Altex Product Development Areas

Altex's unique knowledge base, and analysis and experimental tools have supported the development and test of new thermal management, fuel-processing, combustion and power-system technologies. Several fully instrumented test facilities are available at Altex covering capacities from 20 watts to nearly 3MW. These are complemented by models addressing chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, fuel transformation, combustion, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and pollution formation. Using these resources, Altex has supported technology development and demonstration in several key areas of expertise.

Thermal Management High performance low cost non-isotropic structures for heat exchangers, with 100% COP	Combined Heat and Power Combined heat and power systems, which meet boiler thermal needs, with added 100 kWe	Fuels Processing Fuel-Cell Power Systems 5-10kWe fuel cell and cogeneration systems, which operate on mil spec JP-8 and similar fuels
Low Emissions Burners Ultralow NOx burners to meet sub 5ppm NOx emissions		Fuels Processing Biomass Processing to Fuels Biomass conversion to biofuel, including biomass densification (40lb/cubic ft) for low-cost transport biofuels plants
