CompRex is focused on developing the application for technologies in the power generation, water filtration, petrochemical production, and waste treatment industries.
Power Generation
Water Filtration
Petrochemical Production
Waste Treatment
Commercialization of next generation power plants, such as concentrated solar power and sCO2 Brayton-cycle powered systems, require development of advanced heat exchangers that can withstand extreme temperatures and pressures. CompRex has been a pioneer in these efforts, leading research on new materials such as 740H and cermet, innovative designs, and simplified manufacturing methods.
There are urgent, but as of yet unmet, needs for filtration solutions to address fracking wastewater disposal and PFAS contamination in drinking water. CompRex’s heat exchanger reactor technology has the potential to close the gap with its unique advantages in filtration efficiency and cost-effectiveness even for small scale systems.
Recent advances in petrochemical production have mostly relied on catalyst improvements and resulted in incremental efficiency gains. CompRex’s heat exchanger reactor can be a game changer for the industry, bypassing catalyst performance limitations and enabling major efficiency gains through process intensification and the use of completely new chemical processes such as oxidative coupling of methane.
CompRex and BGTL can provide integrated and cost-effective solutions for making high quality zero-sulfur fuels from a variety of feedstock at scales as small as 20 barrels per day.
