About Us
Company Profile
Airpurex Ltd has technical capabilities in design, manufacture and testing of filtration systems.
APL is a small innovation design and development company based in West Midlands UK, specialised in design and manufacturing of small-scale biomass gasification, pyrolysis reactor and filtration system. APL is currently working on a novel technology with non-thermal plasma for air and water filtration system. Our future projects include working on a fluidized bed reactor system at 1000°C. APL have worked on a number of different projects in Biomass gasification for EBRI at Aston University, University of Birmingham and American University of Sharjah UAE.
Mr. Tarique Habibullah CEO of Airpurex Ltd (APL) has collaborated (with Dr. Saghir) on various projects to co-design and fabricate pyrolysis and gasification pilot plants for research institutes around the world. He has MSc in Manufacturing Technology and BEng (HONS) in Aerospace Engineering. He has over 10 year experience in R&D and product development and has previously worked with air and water filtration including patent-pending non-thermal plasma technology.
We also have Dr Kui Zhang for technical and research support who have significant experience in air and water filtration systems.
