Built upon our Microlith® catalytic substrate technology, PCI has several very small (100’s of Watts) to medium sized (kWs) catalytic burner/oxidizer products in development for a variety of fuels including methane, propane, butane, methanol, gasoline and JP-8. Emissions are very low. For example, a natural gas fueled version of our low NOx and low CO burner demonstrated emissions of CO less than 2 pm and NOx less than 0.3ppm.
Made with our short contact time Microlith® catalyst technology, our burners and oxidizers are typically more compact and lighter in weight than competing technologies. These attributes bring value to mobile applications, and retrofit applications, especially for defense, aerospace, and vehicles.

Fuel Cell System Oxidizer
PCI’s inerting burner and fuel reformer start burner are two innovations that will help alleviate the innate difficulties of fuel cell system startups. PCI’s anode gas oxidizer uses an innovative catalytic technology to not only oxidize volatile tail-gas emissions, but to recycle waste heat.
