HEREFORD PROJECT

Coming 2029

  • Waste is collected on-site (in this case, feedlot manure) and transported to the pyrolysis reactor.

  • The waste is then pyrolyzed in a containerized unit, reducing the solid mass by over 50%. The pyrolysis unit recycles synthetic natural gas produced during processing, resulting in an exothermic reaction that requires no external heat or power for operation.

  • During pyrolysis, the remaining solid waste is transformed into biochar - a highly valuable form of sequestered carbon that can be used in a variety of agricultural and remedial use cases. For our purposes, we primarily use biochar as the catalyst for treating polluted soil & water systems.

  • The biochar is then treated using a proprietary blend of compounds that are tailored for contaminant remediation. These compounds activate the biochar and increase its adsorptive capacity in order to maximize the biochar’s effectiveness for pulling specific contaminants out of a polluted system.

  • After treatment, the biochar is deployed at the project site, where it functions as an extremely potent and cost-effective remediation amendment. Use cases include wastewater treatment plants, retention ponds, and sodium-impacted soils, amongst many others.
