Electratherm are just releasing a great new tool for sites considering a Bio-char installation and want to calculate the heat balance. You can take inputs commonly known at the beginning of project design (feed rate, feed type, moisture, target conversion rate) to estimate the waste heat from the process – previously challenging to characterize until biocarbon production equipment is in place.
Builds on first principles to yield mass-balance approach that ties the movement of carbon through the system to the usable heat output.
Intended to help refine the estimate for waste heat at early project stages, improving equipment selection and project estimates to support project bankability, credible carbon claims, and reduce risk.
