In a strategic collaboration with Enviva, the world’s leading producer of sustainably sourced wood biomass, Tricon has successfully engineered and implemented a cutting-edge solution to address cyclone wear and maintenance challenges at one of Enviva’s facilities.
Leveraging LIDAR 3D scanning technology, Tricon captured highly accurate measurements of the existing cyclone systems. This precision data enabled Tricon’s engineering team to design a customized, next-generation cyclone configuration that not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly improves maintenance accessibility.
To further extend the lifecycle of the equipment, Tricon incorporated its proprietary abrasion- and impact-resistant steels into the new design. These reinforcements were strategically applied to high-wear areas, dramatically reducing maintenance frequency and associated costs.
This upgrade aligns with Enviva’s commitment to operational excellence and sustainability. By minimizing downtime and extending equipment longevity, the solution supports Enviva’s mission to deliver reliable, renewable energy while maintaining the highest standards of environmental stewardship.
Tricon’s innovative approach underscores the power of advanced scanning technologies and material science in solving complex industrial challenges—delivering long-term value for partners like Enviva.
