AGT currently has 9,400 square feet of office and laboratory space. Our current facility houses a wide range of research equipment including various power supplies (including 2 multi-phase high voltage power supplies) and components, various blowers, multiple transformers, and an array of diagnostic equipment (including pitot tubes & hot-wire anemometer). Our facilities include a full equipment assembly shop, electronic fabrication shop as well as sufficient space available for bench-scale studies. Several research and development programs are underway at AGT in areas pertaining to fine particulate control, surface energy changes, microbial sterilization, and chemical decontamination.
