Biochar that stands out from the rest.
Custom biocarbon is where Standard Biocarbon moves beyond “off‑the‑shelf” biochar. It’s the work we do when a soil mix, filtration media, or carbon material needs specific properties, not just a generic carbon input.
Standard Biocarbon approaches custom work like an engineering problem, not a one‑time blend. We start with your system requirements, then adjust feedstock, processing, and post‑treatment so the material you receive is built to behave a certain way in your fields, filters, or products.
New Frontiers, New Materials
New products are being invented everyday. Advances in technology are moving in leaps and bounds. However we live in a realm of finite resources. One of the newest realms of advancement is in utilizing biocarbon to replace traditional synthetic or mined materials.
Standard Biocarbon uses a state-of-the-art continuous feed pyrolysis system. That level of control over feedstock and processing lets us tune particle size, structure, and purity for specific applications.
As new material uses emerge, we can adapt our biocarbon to meet defined performance targets instead of forcing every project to work with a single, generic product.
Specialized Feedstocks
While our standard product is typically made with clean, high quality softwood from the forests of Maine, sometimes that is not what is required for a specialized application. Our technology and proprietary production methods are able to accommodate many other feedstock types that can provide what you need for your new innovations.
Specifications for Technical Use
Oftentimes for more advanced materials applications, small details have large consequences. Properties such as the presence (or absence) of trace metals can, ash content, pour structure and surface area impact your outcomes. Conductivity and bulk density become essential elements in your new materials science. All things that Standard Biocarbon can modulate through feedstock selection and processing parameters. By using feedstocks such as hardwood or nut shells, SBC tailors the biochar characteristics to meet your specifications.
Specialized Sizing
Not only is Standard Biocarbon able to adjust the feedstock and production parameters of your biocarbon, we are also able to size it to spec. Many different applications require a specific range of material sizing, whether for utility or aesthetic purposes. We understand our clients have a wide array of uses and product lines they need to provide for, so we aim to ensure that our products match those requirements.
Common Sized Options
Chip – Larger chip sizes of our material ensures that those applications, such as filtration remediation, do not possess smaller, fine material that cannot clog the system
2-7 mm – Nothing too large, and nothing too small, this size range offers a happy medium for soils and other applications
0-2 mm – For finely tuned product design, this screen size ensures a low profile material with high density packed into a smaller space
Micronized – Highly specialized powdered material made to exact specifications based on your industrial needs
Polymers and Infrastructure
Carbon can be an excellent binding agent and filler for many polymers and building materials. Until now, many sources of carbon have been unsustainable (e.g. coal and mining operations). With the introduction of consistent, high quality biocarbon micronized to your specification you can now introduce locally manufactured carbon that can be consistently produced.
Electrochemistry
Typically graphite and other highly specialized carbon compounds have been sourced through mining carbon. With Standard Biocarbon’s ability to precisely customize biocarbon for use in supercapacitors and battery anodes, that supply chain can now be brought into a local and sustainable realm that does not sacrifice quality.
Customized Applications
Whatever your industry, companies and researchers are finding new and innovative ways to improve product quality in a sustainable way. If you need carbon, biocarbon can provide a solution when customized to fit your needs. Standard Biocarbon is being approached by new industries on a regular basis, discovering new applications for biocarbon.
Ready to talk about Custom Biochar?
Custom projects start with a conversation, not a price sheet. We’ll look at what you’re trying to change—whether it’s soil behavior, water quality, or material performance—and outline what a tailored biocarbon might need to look like.
If you’re exploring a custom biochar or biocarbon grade, reach out with your specs, performance goals, and timeline. Together we can decide whether a modified version of an existing product will work, or whether your project calls for a new material developed from the ground up.
