This patented equipment has been converting agricultural waste streams in South America and Africa into value added products (activated carbon) and energy for the last 15 years. The equipment now has been converted to produce biochar and heat energy in a continuous feed system utilizing the following waste streams: wood chips, coconut shell, grass pellets, palm oil kernels, peach pits, macadamia shell and wood pallets. The equipment can be built for site specific application as on Rainbow's End Butterfly Farm where wood chips are used to produce heat energy for the greenhouses and biochar as a potting medium for the nursery. The Hybrid 250 unit at Rainbow's End Farm supplies 250,000 BTU/hr of heat energy, utilizing 1200 lbs of wood chips, producing 250 lbs of biochar in a 24 hour cycle. These units can be sized according to need, for homestead, nursery, sawmill or other commercial applications and are stationary or portable. Contact us to place an order for active biochar or for more detailed discussion about the feasibility of owning your own "Hybrid".

Heat nurseries, greenhouses, and homesteads while making a value-

added product.
