Compe::ve edge

Cost compe::ve technology

  • No biomass boiler required for process heat
  • Integrated pre-drying system
  • Perform as a high-efficiency biomass dryer

Incremental technology development Scalable technology

  • Proven mulK-cyclone design
  • From proof-of-concept to demonstra:on plant ð risk management
  • Smallest footprint of the industry : residence :me of

3 seconds vs 30 min for other technology
