This is from the agri-tech website:

ATP's process cost-effectively converts cellulosic biomass, like wood chips and bio-crops, into a substance, which can be used as a clean and renewable coal substitute; as a superior feedstock from which to make stronger, more energy dense and water repellent energy pellets; and as a superior feedstock from which to make bio-fuels, using gasification methods.

It says nothing about having to dry and pelletize the material before torrefaction. Actually, it specifically mentions the pelletizing coming after torrefaction.

This is also from the ATP website:

Unlike some of our competitors, ATP's units:

•Do not require pre-drying of the biomass to reduce moisture to 20% and can essentially accept most biomass feedstock, as is, after chipping and storage.

Why would you need a plant to pelletize a product for a process that does not require drying or pelletizing?

Well gator, seems like the pellet plant is gonna be getting torrefied material to pelletize from someone real soon. That someone is not VEGA or both plants would be completed concurrently.

Why would thunderbolt spend money to build a facility that will sit idle until vgpr gets its act together. The answer is it won't.

Gator, your post contradicts everything written so far concerning the process and protocol.
