Biomass is a promising alternative for producing green renewable power as well as value added materials. Torftech Inc. Torbed reactor has proven very effective in processing different biomass material. Its effectiveness however is hindered in some cases by challenges in material handing and feeding to the reactor. This limits opportunities for commercialization of processes that could take advantage of the reactor capabilities. The purposes of this proposal is to investigate options to optimize design and operating parameters of the reactor feed treatment and handling system to enable achievement of full process automation using challenging material such as switch grass and rice straw. A successful demonstration of the technology is expected to lead to significant follow-up investments from Torftech and its partners to build full-scale automated units for biomass processing. This technology will be manufactured in Canada and exported to various countries around the globe for processing of wide range of biomass material.

生物质是生产绿色可再生能源和增值材料的一种有前景的替代品。 Torftech Inc. Torbed 反应器已被证明在处理不同的生物质材料方面非常有效。然而，在某些情况下，其有效性会因材料搬运和向反应器进料方面的挑战而受到阻碍。这限制了可以利用反应堆能力的工艺商业化的机会。该提案的目的是研究优化反应器进料处理和处理系统的设计和操作参数的选项，以便使用柳枝稷和稻草等具有挑战性的材料实现全过程自动化。该技术的成功演示预计将导致 Torftech 及其合作伙伴进行大量后续投资，以建造用于生物质加工的全尺寸自动化装置。该技术将在加拿大制造并出口到全球各个国家，用于加工各种生物质材料。
