  • Biochar process system
    Patent number: 11926791
    Abstract: There is disclosed a biochar processor for a continuous pyrolysis processing of organic material into biochar. In an embodiment, the biochar processor has a biochar processor interior space divided into a first combustion chamber and a second combustion chamber. A pyrolysis reactor passageway is disposed in the biochar processor interior space. The pyrolysis reactor tube has a conveyor drive to move the organic material from the first combustion chamber to the second combustion chamber. A vent tube is in communication with a plurality of vents in the first combustion chamber and the second combustion chamber. In an embodiment, a method of making a biochar processor is provided for the continuous pyrolysis of organic material into biochar. In an embodiment, a method of using a biochar processor is provided for continuously producing biochar from the biochar processor. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
