We work with strategic partners to deliver complete pyrolysis solutions, through feedstock preparation, drying, scrubbing, biochar management and energy production.
The equipment described here is manufactured by our partner, Woodtek Engineering.
Key Features
Our pyrolysis plants transform waste biomass into valuable biochar which acts as a carbon sink - eliminating environmental harm and generating income.

Bespoke specification with proven cost-effective technology
Fully Automated
IoT for maximum performance with minimal supervision
High-tech emissions control
Scrubbers and emissions monitoring to ensure compliance
Multi-feedstock capability
Different biomasses can be handled
Control your output
Adjust parameters to control the carbon credits and energy you generate
Small footprint
Unique vertical design with a footprint of only
20 x 20 m
Why the C1000?
The C-1000 from Woodtek is the latest iteration of a design which has been successfully operating for over 5 years.
It has a unique vertical design, delivering many advantages over other approaches:
- Smaller footprint so it can can operate in more sites
- Easy maintenance reducing cost and interruption
- Tolerance of impurities such as stones or metal, meaning less downtime and repairs
- In-line dryer so high moisture feedstocks can be used with a minimum of energy
- Integrated scrubber resulting in minimal emissions
- High energy production due to minimal heat loss
Proven technology
The C-1000 from Woodtek is a proven and highly reliable pyrolysis reactor manufactured in the UK. As the central component to the pyrolysis plant, the rest is sized around the number of C-1000 units deployed to match the required capacity.
Add-ons we offer
These key modules are needed in most plants.
We design and optimise the system to minimise labour requirements and OPEX by ensuring a feeder sized appropriately for the material, site and operational plan. Options include top loaders, hoppers and telehandler/loaders.
Drying the feedstock is crucial to bring its moisture content to levels suitable for pyrolysis. The best option will depend on the feedstock, but in all cases the energy required will come from the pyrolysis reactor.
Depending on emission limits, a scrubber maybe essential to obtain a permit, even if it isn’t we recommend a scrubber to reduce particulate emissions. We supply a standard scrubber which can be adapted to capture the specific gases relevant to your feedstock as well as particulates.
Add-ons we recommend
With the help of our strategic partners, we can guide you with the following add-ons to maximise the performance of your plant.
We have the capability to incorporate feedstock preparation for your materials seamlessly into the processing line design, such as shredders, grinders, sieves and hammer mills as the feedstock requires.
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) machines are used to turn heat into electricity. The exact specification required will derive from the amount of excess energy generated in the pyrolysis process.
The biochar produced can be sold in bulk, but can also be bagged onsite in precise quantities. We can supply the equipment you need, including conveyers and bulk bag loading augers.
Design, installation and support
All our plants are installed and commissioned by qualified engineers, experienced with the equipment and the design of your site.
Commissioning ensures that the plant is working to all aspects of the pre-agreed specification and moves into production.
And once operational, our teams are available to support yours, conduct pre-planned maintenance and support you in every aspect of plant optimisation.
