Advancing Technologies for Advancing Industries

Torftech is a Technology Company

Working across industries from minerals to waste to food, we design, provide and license industrial solutions for a huge range of gas-solid contacting processes using our proven, proprietary technology which both challenges and outperforms many conventional technologies used for the same purposes such as fluidized beds and rotary kilns. Our TORBED processors are at the forefront of process intensification technology, designed for maximum efficiency and sustainability, challenging established technologies across a range of applications and industries, their intensity and process control offering superior outcomes. The microwave-equipped TORWAVE processor extends the abilities of our technology, offering “unparalleled process control” and extending the possibilities for all-electric heating and carbon reduction already offered by the TORBED processor. We are proud to offer innovative solutions that can streamline industrial processes, while minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact, promoting carbon reduction, carbon capture and supporting a circular economy.

Examples of a wide range of applications include industrial catalyst processing, thermal mineral processing, thermal biomass processing, industrial gas scrubbing for carbon capture and commercial food processing. Click on the Technology and Processes TABs to explore further what we have done and what is possible.

Wherever we can, we cement our place in the list of circular economy solutions equipment, reusing waste heat, processing waste materials and creating life-cycle resource savings.

We Offer

Efficiency

Expert engineers and designers work with you to deliver optimisation of both processes and the TORBED processor. This leads to energy, space and cost efficiency that are the hallmarks of our technology.

Control

Full automation together with excellent mixing and fast reaction rates combine to give excellent process control, enabling optimisation and giving you ideal products and processes.

Sustainability

Our technology not only enables new processes that are key to a sustainable, low carbon future, but also allows existing processes to be intensified, creating life cycle resource savings. In addition it offers opportunities for electrification of processes.

Intensity

Process intensification underpins all the benefits that the TORBED technology can offer your business. The high rates of heat and mass transfer means that the TORBED technology is ideally situated to advance industrial processing of solids and gases, such as Thermal biomass processing, industrial catalyst processing, thermal mineral processing and industrial gas scrubbing.

From Thermal Mineral Processing to High Volume Industrial Food Processing.

Our attention has been taken recently with thermal mineral processing, with one plant producing a Supplementary Cementitious Material (a cement substitute) from paper sludge in the last stages of commissioning. A second plant, which will calcine waste clay (also to produce a Supplementary Cementitious Material) ...

Thermal mineral processing and beyond.

The new year has brought plenty of activity with it. The attached picture is of a part of the heat exchanger with wrote about recently. This is one of twelve trucks that will take it from its fabrication site in Poland to its final home ...

At the Sharp End of Thermal Mineral Processing.

A few weeks ago, we shared a picture of a TORBED calciner being delivered to site. Here is another part of the same plant: a sixteen tonne twelve metre tower which forms part of the new plant’s heat exchanger being prepared for its journey to ...

The Technology

We can change the way you process

Our processors have capabilities in a range of gas-solid contacting processes from high temperature flash calcination to low temperature drying across a diverse range of industries. Often our processors offer an alternative to less resource-efficient conventional technologies.  Find out about some of the processes for which our technology has been used and see if we could assist you.
