Our Torbed gasifier presents a challenge to conventional technologies (Fluidized bed, updraft and downdraft gasifiers) in the thermochemical conversion of various carbonaceous feedstocks into a combustible synthesis gas (syngas). Gasification is a part of a range of thermal applications of which the TORBED processor is capable: ranging from drying to torrefaction to combustion.
Operating Principles and Key Characteristics
The thorough mixing in the bed of a TORBED gasifier ensure excellent heat and mass transfer, uniform temperature distribution, and intimate contact between reactants, leading to efficient conversion. The Low pressure drop across a TORBED gasifier system, in contrast to a conventional fluidised bed gasifier system, minimises energy use. Low bed mass gives rise to control and avoids thermal inertia. Compact design saves space and capital expenditure
Advantages and Applications
The Torbed fluidized bed gasifier offers several advantages, over conventional technologies. These include fuel flexibility; A TORBED gasifier, correctly configured, is capable of processing challenging and heterogeneous feedstocks such as biomass, RDF (refuse-derived fuel), and even plastics, with comparatively reduced pre-treatment requirements. Accurate control allows management of difficult constituents such as alkali metals.
