TMS Completes Data Analysis from Initial Commercial-Scale Trials

Targeted Microwave Solutions Inc. (CSE:TMS)(OTCQX:TGTMF) has completed its data analysis from initial commercial-scale drying trials with Nestle-Purina (OTC:NSRGY).
According to the press release:

Select highlights of the testing results include:

• Successfully reduced total moisture (“TM“) content in the clay from 31.40% to 9.51%TM; and
• Zero polluting air emissions were generated during drying.

During three separate test runs in December 2015, TMS processed 75/25 and 50/50 blends of run-of-mine (ROM) montmorillonite clay and air-dried montmorillonite clay (grog) having a total moisture content above 30%TM. The input feed material during testing was designed to simulate commercial conditions, and was sized at 3 inch minus.
The TMS Gen. II system demonstrated the ability to handle clay at 43 tons per hour (“TPH“) at maximum flow capacity. Optimal input energy to drying ratios were observed between 2 – 6 TPH, with the TMS system achieving Nestle-Purina’s drying target of reducing total input moisture from 31.49%TM to 9.51%TM, representing a drying efficiency rate of 1.50 lbs. of water removed per kWh of input energy. This represents an approx. 35% drying efficiency improvement over conventional rotary driers that are the standard in the clay processing and manufacturing industry.
Significantly, the testing also demonstrated that the TMS process could achieve commercially relevant drying targets without generating any polluting air emissions. As increasingly stringent air emissions quotas are adopted in the USA and worldwide, air pollutants generated from conventional thermal drying are resulting in growing compliance costs. The TMS technology could therefore offer significant commercial benefits for a wide array of global industrial operations that rely on fossil-fuel combusting thermal dryers for industrial drying, including, Nestle-Purina.
