Innovation
Innovative processes
Atmostat, develops in-house a particularly extensive technological base, relying on its 'innovation cluster' composed of doctors in sciences and engineers.
Beyond its range of own products, Atmostat also meets specific requirements, adapting its products to needs and applications requiring a particular design.
Partners
Research & Development
ATMOSTAT has a network of academic and industrial key partners.
Founding Members of the ASTECH Paris Région competitiveness cluster, AER and ATMOSTAT are involved in R&D collaborations with major players on the market.
ATMOSTAT and CEA -Liten created with the support of the National Agency for Research a common laboratory named LACRE that targets the development of exchangers reactors for process intensification in energy markets and chemistry.
