    Biochar Production Biosolids Management

    Benefits of Biochar and Biodrying

    • Up to 90% Less Volume Reduction of Biosolids and Organic Waste
    • 90% Less Trucks and Reduced Landfill Usage
    • Up to 100% Less Energy Consumption
    • Integrates Easily with Existing Wastewater Infrastructure
    • Improved Environmental and Social Impact
    • Low Operational and Maintenance Costs

    The Biochar Production Process

    BioDrying is a rapid heating process comparable to initial composting stages, reducing moisture content and overall weight of biodegradable material. 

    Our modular drying system efficiently removes moisture from biosolids, consuming 50% less energy compared to gas-heated systems like belt dryers. This process supports sustainable biosolids management and biochar production practices.
