APT - Home

APT has pioneered development of a new generation of inductively coupled (ICP/RF) plasma torches and became the world's first manufacturer of high efficient atmospheric pressure plasma sources with near unlimited lifetime.

APT conducts research and development in such promising fields as bio-mass and solid fuels gasification, hydrogen and high purity silicon production, waste to power processing, nonequilibrium plasma coating and surface treatment, plasma aerodynamics, air and water treatment, IC engine improvements.

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 Hybrid Torches (click here to see Torch in operation); Supersonic Plasma Igniters for Scramjets and Rocket Motors; Plasma Fuel Nozzles; Plasma Enhanced Tornado Combustors; High Frequency Gas Ionizers; Waste-to-Power Plants; Advanced Coal Ignition and Gasification; etc.

From 2005 APT is the organizer and host of the annual International Workshop and Exhibition on Plasma Assisted Combustion (IWEPAC). IWEPAC-5 has been held 15 -18 September 2009 in Alexandria, Virginia, U.S.A. Starting in 2010, the Workshop location would be moved second year from the US to other continents. So IWEPAC-6 will be hosted by the Institute of Space Propulsion of the German Aerospace Center. It will be held 13-16 September, 2010 in Lampoldhausen, Germany.

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.
