PYROCAL’S CONTINUOUS CARBONISATION TECHNOLOGY

At the core of Pyrocal’s offering is our proprietary Continuous Carbonisation Technology (CCT), a system designed to convert organic waste into stable carbon (biochar), recover energy, and reduce harmful emissions. It’s not just a process. It’s a proven solution to some of the biggest environmental and operational challenges industries face today.

In Simple Terms

How It Works

Our systems operate using a controlled carbonisation process. Biomass or biosolids are continuously metered into a multi-level carbonisation hearth, where they are dried, heated, and transformed into biochar. The rising gases from the process are captured and combusted in a high-temperature thermal oxidiser, destroying volatile compounds and generating usable heat, all while maintaining negative pressure and strict emissions control.

What Makes It Different

While many systems rely on traditional pyrolysis, Pyrocal’s carbonisation approach offers faster processing, higher energy recovery, and greater flexibility with feedstocks. With precise temperature control and a fully autothermal process post-startup, our technology is designed for continuous, scalable operation.

High-throughput, continuous operation

Feedstock flexibility: biomass, biosolids, timber waste

Proven destruction of contaminants like PFAS (90% +) and microplastics (80%)

Class-leading heat recovery and emissions control

Scalable to integrate with drying and upstream equipment

The Outcome

A single system transforms organic waste into value, producing certified biochar, generating carbon credits, and dramatically reducing landfill volumes and emissions. Whether you’re managing agricultural byproducts or urban biosolids, Pyrocal’s technology is ready to deliver.
