He has made significant contributions to the field of biocarbon technology, particularly with his patented invention that focuses on enhancing the grindability of biocarbon pellets. His work is pivotal in advancing sustainable energy solutions.
Latest Patents
Forrest S. Graham holds a patent for biocarbon pellets with an adjustable grindability index. This invention provides a biocarbon pellet comprising 35 wt % to 99 wt % of a biogenic reagent, which contains at least 60 wt % carbon on a dry basis. The pellets can have a moisture content of 0 wt % to 35 wt % and include 1 wt % to 30 wt % of a binder. The unique feature of this invention is the adjustable Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI), which ranges from about 30 to about 120. This adjustability is achieved by controlling process conditions and the type of binder used, which can be either organic or inorganic. The carbon used in these pellets is renewable, as determined by the C/C isotopic ratio. The applications of these biocarbon pellets are extensive, including use in pulverized coal boilers, furnaces for metal production, and gasifiers for generating reducing gas.
