Dear Anil,<br>
<br>
It is definitively advance science what you did. We plan to use the
biochar in the tea plantation, fist experimentally, then large
scale.<br>
<br>
Warm regards,<br>

Ron we used the char in the fields and tested its usefulness

for improving the soil and yields is a rage.</div>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
I am following the group and I
find it very interesting. Thank
you to all for your contributions.<br>
<br>
I work in tea in China in a
private initiative project aimed
to increase the sustainability of
the organic tea garden and the
local community. Among other
actions, some money is allocated
every year to finance small
projects. I am looking into
biochar stoves to improve
efficiency use of firewood of the
local households (currently
burning wood and coal), however
what I am more interested in at
this moment is into the
possibilities of using pyrolysis
to supply the energy needed for
tea processing while enjoying
other benefits (i.e., biochar for
the tea garden soil, waste
management by using alternative
feedstock such as pig sludge,
producing vegetable coal,…).<br>
<br>
I am not sure if this is the right
place to raise the question … but
I go on:<br>
<br>
I know there exists pyrolysis
systems to generate heat but the
scale is too large for the needs
in the tea factory. I have
explored with some companies and
the minimum feeding rate of the
module is 250 kg/hr of biomass and
our needs lay somewhere 300-600
kg/day of biomass (12-24 kg/hour).
So my question is, do you know if
pyrolysis modules to produce heat
(and biochar as side product) can
be scaled down to what I need?
And, if yes, do you know of any
company working on this?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much! and sorry if
my question was raised in the
wrong place.<br>
<br>
Warm regards,<br>
<br>
Pablo<br>

Brief description of the area: The
tea factory is located in a remote
mountain area (see some pictures
attached). In the factory the tea
is first heat up to stop enzyme
activity, then is rolled and
finally roasted. Currently the
first heat up and roasting is done
using wood and vegetable coal and
the rolling uses electricity. To
process the tea of one year the
factory uses 50 ton of wood trunks
(big trunks, with some water
content), 5 ton of wood brunches
(as fire starter, dry thinner
wood), 3.5 ton of vegetable coal
and 35 MWh.<br>
