Tempest Dryer

Founded in 1999, GRRO is an Iowa based environmental solutions company that develops and markets cyclonic air drying technologies.  The patented cyclonic dryers provide cost effective solutions for waste disposal.  The GRRO Tempest Drying System proprietary technology is unique because the only energy required to operate the system is for the blowers and conveying equipment.  There are no boilers, furnaces, or steam generators required.  The technology behind the Tempest Dryers is large volumes of air moving at incredible speeds to pulverize and separate the liquids from the solids. Best of all, the new systems containers offer ease of installation.  The units can be brought on site and can start drying almost immediately.  “We are very proud of the Johnson Gas Appliance Company’s manufacturing team and the other Iowa companies they have brought in to manufacture the Tempest.  These are long standing and first rate companies in the manufacturing industry with 80 to 109 years experience,” noted GRRO Chairman, Loran Balvanz, who went on to state, “The biomass to fuel expansion is upon us with many large utility industries looking for fuel and to lower their carbon footprint.  We have a very innovative and cost efficient answer.”
Current applications include:

Pulp and Paper Sludge
Corn Stalks
All Animal Manures, Swine, Chicken, Cattle, Turkey
