Maximize waste-to-value yields with a single asset. Our 50 TPD Semi-Continuous Hydrothermal Reactor eliminates the single-product bottleneck by offering switchable operation between Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) and Hydrothermal Humification (HTH). Whether the market demands high-energy solid fuels or high-margin agricultural bio-inputs, this single stainless steel system adapts to your feedstock economics in real-time.

One Reactor, Two High-Value Revenue Streams

Solid Hydrochars (Coal-like briquettes) for Industrial heating, green coal, carbon offsets, result of Accelerated dehydration and deep carbonization with higher temperature & pressure parameters, complete fossil fuel replacement with net-zero footprint.

Liquid/Solid Humic Substances (Fulvic & Humic acids) for Agriculture, soil amendments, high-margin fertilizers, result of limited dehydration and enhanced polycondensation at lower temperature & pressure optimized metrics, premium biostimulant driving regenerative agricultural sales.

Top Value Propositions

  • Future-Proof Asset Flexibility: Never get locked into a single market crash. If energy prices dip, shift controls to HTH mode to capture premium agricultural margins. If fertilizer demand fluctuates seasonally, swing back to HTC for base-load industrial fuel production.

  • Feedstock Agnostic: Process wet municipal sludge, agricultural residues, food waste, or green waste without expensive, energy-intensive pre-drying phases. Water is the process medium—not an enemy to be evaporated away.

  • Self-Sustaining Thermal Loop: The integration features built-in hydrochar briquette burners that recycle process heat back into the reactor's pre-heating and jacket heating system, drastically slashing external utility costs.

Every year, millions of tons of wet biomass waste cost companies fortune in hauling and disposal fees. Traditional methods require expensive drying or years of composting. Our dual-mode Hydrothermal Reactor changes the calculus entirely.

By using high-pressure, semi-continuous thermal tuning, this single machine transforms wet waste into high-grade green hydro-coal (via HTC) or premium bio-fertilizers (via HTH) in hours rather than months. It gives you the power to pivot your production output based on the day’s most profitable market rates. Don't just dispose of waste—arbitrage it. This technology is developed at www.biocomp.id.
