ATS has developed and patented catalytic oxidation technology to address the biggest problem inhibiting commercial-scale torrefaction----handling of the volatile gases produced in the torrefaction process and effective use of the energy created by combustion of those gases. ATS TorreCat™ Catalytic Oxidation Technology (which can be applied to any type of torrefaction reactor) provides a system to safely and effectively combust those volatile torrefaction gases and, in the process, generate large volumes of essentially inert gas for use throughout the torrefaction system. Use of inert gas is the key to successful torrefaction. ATS TorreCat™ Catalytic Oxidation Technology finally opens the door to commercial-scale torrefaction.

Biomass Secure Power Inc. (BSP) has a number of patents for the processing of biomass into torrefied product (Biocoal). We are about to commence construction of our first plant. Line one will produce 100,000 tonnes of Biocoal per year. Once line one is commissioned we will add four additional lines taking product to 500,000 tonnes, phase three will take production to one million tonnes.

Founded in 1987, IAC is a fully integrated EPC Contractor & OEM of air pollution control (APC) systems, pneumatic conveying systems, bulk storage, rotary dryers, automated controls, and dry sorbent injection systems. IAC is a truly unique EPC Contractor because the company owns and controls all necessary aspects for greenfield turnkey projects including in-house engineering, a fabrication facility, OEM, project management, a wholly owned construction company, and fast-response replacement parts/field services. IAC is a baghouse expert, but our list of capabilities and vast industry experience makes us a single source solution provider for almost any facility. From start to finish – design to service – IAC does it all. For more information, visit www.iac-intl.com.

NextFuel AB is the technology supplier of the world’s leading torrefaction technology. Our raw material flexible technology make it possible to transform any type of crops, agricultural waste and fast growing elephant grass into a clean copy of coal in less than 30 minutes. This new clean fuel has an energy content of 23-28 GJ/t and is possible to use in existing energy infrastructure (e.g like coal plants, steel mills, cement factories) without the need for any expensive upgrades. It is even cheaper than coal in most markets. We offer licensing agreements and make the biomass industry scalable so it can replace large volumes of fossil fuels all around the globe. Licensing agreements is possible. For information visit www.nextfuel.com
