Altex is a privately held company, located in the heart of Silicon Valley,
California. The company was founded in 1985, to pursue the
development of novel fuels processing, combustion and power systems technologies, including fuel cells, direct
energy converters and gas turbines. Our mission is to deliver safe, clean, quiet, efficient and cost effective
energy and environmental systems to our clients.
Altex's
clients
include goverment, commercial, institutional and academic organizations. In the early years, Altex performed
pioneering research in turbulent combustion, working cooperatively with academic and DOE government laboratory
researchers at Sandia National
Laboratories, Livermore. From these efforts, Altex developed unique modeling and experimental core
competencies, which are utilized to engineer solutions to complex problems, at low cost. In addition, Altex
posseses unique test facilities, available for concept or product development work. Altex's facility has nearly 8000
square feet of space, with approximately one half
devoted to testing and test article preparation.
In support of customer initiatives, Altex will provide contract research, development, demonstration and
deployment services. By working with Altex, the typical fuels processing, combustion and
power system technology hurdles, which delay product development, will be overcome.
