BIOCHAR PRODUCTION

From large plant debris (wood chips, branch residues, dead wood) and animal and poultry waste, biochar (plant charcoal) and bonchar (bone charcoal), which are valuable and in demand as organic fertilisers, can be obtained by grinding and then burning in mobile pyrolysis units.

Biochar is a 100% organic fertiliser. Carbon-rich charcoal produced by pyrolysis of wood and green waste in ovens without access to oxygen.

By burning 100 litres of waste, 7-8 kilograms of pure biochar is obtained in a 4-hour shift.

Due to its specific properties, biochar is very important for agricultural use - to improve the quality of soils poor in humus and nutrients. Waste biomass is converted into high quality organic matter to improve soil fertility. The high porosity of biochar together with its further specific properties leads to an increased retention of nutrients and moisture in the soil. Laboratory experience and direct application in agriculture have confirmed significantly increased crop growth with lower water consumption. The application of biochar in soil improves biological processes and long-term soil fertility. In addition to the proven improvement of agricultural and economic parameters, biochar serves as a simple and effective tool for CO2 storage.

BENEFITS

Biochar's main advantages: It is an organic fertilizer capable of storing water and nutrients in the soil for a long period of time, which dramatically increases soil fertility and agricultural productivity.

MAIN PROPERTIES

Restores soil fertility and increases soil porosity. Keeps the soil moist and prevents the leaching of nutrients. It ensures the accumulation of fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and sulphur in its structure in a form accessible to plants. As a result, the use of mineral fertilisers is reduced.

Increases the germination of plants and accelerates their growth.

Helps to raise the pH of the soil, making it less acidic and more alkaline.

It is an adsorbent and can be used in remediation of soils subject to toxic contamination.

Biochar granules have an energy charge that plays an important role in ion exchange.

It prevents the development of some insects, pests, nematodes, wireworms and others.

Variations: Biochar with Mycorrhiza, Biochar with microbial preparations.
