The resaults are unparalleled by fixed-bed and nozzle reactors (like the Imbert):

• Ultra-Clean Output: Production of clean gas over a much wider operating window.
• Technical Carbons: Our biocarbon PAH levels (and other contaminants are) typically below detectable limits.

Unprecedented Potential

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.

• Multi-Modal Value Stream: The reactor can operate in full biocarbon production, power generation, gas, or heat draw modes—an elasticity not possible with previous generations.
• Enhanced Hydrogen Production: The reactor’s base syngas starts at roughly 25% H₂ (much higher than the previous Imbert). With combined steam/O₂ injection, the H₂ content can exceed 50%, providing an excellent, N₂-diluent-free base for gas up-migration experiments toward pure H₂ or RNG (Renewable Natural Gas).
• Feedstock Flexibility: It handles even the most challenging materials excellently, expanding flexibility to include higher ash and finer biomass feedstocks.

Dedicated Research Platform

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.

Carbon Transformation Platform

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.

What is the GEN3 used for?

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:

• Technical Carbons (Black Carbons): A single category encompassing biochar, activated carbons (like those for PFAS remediation), graphite, and bio-materials.
• Green Gases: Syngas, hydrogen (H₂), and methane (CH₄) derived from bio-sources.

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.
