Project Overview
Beston supplied and commissioned a skid-mounted biochar pyrolysis system — complete with a modular design and an environmentally compliant exhaust gas purification system. By converting corn straw agricultural waste into high-quality biochar, this project helps the customer validate the feasibility of crop residue carbonization and advance their vision of green production across the entire agricultural value chain.

Skid-Mounted Biochar Machine for a Corn Straw Carbonization Project in China
Customer Background
The client is a Chinese high-tech energy R&D company focused on carbon capture (CCUS) and energy storage. Backed by government funding and partnered with a leading university professor, they launched this pilot project to convert corn straw into biochar, supporting green agriculture and China’s carbon neutrality goals.
Challenges Faced by Client
Unverified Carbonization Feasibility
Needed to validate whether corn straw could be converted into high-quality biochar.
Tight 20-Day Delivery Timeline
Full delivery and commissioning required before a high-profile municipal visit.
Strict Environmental Compliance
Stable performance and compliant emissions essential to the project’s green mission.
Beston Customized Small-Scale Biochar Solution
Beston delivered a tailored skid-mounted biochar system designed to validate straw carbonization feasibility while meeting the client’s tight timeline and sustainability standards.
Skid-Mounted Modular Design:
The all-in-one skid-mounted structure reduced on-site civil engineering by 80%, enabling rapid installation and commissioning within the client’s 20-day deadline.
Adaptive Combustion System:
Engineers flexibly adjusted the combustion configuration on-site to overcome the local shortage of gasification furnaces, ensuring smooth and stable system operation.
Full-Process Carbonization & Eco-Compliant Emissions:
The system fully carbonized corn straw — including leaves and inner pith — while integrated exhaust treatment kept emissions environmentally compliant throughout operation.
Positive Outcomes
“The equipment performance exceeded our expectations, and Beston’s team delivered exactly what we needed within the tight timeline. A truly successful pilot project!” Validated Carbonization Feasibility: Corn straw was fully carbonized — including leaves and inner pith — confirming the viability of straw-to-biochar conversion and laying a solid foundation for future scale-up.
On-Time Delivery for High-Profile Launch: The project was successfully delivered within 20 days, enabling the client to host a successful press conference attended by municipal leaders and industry experts.
Proven Stability & Eco-Compliance: The system ran steadily for over 4 hours and 15 minutes during the official demonstration, with intact water-cooling seals and fully compliant emissions — meeting all environmental standards.
