Measuring a 55 gallon drum to be used to build the oxygen limited retort. The creation of biochar includes the same basic concepts no matter which design you decide to go with. Very often, retort kilns will include two main components: a chamber for which pyrolysis will take place, as well as a chamber for which combustion will take place.

New Design User-Friendly User-Friendly. The NEW, IMPROVED Ring of Fire Biochar Kiln is 1.8 times larger for making even more biochar! User-Friendly User-Friendly
An efficient, environmental friendly and thus much-noticed low-cost kiln-retort system (called Adam-retort) was developed for carbonization of biomass waste (Adam 2009).
Abstract An efficient approach for the development of a compact integrated wood charcoal retort was designed. The key fundamental requirements to guarantee efficiency and productivity are initially investigated via CFD …
BKI have been investigating and building Portable Kilns since 2011. We are happy to announce that BKI has finally located a bona fide Mobile Pyrolysis Unit that checks all our boxes of what a Mobile Retort should represent in reality. This unit is completely mobile - in contrast with our low-tech RING17, RING20 and BKI…
Excellent open source pyrolysis kiln from Switzerland for biochar production with a very clean burn. Some implements are already available and everything is open source. If you would like to support the further development of this effort, please consider donating to Ithaka Institut. Ithaka Institut writes: While most of the biochar produced during the last 5000 years was produced …
A report on some upgrades to the "Tin Man" biochar retort. In my first post on biochar I outlined A design for a biochar kiln. In the post I expressed delight at how well it had performed.
(adam-retort) The ICPS is a modern, innovative and environmentally friendly system to produce charcoal from bio mass. (low-cost retort kiln) Advantages: 1) High economy and better efficiency approx. 35% to 40% (Instead of about 18% efficiency compared to the traditional systems; calculated from dry weight).
The 55 gal drum is the retort. It is loaded with feedstock and then sealed, except for the vent. The retort is surrounded by a kiln made of cement blocks, to hold in the heat. You build a fire …
through the kiln [12]. 2.3.3. The drum retort Kiln. The drum retort kiln as shown in figure 3 is an improvement of earlier drum based kiln which is using gas recovery concept. The feedstock is directly loaded in the drum by using a tray and a lid is used to cover the pyrolysis chamber tightly. Figure 3. Drum retort Kiln [12].
Your drawings look very similar to what Kobus Venter designed here. His kiln can be used three different ways: as an open flame-cap vessel sort of like a Ring of Fire, with an inner retort surrounded by sacial feedstock as a TLUD, or as you're planning with a rocket combustion core exiting underneath the inner drum.
Do-It-Yourself Low Temperature Biochar Kiln. Most small scale methods of producing biochar, such as the Kon-Tiki kiln, fire pits, traditional heaps, many barrel methods, rocket stoves, gasifiers, etc, can only function at high pyrolysis temperatures, and particularly in the case of the heap method, long process times.Biomass particles are exposed to temperatures of about …
The design of the retort tube with consideration to peripheral speed ensures proper carbon bed turnover enhancing the complete thermal regeneration. ... where it is fed directly into the kiln retort tube. The dewatering screw feeder is a robust unit and mounts directly onto the kiln structure at the charge end. The feeder casing and screw
This strips the remaining tar from the charcoal at this point and completes the carbonisation step. The gas passes up the retort, giving up its heat to the descending charge and picking up and 'rinsing' away the volatiles being given …
The 3-drum Biochar Retort is more clean burning (with the added lid and chimney) and the burn is more controlled, and the user has an option to create either Biochar or conventional charcoal. Click here to view the development of this kiln and how the Design Challenge helped to draw in biochar experts around the world.
* The "adam –retort" can be built by locally available materials and low budget (~500€) per unit. * A convenient and appropriate design and an unique technology facilitates that this …
Research into a low-cost retort–kiln, used to produce charcoal from sustainably managed forests in a more environmentally friendly way (Eco-Charcoal), has been completed and pilot units have...
After the research and conversation I was convinced to get a KonTiki and not the retort for two reasons: The retort is more complicated to handle and needs more parts. The KonTiki can be build for easy quenching and easy emptying. In 2021 then I showed my brother-in-law a design of a KonTiki kiln and he found the project interesting.
The quest for the perfect backyard biochar kiln. Chapter One: What is Biochar? My working definition for biochar is simply charcoal that has been infused with a combination of nutrients, microbes, and moisture. When added as an amendment to garden soil, biochar's porosity helps the soil hold on to nutrients, and moisture so that they are…
In fact, properly fired, the retort does not emit any visible smoke at all. The first six slide show a steel kiln that fires a 55 gallon barrel of wood, in this case birch, which makes excellent charcoal. The inner barrel is loaded, and a small fire built underneath the barrel in the kiln. Gasses from the heated wood are plumbed back into the ...
The design of the retort tube with consideration to peripheral speed ensures proper carbon bed turnover enhancing the complete thermal regeneration. ... The retort tube of the kiln is manufactured from 321 stainless steel. The length of the tube is sufficient to accommodate the heating zone, cooling zone, charge section, drive ...
Self Fuelling. Once the retort is started it reheats itself using the wood's natural gases. Improved productivity. The approximate burn time of 8 to 12 hours is significantly less than ring kiln). Greater range of burning control producing a higher quality charcoal. Better for the environment producing more 'friendly' emissions than a kiln.
The retort is one of the most efficient means of producing good quality charcoal. Wood is placed in a large steel cylinder (or "retort"). This has a tightly closed door, and some means to let tar and gases escape. The cylinder is heated from the outside. No air enters the barrel. When the wood in the cylinder has been heated to the right temperature, a chemical …
adam-retort" a low-cost retort kiln for a more environmentally friendly production of charcoal from biomass. Reduces emissions of up to 75% of methane, which is normally released into the atmosphere by traditional earth mount kiln. Saves about halve of the wood- which is needed to produce the same amount of charcoal with a traditional kiln!
We are currently at the design phase where we need to determine what materials we will use to build the kiln. We need to insulate the kiln as much as possible as we also need to harness the heat energy from the kiln and convert that energy into usable electricity. The kiln will need to operate at temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius.
Their design and construction characteristics provide better conditions than the slope type and the hot-tail kilns. ... Polikor, Classic Horizontal Retort, Continuous Retort, CLM France Kiln, Van Marion Retort (VMR) kiln. The Container Retort is a metallic retort where the wood is placed in a metallic cylinder (container) that, in its turn, is ...
The simplicity of the design of the version 1 retort allowed us to start making charcoal very quickly, but the toll of high heat on the components, the inefficient use of fuel, and the inconsistency of the finished batches left much to be desired.. The two areas of weakness in the first design were the loss of heat and the inclusion of oxygen into the retort.

In order to narrow it down I run a PMI analysis and at the end I had two choices: a retort or a Kontiki. A retort is made of two containers inside each other where the inner one is the pyrolysis chamber. A Kontiki is a v shaped frustum.
If such high values are measured, to modify the design of the retort kiln to further minimize emissions (see Chapter 6.7.1). 8. To carry out one or two experiments of charcoal or biochar production, and emission monitoring on the modified retort kiln (retort kiln with improved design). ... (Pos. "B1" on drawing Fig.15), which is the most ...
