The Oaktree is a carbon-negative, zero-waste, zero-emission, multi-factory, scalable platform that uses biomass and waste streams to destroy PFAS, create biochar, granular activated carbon (GAC), energy, ash, sequester CO2 for industrial use, greenhouse farming or algae farming, treat drinking, waste & stormwater. The modular design of the plants allows for a customized configuration, using The Oaktree standard components, keeping costs down. It also entails stable operation and maintenance costs, allowing The Oaktree to provide long-term fixed-cost services to its customers.

The Oaktree is designed to achieve zero waste, depending on the customer product needs as well as the local circumstances. The process utilizes modules that provide activated carbon, biochar, renewable electricity, and renewable thermal and dispose of PFAS-contaminated materials in an integrated balanced system to maximize efficiency and minimize operating costs. .

The Oaktree is a scalable platform consisting of standardized components that can easily be expanded to meet the growing demand for PFAS elimination and destruction. This makes it a viable solution for small to large-scale water and sewage treatment projects.

The quality of steel produced using biochar can potentially be improved in several ways:

**1. Enhanced Slag Properties:**

*   Biochar's porous structure and high reactivity can improve slag foaming, leading to better heat transfer and increased efficiency in the steelmaking process. 
*   It can also help to reduce the need for other chemical additives, leading to a cleaner and more environmentally friendly process.

**2. Improved Desulfurization:**

*   Biochar's high surface area and adsorption properties can enhance the removal of sulfur from molten iron, leading to higher-quality steel with improved mechanical properties.

**3. Reduced Refractory Degradation:**

*   Biochar's ability to absorb heat and protect against thermal shock can reduce the degradation of refractory materials in the furnace, leading to longer furnace life and lower maintenance costs.

**4. Potential for New Steel Alloys:**

*   Biochar can introduce unique elements and compounds into the steelmaking process, potentially leading to the development of new steel alloys with enhanced properties, such as increased strength, corrosion resistance, or electrical conductivity.
