Why use a TORBED processor as opposed to Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion Technology?

We are often asked why one might use a TORBED processor as opposed to Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion Technology.

Here are some reasons:

  • Compact design and smaller footprint for space-constrained applications.
  • Lower capital and operating costs due to its simpler design.
  • Better heat transfer efficiency in smaller systems.
  • Simpler design and easier maintenance, reducing downtime.
  • More fuel flexibility, particularly with lower-quality or waste fuels.
  • Lower emissions, especially in small-scale applications.
  • Faster startup and shutdown times.
  • Fewer external air/fuel handling systems, simplifying integration.
  • Better suited for small-scale industrial applications with flexible heating needs.
  • Less complex fuel preparation compared to a Circulating Fluidized Bed.
