Thermal drying is a process that uses heat to remove moisture from moist products. Thermal drying systems are typically equipped with storage, heat generation, air movement and distribution equipment, and air pollution control equipment.

Torrefaction is a thermo-chemical process that reduces the moisture content of wood and transforms it into a brittle, char-type material. The thermo-chemical process can reduce the mass of wood by 20-30% resulting in a denser, higher-valued product that can be transported more economically than traditional wood chips.

Gasification is a process that converts carbon-based materials into gases. The process takes place in a gasifier, which is a high-pressure, high-temperature vessel. The gas produced by gasification is also known as synthesis gas, or syngas.

Syngas conditioning is the process of cleaning raw synthesis gas (syngas) to remove contaminants. This process is necessary to meet environmental emission regulations and protect downstream processes.

A process that converts syngas into liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Hydrocarbons are highly combustible and the main energy source of the world. A few of its uses are gasoline, jet fuel, propane, kerosene, and diesel.
