T1000: A Workhorse of Industrial Food Processing.
We identify our TORBED processors by their internal diameter in millimetres. The T1000 is regularly used in both industrial food processing and in mineral processing. We sold our first T1000 for food applications in 1988. The oldest operational one will celebrate its 30th birthday next year. We are currently preparing a proposal for what, if […]
Carbon Reduction: Gas scrubbing and beyond.
As COP29 progesses against a background of floods in Europe and droughts in Africa, the need to reduce our carbon emissions and the level of carbon in the atmosphere becomes increasingly evident. As a technology company, this in our DNA. The raison d’être of our TORBED technology was to minimise resource use and enhance efficiency […]
CCS: is industrial gas scrubbing with Olivine the key to large scale carbon capture.
A few weeks ago, we published an item setting out details of work done by Newcastle University on dry gas scrubbing as a means of CO2 adsorption (The key starting point in any CCS process) and the particular effectiveness of the TORBED processor in industrial gas scrubbing applications. Some level of CCS is going to […]
Pictured is a TORBED calciner being delivered to site in France.
It is the second calciner we have delivered this year and is the first of four being delivered to this customer. The others are being fabricated and will follow. The TORBED processors’ control and thoroughness of processing make them ideally suited to both Calcining and Flash Calcining. Visit the Case Studies TAB under Technologies/TORBED Processors […]
Carbon Capture And Storage: Gas Scrubbing And Beyond.
We’ve previously written about our smallest ever TORBED reactor. Here it is…….the latest in our family of gas scrubbing devices. Below is an example of full scale implementation for gas scrubbing………one of the largest TORBED processors ever made. A team based at the University of Newcastle has been testing CO2 adsorption and desorption rates using […]
An Industrial Food Processing Application Ahead Of Its Time.
Air frying has recently gained significant attention, often portrayed as a modern innovation. However, Torftech has been pioneering air frying technology since 1988, when we delivered our first TORBED processor to Farmland Snacks GmbH in Germany for industrial food processing. The TORBED processor’s innovative design allowed for efficient air frying long before the technique became […]
Supporting Industrial Decarbonisation Strategies.
Our processors use a wide range of fuel to create the heat required for the process they are undertaking. Some are direct fired, using the material being processed as a source of energy. Others use external sources of energy: electricity, natural gas or even LPG or oil. As the world seeks to understand how to […]
Industrial Gas Scrubbing: Carbon Capture.
Industrial gas scrubbing was one of our earliest applications, with the first dry gas scrubbing pilot plant being installed in 1991 and the first commercial plant in 1996. It encompasses extremes, accounting for the smallest and largest commercial TORBED processors sold. We have designed processors to deal with highly abrasive reagents. We have also designed […]
