time, the temperature and oxygen-deficient conditions contribute to the thermal decomposition of the biomass. Finally, biochar is formed.
03 Combustible Gas Reuse Stage
- Gas Generation: Inside biochar reactor, the organic components in the material will decompose and produce combustible gases (such as carbon monoxide, methane, etc.). These gases enter the dust removal device to remove solid particles and impurities.
- Fuel Recovery: The combustible gas after dust removal enters the combustion system through the pipeline. It serves as fuel to further provide the heat energy required in the biochar pyrolysis equipment.
- Excess Gas Treatment: Excess combustible gas enters the exhaust combustion chamber and is directly burned. Or you can use a special device to collect it.
04 Biochar Collection Stage
The biochar is usually discharged from biochar pyrolysis reactor by a screw conveyor. Too high a temperature of the biochar can lead to a reduction in quality or the risk of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, the screw conveyor is water-cooled. In addition, this prevents the biochar from coming into contact with hot flue gases, thus ensuring the purity of the biochar.
05 Gas Treatment Stage
The waste flue gas that no longer participates from pyrolysis of biochar will be cooled and dust-removed. The waste gas undergoes a series of treatments: heat exchanger → bag filter → desulfurization tower → activated carbon dust collector. The treated waste flue gas is discharged through the chimney. This not only meets environmental protection standards, but also reduces the impact on air quality.
Material Changes of Biomass During Biochar Pyrolysis Process
In the pyrolysis equipment for biochar, organic materials in biomass like lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose undergo significant changes as they break down into different volatile compounds and finally form biochar. Generally, biomass rich in lignin, such as coconut shells and wood, produces more biochar during pyrolysis.
Stage I: Volatile Release
Temperature Range: 200℃ ~ 500℃
As the internal water evaporates, biomass undergoes rapid decomposition, releasing a large amount of volatile gases and liquid products.
- Cellulose: When the temperature reaches around 300℃, cellulose begins to decompose. It releases CO2, CO, CH4, and some alcohols products. Most volatile release occurs between 300℃ and 500℃.
- Hemicellulose: Hemicellulose starts to decompose around 200℃, releasing small molecules such as furfural, acetic acid, and CH4. Its volatile release temperature range is also broad, typically between 200℃ and 500℃.
- Lignin: Lignin decomposition is more complex, generally starting at around 300℃. It releases volatile products such as CO2, CH4, phenol, alcohols, and esters. The release of volatiles from lignin can continue up to 700℃.
Stage II: Biochar Formation
Temperature Range: Above 500℃
As the temperature rises, the release of volatiles decreases, biochar production becomes the dominant process in biochar pyrolysis equipment.
- Cellulose: Its decomposition is almost complete. Biochar starts to form. Cellulose has a simple structure. This leads to a lower biochar yield. What’s more, there is little release of volatile compounds.
- Hemicellulose: Hemicellulose continues to decompose. It produces a relatively high amount of biochar. The amorphous structure contributes to the greater biochar yield during pyrolysis. Additionally, this structure makes it easier to break down and form biochar.
- Lignin: Lignin has complex aromatic compounds and ester bonds, which slows its decomposition. As a result, higher temperatures are needed, typically above 500℃. The slower breakdown allows more carbon structures to form. Consequently, the yield of biochar is higher.
Innovative Solutions Through Biochar Pyrolysis Equipment
Solution1: Waste Resource Management
- Large-Scale Reduction: Pyrolysis converts waste into useful biochar and combustible gas. Through large-scale processing, pyrolysis machine for biochar can effectively reduce the volume of waste biomass.
