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.
