The Thermal Technologies Centre – a collaboration between
the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) and Tata Steel – opened for business on
May 31 in Middlesbrough, U.K. Based at Tata Steel’s Teesside Technology Centre,
the new facility provides world-leading expertise, assets and capabilities to
enable thermal-processing businesses to innovate new products and processes. It
brings together the thermal-processing skills of Tata Steel and the technology-innovation
capability of CPI. In addition to laboratory and demonstration-scale assets,
the Thermal Technologies Centre offers services for customers seeking to
investigate, develop and scale up thermal products and processes.
The Thermal Technologies Centre currently offers two demonstration-scale
assets: a multi-mode gasifier and a batch pyrolyzer. These enable the
processing of biomass or other alternative feedstocks, plus end-of-use
materials, to produce energy and low-carbon fuels. These demonstration-scale
assets are supported by laboratory-scale facilities and a comprehensive
analytical capability.
