CONTINOUS SYSTEMS
The creation of demonstration and pilot installations is a key step in the upscaling process. These solutions enable both the optimisation of the process itself and to validate the technology before the industrialisation.
With over 40 years of expertise, Top Industrie supports technology developers in this strategic phase offering full automatized installations.
Applications
The common aspect of subcritical and supercritical processes is to take advantage from the specific properties of water under these conditions which allow:
- Organic matter degradation: water treatment, ultimate waste treatment, solid organic matter transformation
- Mineral compounds precipitation: metal recovery, clean synthesis of specific oxide based materials
- Gas production.
Equipment and options
A continous hydrothermal, sub-critical or supercritical installation is generally composed by a:
- Feeding system: feedstock pre-treatment and preparation equipment, pumps, …
- Reaction system: high pressure & temperature circuits, heating equipment, reactor, …
- Solid/liquid/gas phases separation system: cooling system, equipment for solid, liquid & gas phase recovery
