In Oregon, roughly 65,000 tons of hazelnuts are grown and processed each year. Processing involves drying, shelling, and roasting. The objective is to design a pyrolysis unit which produces biochar from the shells. The biochar can be used as a soil amendment for hazelnut growth to promote water and nutrient retention. Clark Farm and Nursery, Cascade Foods has asked us to design a pyrolysis unit that processes 10,000 tons of hazelnut shells per year.
