Our machines can be considered as “Advanced agnostic converters that tame biomass thermal conversion for everyday use”. This core technology is enriched by “Phone home” Smart Tech that connects the machines to carbon markets for realistic distributed carbon credit generation.
We are proud to introduce the revolutionary GEN3 process architecture, a patented technology based on APL’s new Swirl Hearth Cracker Reactor. This is not just an evolution; it is a leap forward in thermal biomass conversion.
The central innovation of the GEN3 is its internal Swirl Chamber for tar cracking, which ensures exceptionally consistent tar conversion across a wide range of biomass types, void sizes, and gas extraction rates.
The resaults are unparalleled by fixed-bed and nozzle reactors (like the Imbert):
Thanks to a new separation of gas and solids at critical conversion points and advanced controls, the GEN3 offers unique opportunities for the production of highly technical materials.
The Gen 3 technology is specifically configured to support in-depth research, and production, in areas such as biomass gasification, activated carbon, biomaterials, and general carbon material development. For robust data collection, the system incorporates up to 30 sensing points for temperature, pressure, gas, and (optional) emissions monitoring, coupled with APL’s latest developments in controls and software architecture.
The GEN3 platform includes integrated digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (dMRV) capability,
providing continuous operational monitoring, secure data management, and advanced research functionality.
Provides structured access to all 250+ operational data points through an open API, allowing researchers to integrate
live and historical operational data into software such as Python, R, and
MATLAB for statistical analysis, modelling, and gasification research.
Automatically generates comprehensive reports at the end of every operational cycle, eliminating manual data
collection while providing standardized documentation.
Includes a library of ready-to-use performance visualisations for rapid assessment of reactor performance,
feedstock conversion efficiency, and biocarbon quality.

Designed for university researchers and advanced users, the GEN3 platform is a high-utility research system for
thermal conversion, gasification, and carbon transformation technologies.
The GEN3 is more than a reactor. It is a modular carbon transformation platform that enables regenerative
processes, waste-to-value applications, and next-generation research into sustainable thermal conversion.
Designed for university researchers and “deep enthusiasts,” our first product based on this architecture—the CharPallet R&D—is a high-utility research platform. Leverage the variety of “levers to pull” to produce:
The GEN3 is not just a reactor; it is a “Carbon Transformer” that paves the way for regenerative flows and waste-to-value solutions, bringing you to the frontier of thermal conversion.
