BEK Process Modes and Circuits

The motivation of the design of the BEK is so that this single biochar machine can support various pyrolysis modes for the research or production of biochar with the option to condense bio-oil.

Pyrolysis Modes:

• Indirect Combustion Retort
• Flue Gas Recycling (Sweep Gas Mode)
• By Pass Mode 
• Direct Combustion
• Updraft
• TLUD (Top Lit, Updraft)
• Stratified Downdraft 

Circuit Setup Options: 

• Bio-Oil Condensing Circuit
• Non-Condensing Circuit
