Benefits of Using ACB for Forestry + Land Management

Why use Air Curtain Burners for Forestry and Land Management?

The better question is, why not? Air Curtain Burners benefit everyone. So, naturally, it makes environmental and economic sense. The U.S. government thinks so, too. Air Burners is proud to be a 20+ year supplier of our advanced technology to U.S. agencies.

See the forest for the trees.

The U.S. Forest Service counts on our machines to help manage forests and eliminate wood waste like whole logs, root balls, and slash piles to prevent wildfires. The Forest Service depends on Air Burner’s machines to perform multiple functions in various landscapes, big and small, on and off-grid. That’s why they own numerous machines in a variety of sizes, like the BurnBoss. The trailer-mounted, self-contained, aboveground wood waste eliminator is ideal for managing forests, maneuvering logging roads, mitigating wildfires, clearing land, and cleaning up natural disasters.

The FireBox is another. U.S. government-tested for operational performance, the world’s #1 air curtain burner delivers on all counts: economic efficiency and environmental soundness. Air Burners incorporate a self-contained and highly efficient burn cycle, minimizing the need for the additional secondary fuel that is required for grinding and hauling. The pollution-control technology eliminates forest waste 40x faster than open burning, reduces black smoke by 98%, and leaves behind 2% biochar and ash. This nutrient-rich soil amendment helps replenish forest health and restore natural growth.

Mobility is key. Just ask the Forest Service. They often need to move machines on short notice. Sometimes, to remote, hard-to-reach places. Our machines come fully assembled and require no disassembly. You can take Air Burners machines wherever the job takes you, allowing you to see the trees amid the forest.

Teamwork works.

The U.S. Forest Service sees the importance of re-introducing biochar into American forests. Teaming with Air Burners under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), the CharBoss was developed to be the world’s first mobile biochar production system.

Made in America.

We’re proud of our ongoing relationship with the U.S. Forest Service and equally proud of delivering the same quality, performance, and safety to other government agencies.

U.S. Armed Services

Air Burner’s machines are fighting the good fight against climate change and defending Mother Nature. The U.S. Armed Forces have multiple uses for our machines, from reducing costs for wood waste elimination to eliminating wooden training targets to disposing of wooden boxes, crates, and pallets in war zones. We’re ready, willing, and more than able to help in more ways than managing forests and preventing wildfires.

The U.S. Department of Energy

Los Alamos National Laboratories puts Air Burners machines to good use, mitigating wildfires around the desert labs.

U.S. National Parks

Rocky Mountains, Yosemite, and Yellowstone rely on the FireBox and other Air Machines to manage forests, clear land, and prevent the start and spread of dangerous wildfires.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs

The Bureau recommends our pollution-control air curtain burners to reduce unwanted wood waste on tribal lands. The various uses include demolition operations, building sites, land clearing, and disposal of forest slash.

FEMA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

You’ll find Air Burners machines where and when needed most: disaster cleanup, including waterborne debris elimination from hurricanes and forest recovery.

Department of Homeland Security

Not known for forestry or land management, the Department of Homeland Security has found ways to deploy Air Burners machines in the fight against bioterrorism.

U.S. EPA

The EPA and Air Burners have successfully worked on numerous air quality testing projects for nearly a decade, including a CRADA partnership to measure the capability and potential of the FireBox to reduce particulate matter.

Available in XL, large, or small.

Designed to meet the needs of federal, state, and local agencies, you’ll find an Air Burner at work in almost every state. There’s no better way or more cost-efficient, green-friendly method to eliminate vegetative debris. Urban construction project? No problem. Demolition? We’ll take care of that. Land clearing? Yup. That, too. No matter the project size or the amount of biomass debris that needs to disappear, count on Air Burners to make it go away—for good.

Don’t get burned by climate change. Turn to Air Burners. America’s western states depend on our machines to help manage forests, clear land, and mitigate wildfire disasters. That’s where our innovative technology comes in. Air curtain burners eliminate forest waste material in a controlled burn, which traps and prevents black smoke particulates from escaping and entering the atmosphere. The way FireBox and BurnBoss can manage forests, mitigate wildfires, and help fight climate change will make you and Mother Nature smile.

Globally speaking.

We’re the world’s #1 air curtain burner. Our machines have gone through test after test, more than any other machine on the planet, and we’ve passed. We’re on every continent except Antarctica and work with international air quality agencies worldwide. About 40% of our yearly sales come from outside the United States. Who are we?
