The quality of the biochar produced in the Adam Retort unit has been uniformly excellent. Soil and plant growth tests were conducted to inform the efficacy of biochar to increase soil moisture and water conserving properties in the face of drought conditions. Project results demonstrated both significant water savings and need for less water ...

I will be building an Adam Retort Kiln for making biochar as soon as the ground warms up. I have at least 100 tons of material currently stockpiled. This is all beetle-killed pine and budworm-killed Douglas fir. On our property there is at least another 2,000 tons of biomass standing dead. The mortality rate among the ponderosa pine is at least ...

Extensive field experiments have been carried out in Lampung, South Sumatra, where the positive effects of biochar over several planting seasons have been documented. Two different types of biochars (made from cacao shell and rice husk using an Adam retort kiln) have been tested to grow three different crops (upland rice, low land rice and maize).

Charcoal heating value was about 30.8 MJ/kg. The charcoal produced from Prosopis Juliflora can be used as a fuel for industrial heat production and in domestic cooking in rural areas. The retort system operates in an environmentally friendly way with very low emissions of CO, CO2, hydrocarbons and particulate matter.
