Alternative Fuel Technology Center launches in Texas

In Texas, the Southwest Research Institute launched a collaborative effort to assist  clients to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and to address governmental mandates for alternative fuel production and tightened emissions standards.

SwRI’s new International Alternative Fuel Technology Center (IAFTC) will maximize the Institute’s decades-long expertise in fuels and fluids.  SwRI laboratories are outfitted with state-of-the-art instrumentation and equipment to perform fluids processing and analysis safely and efficiently. Process technology capabilities include a Fuels Processing Center with laboratory-scale unit process equipment, quantitative and qualitative analytical support and drum-scale pilot plants.
