Hi Allan,
Attached are a few photos of a 1.5T/8hr charcoal+vinegar reactor we
have here in China. The yield is typically around 20-25% charcoal
depending on how much air is introduced through out the reaction. This
is a typical yield and run time for pyrolysis, gasification is a
faster cleaner way to make charcoal provided your feedstock is
suitable and the moisture content is below 20%. To take a look at
charcoal production on a small scale check out
