Industrial waste can be a disposal challenge—but it can also contain useful energy. A TORBED industrial waste combustor offers a way to recover that energy through controlled thermal processing.
In the TORBED processor, high-velocity gas flows through a bed of particles, creating vigorous movement and excellent contact between the gas and the material being processed. This provides high rates of heat and mass transfer and promotes thorough mixing.
These characteristics offer responsive temperature control and consistent processing, which can be particularly valuable when handling waste streams whose properties vary.
Depending on the material and plant design, the heat released during combustion can be recovered for use elsewhere in the process.
Every waste stream is different. Its composition, moisture content and combustion characteristics must be assessed to establish the right process conditions and the emissions controls required.
