Biocarbon for industrial fuel.
Prime 6 biocarbon is a dense, low-ash, low-moisture solid carbon for industrial fuel and feedstock uses. Same material, same lab data, sized for your feed system.
What is Prime 6 biocarbon for fuel users?
Prime 6 biocarbon is a solid fuel and feedstock made from hardwood residue, with 88 to 92% fixed carbon, 1.5% ash and 1 to 3% moisture. Low ash means less residue to handle. Low moisture means less of the heat goes into drying the fuel. The material carries no binders, glues or additives.
Which fuel uses can Prime 6 supply?
| Process | What matters | Prime 6 value |
|---|---|---|
| Gasification feedstock | Fixed carbon, ash, particle size | 88 to 92% fixed carbon, 1.5% ash, sized to spec |
| Co-firing | Moisture, ash, size, volatile matter | 1 to 3% moisture, 1.5% ash, 5 to 10% volatile matter |
| Pyrolysis and reduction feedstock | Purity, no binders, consistent lots | No binders, glues or additives. One plant, one process |

Questions fuel buyers ask
Can Prime 6 biocarbon replace coal?
Prime 6 sends samples and the lab data so your combustion engineers can run the comparison against your own coal spec. Prime 6 does not publish a coal comparison it has not tested.
What particle sizes does Prime 6 supply?
Powder, granules and hexagonal briquettes, produced to the size your feed system specifies.
What volumes can Prime 6 supply?
The Fairmont plant is scaling to more than 250,000 tons of biocarbon a year. Volumes and terms for fuel use are discussed on a call once the material has passed your test.
