Industrial wate covers a vast spectrum of by-products, emissions, leftovers, surpluses and residual materials. The TORBED processor has applications in treating many of these. Is combustion always the solution? For burning hydrocarbons out of spent catalysts or generating power and amorphous silica from rice husk, ...

The first large-scale TORBED dryer system was installed in 2004 and has run successfully ever since. Drying is typically a low temperature process. It can be a first stage in preparing biomass for transportation or for further processing. TORBED dryers have: a much smaller footprint ...

The TORBED reactor and the Industrial rotary drum dryer are both gas–solid contacting devices used to remove moisture from particulate materials, but they operate on very different principles, which affects both their physical size and their sustainability profile. A rotary drum dryer consists of a ...

The energy transition demands more than renewable generation. For industry, it requires smarter ways to handle the difficult fuels and waste streams that conventional technology has always struggled with — materials too variable, too low-grade, or too awkward to process cleanly and efficiently. That’s a ...

TORBED reactors and rotary kilns are both used for calcining, but they achieve thermal treatment in different ways. A rotary kiln is a slowly rotating, inclined cylinder in which material is heated over an extended residence time. This makes it suitable for large throughputs, variable ...

Spent Pot Lining (SPL) — a by-product of aluminium smelting — represents one of the industry’s more stubborn environmental challenges. Rich in refractory, carbon, fluxes, and cyanide, the material is classified as toxic waste and demands careful handling and disposal. The story of Torftech’s solution ...
