Industrial catalyst processing is a key application that demonstrates the capabilities of TORBED technology. TORBED systems are used both for regenerating catalysts and in their manufacture. The first TORBED processor used in this field was installed in 1997 and is still operating today. The technology was originally selected for these roles due to its ability to deliver a superior product compared to traditional rotary kilns, that are often used for this type of process. TORBED systems enable precise temperature control and reduced processing times, resulting in less damage to brittle catalyst support structures and better retention of porosity. This despite comparatively high superficial gas velocities.
