APL News – So what is our Gen3 reactor all about?
Introducing: The GEN3 CharPallet R&D First APL Product Using the New Process Architecture! The CharPallet R&D is a highly configurable biomass thermal conversion test platform based on the new APL Swirl Hearth Cracker Reactor. This GEN3 process architecture offers exceptional control of individual process stages, as well as a novel separation of gasses and solids at critical conversion points in the reactor. These separations – and related advanced controls – create unique opportunities for highly technical char and syngas production, as well as exceptionally clean outputs! The core GEN3 innovation is an internal tar cracking swirl chamber that achieves consistent tar……

SF Climate Week
Unity, Innovation, Community, Technology, and ALL Power Labs commitment during SF Climate Week “Unity, Innovation, Community and Technology” are the roles that San Francisco Mayor, London Breed said will be emphasised during the upcoming SF Climate Week from the 21st to the 27th of April 2024. At ALL Power Labs we have been working on carbon drawdown solutions since 2008 and found ourselves inspired by the words of the Mayor Breed because, as innovation technology providers, we know that we are only part of the solution. The other part of the solution is truly “Unity and Comm-Unity”. We believe……
End of Year Update
December 2022 2022 has been a year of reemergence for APL.

We’re also simply pleased to still be here after a decade+—despite a few bumps and bruises—but moreso with vastly advanced machines vs a decade ago, and incredible memories of all the people we’ve met around the world, during this ongoing story of taming gasification for general use and global impact. All of us have been……
