- “The TMC technology is an ideal solution that can help corporations achieve their ESG goals today and get ready for the future. It not only achieves process efficiency, it helps recover and reuse water in industrial processes, thereby alleviating the constraints on already stressed water systems,” said Santiago Ulloa.
TMCAqua is a patented, nano-coated ceramic tube that yields 5-15% energy savings and recovers 40% of the moisture in hot, humid gas streams. Applications include package gas boilers, chemical and food processing plants, and laundromats. On a typical 300 HP package boiler, this technology can recover as much as 0.5 MM gallons of water per year.
“The TMC technology is an ideal solution that can help corporations achieve their ESG goals today and get ready for the future.
