THE SCIENCE BEHIND

Learn how the bioHearth® system transforms waste into energy—efficient, affordable, and built for a sustainable future.

THE BIOHEARTH® DESIGN

Precision gasification with a state-of-the-art design.

Our downdraft gasification system incorporates all the right elements to provide the simple, easy way to convert your waste to energy.

What makes it so efficient?
The key is in the process. We pride ourselves in developing a system where we solve past gasification system hang ups at the source.

The result is a safe, cost- effective solution without unnecessary complexity— ensuring you get the job done with ease and at a reasonable price.

WHAT IS GASIFICATION?

Converting waste into clean energy through thermochemical conversion. Gasification is a proven technology that transforms organic materials into combustible gas.

Unlike incineration, gasification operates in a controlled, oxygen-limited environment at high temperatures (1,400-1,800°F), breaking down complex organic molecules into simple gases.

The resulting producer gas contains hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane—clean-burning compounds that power generators to produce electricity and heat.

Feedstock Preparation (70-200°F)

Organic waste is sized and dried to optimal moisture content for efficient gasification.

Pyrolysis Zone (600-900°F)

Heat breaks down complex organic compounds into simpler molecules, releasing volatiles and creating char.

Combustion Zone (1,400-1,800°F)

Limited oxygen creates high-temperature combustion, providing heat for the gasification reactions.

Reduction Zone (1,200-1,400°F)

Hot char reacts with steam and CO₂ to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide—the main energy components.

Gas Cleaning (200-300°F)

Producer gas is cooled and cleaned to remove particles and tar before being used for energy generation.

Key Benefits: Higher efficiency than combustion, lower emissions than incineration, and the ability to process diverse waste streams while producing valuable byproducts like biochar.

Versatile & Efficient Producer Gas

High-quality producer gas for diverse energy applications. The producer gas generated by bioHearth® systems contains 20-25% hydrogen, 15-20% carbon monoxide, and 2-8% methane.

This clean, consistent gas composition provides 120-150 BTU per cubic foot of energy content, making it ideal for electricity generation, heating, and industrial processes.

Electricity Generation

Efficiently powers gas engines and turbines, providing reliable baseload power for your facility or the grid.

Process Heat

Direct combustion for industrial heating applications, drying processes, and thermal energy requirements up to 2,000°F.

Combined Heat & Power

Simultaneous electricity and heat production achieving overall system efficiencies of 80% or higher.

Renewable Hydrogen Production

Clean hydrogen content makes producer gas suitable for fuel cell systems and hydrogen production.

Gas Component Typical Range (%) Energy Contribution
Hydrogen (H₂) 20-25% High heating value, clean combustion
Carbon Monoxide (CO) 15-20% Primary combustible component
Methane (CH₄) 2-8% High energy density
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) 10-15% Inert, product of gasification
Nitrogen (N₂) 45-55% Inert carrier gas

Combined Heat and Power

Maximize energy efficiency with Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology.

The bioHearth® system not only generates electricity but also captures and repurposes excess heat from the gasification process. This integrated approach ensures that more energy is utilized instead of being wasted, making operations significantly more efficient.

Reduce energy costs

Lower reliance on external power sources by utilizing both heat and electricity from a single system.

Improve operational efficiency

Lower reliance on external power sources by utilizing both heat and electricity from a single system.

Lower carbon footprints

Lower reliance on external power sources by utilizing both heat and electricity from a single system.

By simultaneously producing electricity and useful heat, CHP systems achieve efficiencies of up to 80%, compared to conventional methods that often waste excess thermal energy.

This makes bioHearth® CHP solutions ideal for industrial facilities, agricultural operations, and off-grid applications, making energy production more sustainable and cost-effective.

Biochar

Valuable carbon-rich byproduct with multiple applications. Every bioHearth® system produces high-quality biochar as a byproduct of the gasification process.

This stable carbon material represents approximately 5-10% of the original feedstock weight and can generate additional revenue streams while providing environmental benefits.

Soil Amendment

Improves soil fertility, water retention, and crop yields while sequestering carbon for hundreds of years.

Water Filtration

High surface area and porosity make biochar excellent for water treatment and contaminant removal applications.

Carbon Credits

Verified carbon sequestration through biochar can generate valuable carbon credits in emerging markets.

Industrial Applications

Used in concrete additives, activated carbon production, and as a sustainable alternative to fossil-based materials.
