Job Description:
Torftech is a design engineering and intellectual property business that earns income from licensing and selling its proprietary TORBED and TORWAVE processors (www.torftech.com). These are widely used in the food, mineral, and waste industries for processes such as gas scrubbing and calcination. Our gas-solid contacting devices are designed to enhance process efficiency. The TORWAVE technology allows for improved presentation of materials to microwaves, overcoming traditional obstacles. Our machines facilitate hydro-carbon substitution, waste recycling, and energy efficiency, positioning us at the forefront of 'green' industrial processes. We are a small, close-knit team characterized by curiosity and intellectual rigor. As our business grows, we are looking to expand and offer competitive remuneration and the opportunity to work with expanding technologies.
