Testing Services
Feedstock Testing
If you have feedstock for testing, we have the equipment to help. We can run your feedstock through our biochar machines to show you how it works. We'll share pictures of the process as we help you obtain throughput and testing data for your specific feedstock and the biochar it generates, using our patented equipment and technology.
Pricing: This service starts at $2,000
Requirements: Approximately 25 gal of material in chip form, or 50 lbs in pieces.
Deliverables
-
Large sample bag of biochar produced
-
Lab analysis of feedstock including chemical composition and heating value (btu/lb)
-
Lab analysis of biochar including chemical composition
-
Video of the machine running the feedstock
-
Test report, including:
-
Performance of the machine with the feedstock
-
Quantity of biochar produced per hour
-
Feedstock consumed per hour
-
Special recommendations or considerations for running the machine with the feedstock

Emissions Testing
We offer emissions testing services while your material is processing. We use a Testo 350 for our emissions testing.
Our standard testing equipment allows us to measure:
-
CO (Carbon Monoxide)
-
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
-
CH4 (Methane)
Pricing: This service starts at $1,000
Additional testing may be available upon request, please reach out to tell us more about your project and emissions testing needs.
Deliverables
-
The testing report is focused on carbon monoxide and methane emissions. The data will also include oxygen and carbon dioxide measurements.
-
Nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide data may be available for an additional fee, depending on the project.
-
-
Report will include:
-
Graphs of the recorded data over the course of the run
-
Average hourly emissions during steady state operation
-
Observations regarding how to adjust the machine settings/operation to minimize emissions
