Our Technology
Advanced thermal conversion for maximum carbon stability.
Our locally designed and manufactured Aether Kilns pyrolysis unit is a modular, containerised system that converts invasive alien plants into high-quality engineered biochar through controlled carbonisation, with continuous IoT-enabled monitoring of process conditions and gas emissions (CO₂, CO, and CH₄) to deliver high carbon retention, low emissions, and the data transparency required for CO₂ Removal Certificates.

Key Capabilities
Modular Engineered Biochar Kiln
Our modular Aether Kilns engineered biochar kiln is designed for efficient, controlled, and low-emission operation. Feedstock is introduced gradually and held for a residence time of approximately three hours to support consistent and continuous pyrolysis.
The system starts up with a state-of-the-art biomass burner and sustains reactor temperatures by recycling syngas as an energy source - improving thermal efficiency while reducing potential emissions. Automated feeding, drying, cooling, and discharge minimise the need for direct handling, while an integrated dust cyclone captures and settles particulate matter, supporting cleaner and safer operation.
AETHER KILNS
Integrated Sensor Network
The Aether Kilns kiln features IoT-Driven Automation and Quality Control with an integrated PLC and IoT monitoring system that tracks every stage of production in real time to optimise efficiency, ensure consistent product quality, and enable predictive maintenance.
PLC & IoT Monitoring
Intelligent Sensors Continuously Monitor key process variables, including:
Feedstock moisture and feed rates.
Pyrolysis chamber and drying temperatures.
Oxygen levels, pipe temperatures, and system pressures.
Exhaust gas flow, methane concentrations, and cooling tower performance.
Built-In Safety Systems protect operators and equipment around the clock:
Continuous inside-container gas detection monitoring for carbon monoxide, methane, and hydrogen sulphide.
Automated smart ventilation and pressure relief systems.
Emergency stop controls accessible from both inside and outside the unit.
Monitoring, Reporting & Carbon Intelligence
Our cloud-based platform transforms operational kiln data into actionable insights for operators, managers, and carbon project developers.
Full traceability ensures high data integrity to support credible CO₂ removal projects.
Real-time Data is captured on feedstock, process conditions, equipment status, and emissions via direct connection to the kiln’s IoT sensor network.
Interactive Dashboards and Automated Alerts optimize efficiency, maintain product quality, minimize downtime, and enable performance benchmarking across multiple sites.
Actionable Intelligence (not just raw sensor readings) transforms operational data into clear insights that drive efficiency, substantiate environmental performance, and support business growth.
Streamlined Carbon Finance and Regulatory Compliance are possible with automated, audit-ready data tracking, including:
Greenhouse gas accounting by converting operational metrics into transparent sustainability records.
Simplified Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) for carbon credit programs.
