License Blackwood's Torrefaction Technology
Are you interested in developing a torrefaction or carbonization plant using our proven industrial scale FlashTor® technology? Blackwood has developed a world class torrefaction technology to produce high quality torrefied biomass and biocarbon from renewable biomass feedstock. We offer a comprehensive FlashTor® technology licensing package which allows our customers to exploit our proprietary and leading technology.
Our scope of supply includes:
- Process Design Package
- Detailed engineering
- Supply of key equipment of the FlashTor® torrefaction or carbonization system, including multi-stage reactor system, lean gas combustor, product cooling and process control
- Installation supervision, working closely together with client’s EPC partner during construction phase
- Commissioning, training and start-up support
- Operational support
- FlashTor® Technology Licensing for using Blackwood’s proprietary torrefaction and carbonization technology
The FlashTor® system can be part of a greenfield black pellet plant or can be added as a module to an existing regular wood pellet plant.
Blackwood is a specialized torrefaction and carbonization technology company. Other plant process areas, such as drying system and compacting system (pelletizing or briquetting) fall outside Blackwood’s scope of supply. However, together with our partners we can offer a turn-key torrefaction or carbonization plant. And since we have built, owned and operated our own torrefaction plants before, our team has valuable operational experience and know-how about other plant areas. These areas include biomass handling and feeding systems, drying systems as well as compacting systems for torrefied biomass and biocarbon.
Blackwood has signed a licensing agreement with South African utility Eskom for the roll-out of torrefaction plants based on Blackwood’s patented FlashTor® technology. See press release.
