Torrefaction - ACTOF

Earth Care Products, Inc. provides Engineered Biomass Solid Fuels (EBSF) plant.

An EBSF plant is analogous to a refinery as it produces multiple biomass-derived fuel types, meeting the specifications of the end user while optimizing process efficiency.

An exisitng wood pellet plant can be converted into an EBSF plant by integrating Torrefaction.

We conducted the nation's first and largest test burn of torrefied wood in a coal-fired power plant. ECPI's torrefied wood fuel is "ACTOF." Torrefied wood is the answer to the need for a reliable alternate renewable fuel.

ACTOF = Ablazing Clean Torrefied Organic Fuel

Torrefaction is a thermochemical treatment of wood between 390°F and 570°F in a low-oxygen environment for a predetermined time interval whereby the cell structure of biomass is modified by volatilization of light volatiles resulting in energy densification, hydrophobicity and friability.
