1. Electrothermal fluidized bed technology (EFB Technology): A unique process of resistive heating and processing of raw materials in a controlled gas atmosphere, which was developed by TMEC engineers specifically to meet the needs of high-temperature, energy-intensive industries of high productivity with the possibility of adaptation, scaling up and application in variety of industries. Among them, thermal purification of graphite materials, graphitization of carbon, production of anode material for Li-ion batteries, reforming of hydrocarbons, synthesis of carburizers and carbides, catalytic reactions in a gas phase.
A distinctive feature of the EFB technology is the possibility to power the process from renewable energy sources, that allows TMES to solve a series of up-to-date tasks related to the world’s transition to a „green” economy with low environmental impact and to offer customers modern safe and environmentally friendly solutions.
2. Engineering of laboratory and industrial reactors: The specialization of TMEC is mainly focused on the creation of fundamentally new non-standard thermal units that meet customer’s requirements and allows implementation of innovative technological solutions that have no analogues in the world.
We ensure a strong and consistent execution of all technological stages of design development: specification of technical requirements for a reactor, creation of a conceptual design, prototype studying, detailed engineering, fabrication and acceptance tests, up-scaling if needed.
The quality of our services is ensured by up-to-date software, application use of high-quality components and equipment in accordance with EU and US safety standards and requirements, as well as cooperation with leading EU subcontractors.
3. Laboratory studies: TMEC offers a wide range of experimental studies on the processing and synthesis of materials.
The park of our laboratory equipment includes conventional thermal furnaces, fluidized bed reactors, EFB units and furnaces for thermal refining of carbon materials.
The range of the services offered in this segment includes the ability to study the electrical conductivity of fluidized systems, microscopy, XRF and X-ray structural analysis. In accordance with the tasks and needs of our customers, TMEC has the ability to adapt its existing equipment for each particular case, including the creation and research of fundamentally new prototypes.
4. Mathematical modeling of reactors and technological processes: The expertise and experience of TMEC engineers allow us to expand significantly the range of services offered to our clients to theoretical studies of heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics, electrothermal processing and chemical transformations. For this purpose, TMEC uses standard applications focused on modeling common physical processes as well as develops its own mathematical models with built-in optimization algorithms to search for effective design or operating solutions.
A comprehensive approach for resolving these tasks, as a rule, involves validation of our models in accordance with the KPIs of real apparatuses, units and laboratory equipment. This approach provides reliable prediction of behavior by complex industrial systems, ensures their optimization and allows to achieve the best results in engineering.
