PacWest Global - Torrefaction

http://www.pacwestglobal.net/solutions_torrefaction_main.html

Natural, non-polluting, coal replacement or additive briquettes. Torrefaction is the process of roasting biomass and briquetting it to create a high energy content, environmentally friendly fuel that can be used in conventional fuel burning systems with no adaptation neccessary.

Torrefied briquettes or pellets can be a direct substitute for coal in coal-fired power plants and can help these power plants meet mandated emissions reductions, while also containing a higher energy content by weight. A torrefied briquette manufacturing plant can be highly profitable if located reasonably near its customer base. This fuel manufacturing technology requires a significant amount of heat and gains a large advantage when coupled to an ecoTECH biomass power plant.

Engineering

PacWest Global can engineer from a total turnkey torrefaction plant or add torrefaction to your already running facility.
