APT - Home

APT has pioneered development of a new generation of inductively coupled (ICP) or radio-frequency (RF) plasma torches with remote ignition and became the world's first manufacturer of high efficient 1+ bar pressure plasma sources with near unlimited lifetime.

APT conducts research and development in such promising fields as coal, waste, and bio-mass gasification, hydrogen and nano-powders production, non-equilibrium plasma coating and surface treatment, plasma purification of water, food processing and pasteurization, pumping of gas-dynamic lasers.

Focused on searching and validation of innovative plasma based technologies for further commercialization and mass production, APT develops and manages several international projects, including New Generation High Power & High Pressure (up to 20 bar) ICP/RF Torches (click here to see Torch 1 in operation on air and Torch 2 in operation on argon); Supersonic Plasma Igniters for Scramjets and Rocket Motors; Plasma Fuel Nozzles for Gas Turbines; Plasma Enhanced Tornado Combustors; High Frequency Gas Ionizers; Waste-to-Power Plants; Plasma Assisted Coal Combustion and Gasification Modules with Regulative Syngas Composition; etc.

From 2005 APT is the organizer and host of the annual International Workshop and Exhibition on Plasma Assisted Combustion (IWEPAC). IWEPAC-7 has been held 13 - 15 September 2011 in Las Vegas, U.S.A. Starting in 2010, the Workshop location would be moved second year from the US to other continents. So IWEPAC-8 will be hosted by the International Plasma Technology Center, U.S.A. It will be held 11-14 September, 2012 in Latin America (Brazil or Chile).

APT has initiated and is working with the U.S. and foreign countries governments and private investors on establishing of the International Plasma Technology Center to develop and bring to the world market place advanced plasma based technologies.

APT has established an International Council of Experts in the field of plasma assisted combustion, which provides consultative services to help government institutions, investors, and industry experts navigate in the field of plasma based technologies, review the projects with significant social and environmental impact, start working on the National Plasma Assisted Combustion Roadmap to develop an integrated plan to advance the field.

APT is a world leader in development and manufacturing of advanced plasma products for industrial, marine, and aerospace applications with over 1,200 plasma systems in operation worldwide.

Please note, PLASMA IS NOT A MAGIC WAND! Every plasma product is unique, developed to satisfy specific customer needs, and in many cases can not be open for public due to confidentiality limitations and export control regulations.
