Biochar Pyrolysis Equipment

The City of Cincinnati’s Parks Department seeks a turnkey biochar pyrolysis system to convert heterogeneous wood‑chip waste into biochar, with optional heat‑recovery or electricity generation. The solution must include pre‑processing equipment (shredders, conveyors, storage), a continuous‑operation pyrolysis unit capable of processing 30–45 cu yds (≈ 8 t) per day, post‑processing handling, emissions controls, remote monitoring, and a comprehensive installation, training, and warranty package. The contract will be awarded to the most advantageous offer based on technical capability, scope compliance, cost, and small‑business participation. • Equipment must run ≥ 300 days/yr at 350 °C–1 000 °C and handle wood‑derived gases after start‑up. • Required performance: ~1 metric ton of biochar per 24 h, hopper capacity for 40‑60 h of feedstock, shredder capacity ≥ 8 cu yds/hr. • Vendor must be a registered Cincinnati vendor, provide a 10 % bid bond and 100 % performance bond, and submit all required attachments via the Bonfire portal.
