Buried in waste? Dig into solutions.
Every year, billions of tons of waste are generated, filling landfills, polluting the environment, and contributing to a global crisis. From agricultural byproducts to industrial refuse, these materials are piling up faster than we can handle. The question isn’t if we’ll run out of space—it’s what we’ll do before we get there.
​
​Biochar offers a bold alternative. By transforming waste into valuable resources, it’s not just about solving the waste problem—it’s about creating new opportunities. Cleaner air, enriched soil, and renewable energy are just a few of the benefits biochar brings to the table, making it a critical tool for sustainability and profitability.
What is Biochar?
Biochar is a game-changer in waste management and sustainability. This charred, sterile material is produced by heating biomass—like agricultural residue and industrial byproducts—in a zero-oxygen environment. The result? A high-energy, carbon-rich product with endless applications.
ABTR in Action
So, how does it work? The ABTR process involves heating biomass in a sealed environment at temperatures between 390°F and 608°F. This removes moisture and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are then captured and reused to fuel the system. The result? A lightweight, stable biochar that’s ready to revolutionize agriculture, construction, energy, and more.
Biochar solutions that make a difference.
At Midwest Custom Engineering, we craft ABTR systems engineered for unmatched efficiency and minimal waste, tailored to meet your specific operational demands. From reducing landfill overflow to transforming agricultural practices or tapping into sustainable energy, our systems deliver innovative solutions that drive real impact. Biochar isn’t just a tool for tackling today’s waste—it’s the cornerstone of a future built on sustainability, innovation, and progress.
