Recently, Beston Group partnered with a Southeast Asian green energy enterprise focusing on solar power and energy storage to help expand its business into Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). As of June 2026, the biochar production equipment construction has been successfully completed, and the project has officially entered the multi-feedstock production commissioning phase.
Client’s Goal: Turning Biomass Waste into Carbon Credits
Green Energy & Waste Reduction
Recognizing the vast biomass abundance in Southeast Asia, the client envisioned a powerful synergy with their existing green energy footprint. Their goal is to eliminate accumulating local agricultural and forestry residues, turning environmental liabilities into a massive, stable source of clean carbon material.
The Path to Profit
The client plans to handle biochar certification and trading on the Puro.earth platform. As a certified technology provider for Puro.earth, Beston Group makes it much easier for projects to meet compliance requirements. This ensures smooth project progress and helps clients successfully generate CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs).
Beston Group’s Action: Customized Solution for High-Moisture Materials
To meet the client’s specific needs, Beston Group provided a customized solution to handle materials with high moisture content. The project details are as follows:
Project Information
- Model: BST-50 biochar production equipment
- Accessories: Advanced drying system
- Raw material: Rubberwood (moisture: 40-45%), palm kernel shells (moisture: 30%)
Project Timeline & Current Status
- Installation start date: March 3, 2026
- Installation completion date: May 14, 2026
- Current Progress: As of June 2026, the mechanical installation of the BST-50 plant is complete, and the project is currently under raw material testing.
On-Site Installation Chronicle: Full-Cycle Technical Delivery
The project commenced on March 3, 2026, and successfully wrapped up all mechanical assembly and static commissioning by May 14. Facing a challenging on-site environment, the Beston technical team demonstrated exceptional dynamic problem-solving capabilities:
Dynamic Engineering Adaptation
- Foundation fix: Used precision steel shims on-site to rapidly level the dryer driving assembly against a severely tilted foundation.
- Layout changing: Repositioned the dual-cyclone dust collectors and rerouted flue gas piping to overcome limited workshop overhead clearance.
Custom Modification & Precision Masonry
- Modified the parts: Leveraged an on-site long-stud and nut configuration to quickly resolve a third-party conveyor incompatibility.
- Build the furnace: Overcame specialized brick size constraints by providing hands-on guidance to construct the combustion chamber vault precisely around the burners.
Electrical Optimization & Safety Assurance
- Thermal isolation: Rerouted cable networks, moving heat-tracing and pilot control enclosures safely away from high-temperature radiant zones.
- Add safety measures: Eliminated a conveyor motor electrical leakage hazard and deployed the spark detection and water-spray systems to secure continuous production.
Current Progress: Multi-Feedstock Commissioning Process
The project has successfully concluded three phases of rubberwood testing, proving the system is fully ready for commercial continuous operation. The team has now advanced to a 60-ton production run using EFB (Empty Fruit Bunches). We will continue to track this project and bring you the latest operational updates.
