Thermal biomass processing in the world of wood.
We will be show-casing our technology’s thermal biomass processing capabilities at the 50th Ligna, the world’s leading woodworking and wood processing trade fair which will take place in Hanover from 26th to 30th May. We will be exhibiting our technology which offers its customary control and efficiency across the full temperature range of thermal biomass treatment from drying […]
High volume industrial food processing intersperses thermal mineral processing.
Much of our focus recently has been on the minerals sector in calcining both paper sludge and clay. We have recently taken an order for three TORBED dryers to be used for the purpose of drying potato granules. These are a repeat of an order fulfilled by one of our licensees 20 years ago, one […]
Transforming Paper Sludge into Low Carbon Cement.
Torftech, a pioneering force in sustainable technology, is proud to announce the completion and handover of a cutting-edge demonstration plant. This groundbreaking facility is set to change the future of two foundational industries: paper and cement. Located in France, the plant will harness the power of Torftech’s innovative TORBED processors to convert paper sludge into […]
Thermal Biomass Processing.
Our recent concentration has been on mineral-based applications, both drying and calcining. The attached picture shows a Torftech Licensee, Cedrus Sp z o.o. presenting TORBED Dryers at a biomass conference. Their presentations illustrates the broad range of materials for which TORBED dryers offer an effective solution Our thermal biomass processing applications cover a similar broad […]
A Busy Time: From High Volume Industrial Food Processing to Thermal Mineral Processing to Equipment For Circular Economy Solutions.
Our financial year is February. This year we celebrated if by being super busy. Paper Sludge Recycling: we handed over a paper sludge reprocessing plant to its sponsors. A great example of the our technology being used as circular economy solutions equipment, drying and calcining paper sludge to produce heat and a cement substitute. Mineral […]
We Offer Solutions for the Thermal Treatment of Minerals.
Last time we met this heat exchanger tower, it was on its side in a workshop in Poland. At the weekend, it was pictured in northern France, in brilliant sunlight, being lifted into place. Ultimately, it will be one of four towers in this heat exchanger. Once commissioned, they will together form part of a […]
Exporting Globally: From High Volume Industrial Food Processing to Industrial Catalyst Processing and Thermal Mineral Processing.
We recently completed a group of export statistics for the DBT. What stands out is that four out five of all the processors ever created and sold have been sold outside the UK. Our technology is British but has been and is being sold and installed all around the globe, such that 100% of our […]
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) is undergoing assembly and installation. In the meantime and by […]
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 in France for installation and commissioning. We look forward to […]
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 same site in Northern France. This high-temperature, dirty-gas-stream gas-to-gas […]
