EcoChar

Mavitec Environmental offers an energy-based environmental solution called gasification: a complete solution to transfer multiple organic/manure streams into green energy and EcoChar. Gasification offers a lot of advantages such as volume reduction up to 85%, renewable energy, reduction of CO2 and EcoChar, a valuable by-product of the gasification process.

EcoChar still contains the mineral ash and fixed carbon which offers great environmental advantages and economic value.

EcoChar can hold more than its own weight of water. It is valuable for improving stability in soil as it is retained in the soil over many hundreds of years, unlike fertilizers which typically require annual application. Based on the characteristics of the fuel being gasified, EcoChar is available in variable qualities and quantities.
