Pilot-scale rotary unit for biochar production through controlled thermochemical treatment (carbonization/pyrolysis) of biomass under oxygen-limited conditions. Nominal load volume: 400 L. Typical production rate: 12-24 L/h. Operating temperature: below 700 °C. Operating pressure: 1-4 bar. Typical operating time: 0.5-1 h. Recommended biomass particle size: below 5 cm. Recommended inlet moisture: below 15%. The unit allows controlled variation of temperature, pressure, residence time and feed rate to assess process yield, optimize operating conditions and produce representative biochar batches from different feedstocks.
