Industrial biocarbon · Fairmont, West Virginia
Carbon, engineered.
Biocarbon that can replace fossil carbon, built to your spec. Prime 6 makes high-purity biocarbon from hardwood residue in a patented closed-chamber process, at its own plant in Fairmont, West Virginia.
What does Prime 6 biocarbon test at?
| Property | Prime 6 value |
|---|---|
| Fixed carbon | 88 to 92% |
| Volatile matter | 5 to 10% |
| Ash | 1.5% |
| Moisture | 1 to 3% |
Why does Prime 6 biocarbon hold its spec?
Prime 6 controls density, carbon purity and structure from the feedstock to the finished particle, because the whole process runs in its own plant. Hardwood residue from timber mills is carbonized in closed chambers under three issued U.S. patents and sized on site, from fine powder to granules to hexagonal briquettes.
The result can be specified for injection or charging and behaves the same way lot after lot.
