I want to find out how much it would cost to produce the equipment for the carbonization process. There is a local Church I want to help the not financially sound to members to tsand on their feet. Your contacts would be very much helpful. Thank you
Anyone with a smart phone or tablet can download books on biochar I did they even give you instructions on how to build the kilns and how to do the activating of it
That s not Biochar(as you see the flame is the signe of Oxigen presence) but Ashes. o produce Biochar you need prevent Oxigen get to the materials .only heat
Please ... I need more details in the process ... How and when to stop before the combustion, how control the air ... I want to try it. Could you help me please?
Nathan; Over time I have watched several videos on how to make biochar. The best one I found was a man in Florida made in a TLUD. That short for top lit up draft, using wood chips that come from a tree trimmer. I took off on his idea. This is how I do it. Get a 55 gal. drum with removable lid. Drill half inch holes in the bottom. The more the better. Set the barrel up on bricks, 3 or 4. Extending outward so you can grab ahold of. Fill the barrel with sun dried wood chips. I spread mine out in the sun for a few days. Using a piece of 6 inch duct pipe as a guide draw a circle in the center of the lid. Using a right angle grinder make several cuts across the circle not going past your circle guide. Bend all the ears up slightly past 90 degrees. Fit the duct pipe, at least 2 ft long, over the ears. Screw the pipe to the ears if it wants to fall off. Using straw, or dry leaves or dry grass on top of chips, lite on fire. Place 2 pieces of 1 in. angle iron on top of barrel and place the lid with pipe on angle iron. Stand back and let it burn. After about an hour when you start to see a red glow coming from the holes in the bottom of the barrel the char is done, Now you have to stop the burn. If you have another lid, remove the lid and pipe and cover the top. Using something to push the barrel sideways remove the bricks setting the barrel on the ground. Cutting off air to the char. Let it cool for 24 hours. Remember the barrel is HOT. If you don't have another lid you can use a water hose. Remember the char is burning and the steam can burn you. It takes more water than you would think to cool it off. and stop the burn. Dump the barrel out and hose down again. Now how does it work. Air goes in the bottom supporting the fire at the top. As it burns down the barrel the oxygen is used up and the char won't burn. The gap between the top of barrel and the lid allows air to enter and burn off the gasses that come off the chips. The pipe creates a draft. Wind hinders the air flow. I also found that if the chips have a lot of fines in it the air flow up through the chips is hindered. I'll use half inch hardware to screen out. I know this was long but the chips makes good char that doesn't have to be broken down further. Good luck. And remember you are playing with fire. Also to "charge" the char before adding to garden or growing beds. Hope I helped.
Hi Sir. I came across one of your videos for biochar I want starting my own biochar production I will need your advice please how can I get in touch my email is. Sebastain102@gmail.com thanks
Did I missed the part where the char was charged with good microbes? If you add pure char to soil it would take time to absorb nutrients before it could be of benefit to the crops.
There is no difference between charcoal and biochar. Charcoal used as soil amendment was named biochar at the World Congress of Soil Science in Philadelphia 2006. Further, this type of feedstock makes charcoal with very low quality.
Was auch immer das hier im Film gezeigt werden sollte. Es hat nichts mit der Herstellung von Biokohle zu tun. Im Gegenteil wird hier einfach nur was verbrannt ohne Sinn und Verstand. So sollte man es auf keinen Fall angehen.
Was bringt sie zu diesem Urteil? Diese Methode wurde von Mitarbeitern der Universität Bologna beschreiben (Projekt E2BEBIS). Es gibt auch wissenschaftliche Arbeiten zur Produktion und Anwendung der Biokohle. "Participatory trials of on-farm biochar production and use in Tamale, Ghana" zu finden auf ResearchGate.
@@Orchideenjaeger Biokohle entsteht bei Verkohlung unter Ausschluss von Suaerstoff. Hier aber wird z.B. die Glut selbst umgefüllt. Hier im Video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iUgf1ahCK2w.html um nur ein Beispiel zu zeigen, sieht man wie es richtig geht. Deutlich wird es auch beim Kontiki wo die Funktion optisch sogar besser zu erkennen ist. Für intensivere Ausführungen ist hier nicht der richtige Rahmen. Dazu gibt es genug Informationen im Netz und viel zu sehen hier auf RU-vid.
@@guidofose9806 Das ist ein TLUD Gasifier Erklärung hier ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dM47gtKpGYY.html . Das Umfüllen wurde nur für das Abkühlen ohne Sauerstoff gemacht, um Wasser zum Löschen zu vermeiden. Hat schon alles einen Grund.
crop residues are often burned in the field for no use at all. We also used rice husks in Ghana. If there is a cooking value for the corn cobs they would better be used for cooking instead of fire wood.
This is not how you make Biochar! Most of the wood was burned up. Need a 55 gal barrel, and a 30 gallon barrel. Put the wood in the 30, Lay the 55 on its side. Slide the open end of the thirty, inside the fifty. Set it up. Put wood on the sides of the 30. Then light it. Put the chimney back on the 55. The finished product needs to be inoculated before it is spread , and mixed into the soil.
Thank you for the video. Can you please tell me where I can the step-by-step plans on how to make this system? This will be very helpful to my people back home. thank you in advance.
