BIOMASS 2026 Conference & Expo • Nashville, TN
Meet our team of high-temperature experts at the International Biomass 2026 Conference & Expo in Nashville, TN! With a hands-on approach and customer-focused discovery process, our engineers can help you develop a plan to mitigate inefficiencies and improve plant reliability. Using a variety of innovative technologies, advanced materials, and industry-leading design techniques, we can assist in prototypes and pilot plants for many emerging markets, including biomass, bioenergy recovery, carbon capture, green hydrogen streams, and high-temperature energy capture and storage.
Coupled with our time-tested heat transfer solutions, we’ll be showcasing our AirBTU VPRR High-Temperature Gas-to-Gas Recuperator, capable of design-in reliability up to 1200°C.
Let us help you optimize your plant!
“The 19th annual International Biomass Conference & Expo will take place March 31–April 2, 2026, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Organized by BBI International and produced by Biomass Magazine, this event unites professionals from across the biomass utilization industries—biobased power, thermal energy, fuels, and chemicals.
The event brings current and future producers of bioenergy and biobased products together with waste generators, energy crop growers, municipal leaders, utility executives, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, project developers, investors, and policy makers. With 30+ panels, more than 100 speakers, and four technical tracks covering pellets and biocarbon, biomass power and thermal, biogas and renewable natural gas, and renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuels, the conference provides valuable technical insight and networking opportunities for stakeholders across the biomass value chain.”

AirBTU VPRR: High Temperature Energy Capture
Are you looking to improve the reliability of your high-temperature heat transfer equipment? By integrating our AirBTU VPRR heat transfer solution, industry professionals can avoid common pitfalls and “design in” reliability and efficiency. The AirBTU VPRR is designed to:
- Avoid cold-end corrosion. The introduction of low-temperature air can result in cold spots within a recuperator, causing condensation of some constituents of the process gas stream. The resulting reaction between this corrosive condensate and the heat exchanger surface is commonly referred to as cold-end corrosion. This destructive mechanism is “designed out” of the AirBTU VPRR, making it the ideal Heat Exchanger for Sulfuric Acid Applications.
- Eliminate stress failures. Temperature gradients across the tube bundle can lead to uneven stress concentrations at the tube-to-tube-sheet connections. These result in tubesheet failures with subsequent losses in production and costly repairs. We design in uniformity to eliminate this failure mode.
- Reduce pressure drops. Our VPRR features a proprietary design that reduces pressure drops for the best energy efficiency.
- Maximize thermal efficiency. Flow dynamics modeling is used to evaluate tube layouts and pass arrangements to create a symmetric design with optimal film coefficients and overall heat transfer rate. The resulting design requires less surface area and minimizes material and fabrication costs.
- Minimize maintenance downtime. In addition to minimizing failures caused by cold end corrosion and uneven mechanical stresses, we can “design-out” the potential for fouling.
