Did you know that the method of how you produce biochar can change its properties? ● Produced at a higher temperature and mixed with sewage or manure, it reduces the methane produced. ● If produced at lower temperatures, in sewage/manure it increases the methane produced. ● If activated with steam at the end of production, its surface area and micro pores are increased making it more absorbent. ● Steam activation also reduces the electrostatic repulsion ● 'Charging' the biochar means soaking it with nutrients before use, otherwise it will soak up nutrients like nitrogen from the soil. ● 'Inoculated' biochar has been fed healthy microbes which are great for soil development. ● Activating with potassium hydroxide makes a great surface area and pore size for increased adsorption. ● Higher temperatures lead to higher carbon capture and a more stable carbon structure "What does this have to do with wool?", you might ask. Wool is 50% carbon, the kind that is normally lost as wool biodegrades. By collecting our waste and our customer's waste, we can actually store that carbon and use it in our products. It's a truely circular solution. We can't wait. #growwellwithwool #comingsoon

Facing challenges with manure, litter, organic waste, digestate, sludge and any pathogens, antibiotics, medicinal residues and PFAS in it? Through the innovative process of Mavitec gasification, the input material undergoes a thermal conversion into sustainable heat and carbon, while high-temperature treatment effectively neutralizes harmful organisms, transforming the resulting EcoChar into a versatile material for various applications. ✅ Gasification reduces the volume of the feedstock up to 90% ✅ CO2 emissions are greatly reduced and EcoChar sequesters carbon, so it qualifies for carbon credits ✅ Flexible in feed rate, up to 250 tons daily. ✅ Modular design for any applications. ✅ The Gasifier serves as a source of thermal energy, suitable for use in steam boilers, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems, or as a heat source for external drying processes. ✅ EcoChar can be used – amongst others - as active coal replacement, soil improver, or bedding material in farmhouses. Interested in the solutions, please contact us at: info@mavitec.com or visit our websites for more information: https://lnkd.in/eyzDftvr / www.ecochar.net #Sustainability #WasteToEnergy #InnovativeSolutions #MavitecEnvironmental #EcoChar #Gasification

Addressing the Crisis of Water Contamination with Biochar The recent article in The Guardian sheds light on the alarming infiltration of microplastics, PFAS, and endocrine disruptors into our waterways and, consequently, our bodies. The crisis is escalating, but there’s a practical, scalable solution: biochar. Biochar, a porous material made from biomass, excels at adsorbing these pollutants. By using biochar-filled drainage sleeves in waterways, we can capture harmful compounds before they infiltrate our drinking water. Beyond filtration, biochar’s benefits extend to agriculture: it prevents nutrient runoff, reduces water usage, decreases the need for chemical inputs, and boosts crop yields. This approach directly addresses issues like the toxic algal blooms plaguing Lake Erie and can be scaled to improve water quality across the Ohio drainage basin. What makes biochar particularly compelling is its simplicity and local adaptability. Produced from waste biomass, it supports a circular economy, benefiting both the environment and local communities. The science backs it up: biochar’s potential in water management and agriculture is immense, offering a comprehensive solution to the contamination crisis. This isn’t just a theory—it’s a call to action. We have the tools to make a difference now, improving public health, restoring water quality, and ensuring sustainable agriculture. I’m eager to collaborate with others ready to take this practical, common-sense solution and implement it where it’s needed most. Let’s lead the way in adopting biochar to protect our waterways and our communities. #Biochar #WaterFiltration #Sustainability #PublicHealth #PFAS #CleanWater #Agriculture #OhioEPA #LakeErie #ToxicAlgalBlooms #EnvironmentalInnovation

I like the general concept better than the approach presented. There's no reason we should be altering natural waterways more... Why focus on removing pollution from stream water when we could be removing the pollution sources? Small streams should not be acceptable discharge points for pretty much anything when constructing conduits to at least convey them to larger waterways further downstream is more feasible than ever. You could even use materials like lay flat hose to minimize costs and possibly generate hydro electric... That type of system could also pair well with any number of en route treatment measures like biochar filters.

Today, on World Water Day, we're reminded of the critical importance of conserving our most precious resource: water. In industries worldwide, the need for innovative solutions to reduce water usage is more urgent than ever. One remarkable solution is the adoption of Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers (ACHEs) in ethanol production plants. ACHEs represent a significant leap forward in sustainable industrial practices, offering a way to cool processes without the extensive use of water that traditional cooling methods require. Ethanol production, vital for both fuel and various industrial applications, traditionally demands substantial water resources. By integrating ACHEs, ethanol plants can drastically reduce their water footprint, contributing to conservation efforts and setting a new standard for environmental stewardship in the industry. This World Water Day let's pledge to prioritize water-saving technologies like ACHEs. Together, we can protect our water resources for future generations. #WorldWaterDay #Sustainability #Innovation #WaterConservation #EthanolIndustry #Distillery #Biofuel

Biochar addition to compost can significantly mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, with studies showing a 26% reduction in N2O emissions and a notable decrease in CH4 emissions. Researchers at the University of Merced, California, are exploring the potential of biochar to reduce state-wide CH4 emissions from dairy manure by an impressive 2.75 Mt CO2e annually. This innovative approach also targets ammonia (NH3) gas losses, cutting them by 50-64%, thereby mitigating nuisance odors and major nitrogen loss. Incorporating up to 10% biochar by dry weight into manure or other organic materials during composting offers multiple benefits. It enhances nutrient retention, reduces emissions of NH3, N2O, and CH4, and lowers the bioavailability of heavy metals like cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn). Furthermore, biochar improves water management, aeration, and odor control. It serves as a habitat for microorganisms, which accelerates and improves the composting process by increasing microbial activity and temperatures, leading to faster pathogen reduction. Biochar not only enhances the composting process but also offers practical and economic advantages. It reduces labor for turning compost piles and improves conditions for microbial growth, which is crucial for effective composting. Enhanced moisture, aeration, and nutrient availability promote microbial proliferation, speeding up composting and reducing the space and time required for organic materials to decompose. This efficiency can have significant economic benefits, particularly for operations dealing with large volumes of organic waste. #removal #biochar #cdr #environment #climatechange #climateaction #ghgmitigation #wastemanagement #carbonmarket #carbonremoval Neufin
