Coal will run the world's grid for decades. The question isn't whether to burn it — it's how to burn it better. ADK MnX1, our combustion catalyst, reduces SO₂, NOx and particulate matter at the source, without retrofitting a single plant.
ADK MnX1 is a benign liquid catalyst. No special handling certifications, no hazmat shipping, no complicated permitting. Spray it in, burn cleaner.
No capital expenditure, no downtime. ADK MnX1 integrates with your current boiler operations via a simple spray system — retrofits optional.
Every pilot trial comes with pre- and post-burn testing. You see the numbers before you commit to a long-term supply agreement — that is the model for our development-stage rollout.
ADK MnX1 works at the point of combustion — the moment where fuel meets oxygen. By lowering the ignition threshold and accelerating the oxidation chain reaction, it ensures more complete burning of the carbon matrix in coal.
What that means in practice: less unburned carbon leaving the boiler as soot and unburnt hydrocarbons, less slag formation on boiler tubes, and fewer acid gas precursors making it to the stack.
ADK MnX1 catalyzes the initial oxidation of char particles, expanding the effective combustion window.
More complete carbon consumption means plants can reduce excess oxygen without risking slagging — saving fuel.
Complete combustion means less incomplete-oxidation byproducts: less SO₃, less NOx precursors, less particulate.
Sulfur in coal oxidizes more completely — converts to fly ash rather than gas-phase SO₂.
Lower peak flame temperature and faster burn-out reduce thermal NOx formation.
Less unburned carbon means less particulate matter entering the stack and the ESP.
More BTU per pound of coal burned. Fuel savings compound with every shipment.
"We didn't wait for the perfect energy future. We built something that works with the energy present."Al Terpstra, President — ADK GreenTech
The world's most advanced economies still depend on coal for baseload power. The U.S. grid ran 33% on coal last year. Germany shut down its last nuclear plant and fired up more lignite. India is building new plants monthly.
ADK MnX1 was built for this reality — not the one that will exist in 2070. It's for plant operators who need to meet EPA compliance deadlines now, who want to extend the life of their assets without billion-dollar retrofits, and who want to be part of the solution rather than the problem.
We qualify your plant against the same criteria our lead database uses — capacity, MATS compliance year, and priority tier — to confirm pilot fit before any bench work begins.
Learn more about Test →We run ADK MnX1 on a fuel sample from your site in a benchtop reactor and confirm the combustion delta with third-party ICP-MS analysis before any on-site deployment.
Learn more about Pilot →A 30-day instrumented trial at a single unit, with pre/post burn testing on your coal and your boiler — supply commitments follow demonstrated performance, not the reverse.
Learn more about Scale →Cleaner combustion isn't a compromise. It's an engineering decision with measurable returns — on efficiency, on compliance, and on the communities living downwind of your stacks.
