Advanced Technology 

Continuous Microwave-Assisted Pyrolysis (MAP)

• Feedstock-Specific Engineering:

Engineered to handle the high moisture and nitrogen content of poultry manure. Systems are optimized to prevent pre-processing clogging and ensure uniform thermal distribution

• Contaminant Control:

Integrated filtration systems remove particulate matter and non-combustible impurities, ensuring the final biochar meets strict purity standards.⚑ Target — Purity standards subject to third-party certification 

• Emissions Management:

Equipped with advanced gas scrubbing and oxidation stages to ensure all process off-gases meet or exceed local environmental air quality regulations.⚑ Design Target — Compliance subject to regulatory inspection post-commissioning 

• Heavy Metal Risk Management:

Rigorous source-testing and temperature-controlled pyrolysis minimize heavy metal bioavailability, prioritizing agricultural soil safety

• PAH Monitoring:

Continuous temperature and residence-time monitoring ensures polycyclic  aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) levels are kept well below EBC-Agro thresholds.⚑ Target — PAH compliance subject to accredited lab testing 

• Nitrogen / Inert Atmosphere Operation:

Process operates within a strictly controlled nitrogen-inert atmosphere, preventing biomass combustion and maximizing carbon sequestration efficiency

• Optional Blending Strategy for Quality Optimization:

Flexible intake systems allow for calculated blending of auxiliary biomass (e.g., crop residues) to adjust C:N ratios and enhance specific soil-enrichment properties

• Process Flow Diagram:

A visual representation of the Continuous Microwave-Assisted Pyrolysis (MAP) cycle — from feedstock intake and drying to thermal conversion, gas capture, and final biochar output

• Feedstock Preparation:

Raw poultry manure/biogas slurry undergoes a mechanical dewatering and drying stage to reach optimal moisture content (<15%) prior to thermal processing, ensuring energy efficiency and process stability

• Inert Atmosphere / Nitrogen Note:

The pyrolysis chamber operates under a controlled nitrogen-inert environment. This prevents oxidation/combustion of the feedstock, ensuring maximum carbon retention and a stable, high-quality biochar matrix

• Emissions Control:

Syngas by-products are captured and routed through a scrubbing system to neutralize particulates and volatile compounds before atmospheric release, in line with target environmental compliance standards

• Quality Testing:

Each production batch is scheduled for internal lab analysis (pH, Fixed Carbon %, Ash Content) prior to external certification submission, ensuring consistency across output batches

• Limits of Current Validation:

“Current specifications are based on engineering design and laboratory-scale trials. Full-scale industrial validation and third-party certification are scheduled for Phase 1 commissioning.”

• “Target” vs. “Verified” Distinction:

Target: Metrics reflecting engineering design goals and R&D benchmarks (e.g., 10t/day capacity, >75% Fixed Carbon).

Verified: Metrics confirmed via accredited third-party lab results or certification bodies (e.g., Puro.earth, EBC-Agro).
