Just posting this from the home page for those who have not peeked for awhile. :)

Torrefied Biomass Briquette
TBB is a low cost replacement for brown coal resulting in 95% reduction in CO2 emissions. Conversion to TBB is a minimal investment option for power producers needing to reduce their carbon footprint.

We are developing a Torrefied Biomass Briquette plant at Natchitoches Louisiana. The project will be constructed in 3 phases for a combined production rate of 1 million tones per year.

Torrefied Biomass is green wood waste biomass that has been pyrolised in a reactor prior to processing into a Briquette or pellet. The torrefacation process removes the volatile organic compounds found in the virgin biomass that cause the white-wood products to degrade during shipping and storage.

The result is a material that;

has a higher energy density than currently available industrial bio-fuels (typically wood pellets)
does not degrade in shipment and storage
does not require special vessels to bulk ship loads to the client base
does not require a large end user investment to adapt, or modify existing handling and storage systems
requires no modification to modern coal fired boilers
performs similarly to Lignite Coal in Boilers
is processed in the same Storage, Grinding and Handling systems prior to use
produces a waste gas stream that may be processed with minimal modification to the existing Pollution Control Systems



Torrefied Bio-coal is preferred over white-wood pellets because;

the end-user investment requires no special storage and handling facilities
the energy density is about 60% greater than biomass pellets; reducing shipping and handling costs considerably
the material can be carried in un-modified bulk carriers
the cost of grinding at the power plant reduced
torrefied bio-coal is a true substitute for coal
torrefied bio-coal has the lowest carbon footprint of any the available sustainable biomass fuels.
