ECOCHAR
Gasification
Gasification is a thermal process, reacting carbon-based fuels in an oxygen starved environment at typical temperature ranges from 1000 to 1500 degrees F.
The syngas produced in the gasifier is then combusted in a thermal oxidizer converting CO to CO2.
The products of gasification is heat, steam, and/or electricity and biochar. A variety of biomass and other fuels may be used.
Gasifying Organic Waste Into Power and Ecochar
- EARTHCARE offers a Gasification Processing System to produce ECOCHAR. Our Gasifier System processes all types of manures, by-products from animal and food processing plants and all types of vegetation such as wood, switch grass, cord fodder, etc. to produce various grades of Biochar (from wood & vegetation by-products) and ECOCHAR (from manure & food by-products). ECOCHAR is the carbon-rich product obtained when biomass is heated in a closed container, in either an oxygen-starved or oxygen-free environment.
- Gasification produces a material that contains the mineral ash from the feedstock as well as the fixed carbon - which will be in the form of a carbon char. The carbon in this char is transformed into a very absorbent material that has charged particles which attract nutrients and moisture.
- A BIO-FILTER in our Gas Exhaust System greatly reduces the emissions to a very low PPM and eliminates the odor of any exhaust from the gases.
- Available on request are Steam Turbine Generator Systems & ORC Hot Water Generator Systems.
- Biomass materials contain carbon in two forms - fixed carbon and volatile matter. The carbon in the volatile matte is reacted in the process, while the fixed carbon is left behind in the ECOCHAR. Due to the high temperatures and retention time, ECOCHAR is free from pathogens, E-coli, growth hormones, and residues from medications.
- The resulting product has a multitude of applications due to the characteristics of the carbon along with the nutrients in the char - possible uses include soil amendment, heavy metal remediation, animal feed supplement, water purification, eliminate odor, reduce ammonia & moisture in poultry houses and many others.
- Purified water and a healthier soil produce healthier plants and healthier nutrition for human consumption. This enhances the health of all human beings as well as all animals and birds.
Gasification Produces Heat, Steam, and/or Electricity from a Variety of Biomass and Other Fuels
Earthcare, LLC. addresses waste disposal and facility energy needs, allowing business owners to concentrate on their core business expertise. Earthcare's gasification systems can produce heat, steam and/or electricity as desired, as well as EcoChar (Earthcare's trademarked biochar product), and are designed to fit the host site's needs. Depending on the application, a portion of the thermal energy may also be used to dry moisture-laden products (waste grain vegetable residue, high-moisture manures, etc.), making them easier and less costly to transport or use for fuel. Our gasifiers are extremely versatile, able to operate using a variety of different fuels, while remaining a carbon negative solution for your business.

Ecochar
Ecochar is a carbon-rich material (similar to charcoal) used as a soil amendment and environmental adsorbent. It is produced by heating carbon-based feedstocks in a low-oxygen (oxygen-starved) environment, creating a stable form of carbon that can remain in soil for very long periods of time.
Why Ecochar Matters
Ecochar is valued because it supports healthier soils, improved nutrient efficiency, better moisture retention, and long-term soil organic carbon. It also provides additional benefits for odor control, animal bedding, and water purification applications.
Key Properties of Ecochar
- Carbon-rich and stable: designed to persist in soil, supporting long-term soil organic carbon.
- Porous and highly absorbent: acts like a sponge for moisture and nutrients.
- Charged surfaces: helps attract and hold nutrients and moisture within the soil profile.
- Contains mineral ash: includes mineral components from the original feedstock.
Ecochar Transforms Waste Into Carbon Sponges
Soil Benefits
- Soil remediation support: helps improve soil structure and overall soil function.
- Moisture retention: can help soils hold water longer, reducing drought stress.
- Nutrient management: helps retain nutrients in the root zone and can reduce nutrient loss.
- Microbial habitat: provides micro-structure that supports beneficial soil biology.
Environmental & Operational Benefits
- Carbon sequestration: widely recognized as a practical tool for long-term carbon storage in soil.
- Odor reduction: can help bind odor-causing compounds in agricultural and waste environments.
- Water purification: can be used as an adsorbent media to help remove contaminants and reduce nutrient loading.
Additional Uses
- Animal bedding / litter: used as an adsorbent to help manage moisture and odors.
- Composting enhancement: can be blended into composting systems to help manage odors and nutrient retention.
- Filtration media: can be applied in water treatment and environmental remediation contexts.
Ecochar (Pathogen-Free / Clean Product)
When produced under controlled conditions, biochar can be a clean, stable product appropriate for a wide range of agricultural and environmental uses. Ecochar is often described as pathogen-free and well-suited for applications where safety and consistency matter.
