Located in Lynnwood, WA. USA, TSI designs and builds equipment for today's highly automated plants in the Engineered Wood and Biomass Industries. TSI offers solutions for Dryer Islands, (Heat Energy, Drying and Emission Control) and Finishing lines. Designed with the customer needs in mind, the systems are customized for the specific applications, whether updating aging equipment, adding to an existing line or creating a new green-field production plant.
At TSI, we push the boundaries of technology without sacrificing reliable performance and ease of startup and operations. Using incremental advances, testing new ideas, and supporting full disclosure and cooperation, we give you the leading edge in a competitive world. The end result is the best technology with the least risk.
TSI provides dedicated Heat Energy Systems for direct connection to the Dryer Systems. Technology includes Burners for Dry Biomass Fines, Burners for SynGas and Natural Gas, as well as Reciprocating Grate Furnaces for wet fuel such as bark. TSI works in close partnership with heat energy specialists Sigma Thermal. Sigma's team of combustion engineers have a long track record in building some of the World's largest furnaces.
TSI Torreactor technology is a system for "roasting" wood chips in a zero oxygen environment. The patented process is an extension of TSI's successful drying program and is designed to be a "bolt-on" addition to existing dryer systems.
Pre-dried chips are fed into a rotating drum via and double, purged airlock. Heat for the drum is generated either by a dedicated burner or is drawn from a larger burner that heats the dryer system. The process gas in the system is circulated in a closed loop and heated via a gas-to-gas heat exchanger. Excess gas (generated by the process) is ducted back to the burner for incineration. This gas has a high fuel value and system becomes auto-thermal when a certain load threshold is reached.
The hot process gas heats the chips to a temperature range between 450°F and 650° (as determined by the system controls) and holds them at that temperature for several minutes. This boils of volatiles in the biomass including the hemi-cellulose leaving a carbon rich fiber that can be further processed into high energy renewable fuel or used as an additive or feedstock for other industrial processes.
