Pioneering New Technologies
Providing New Solutions

Here in northern Minnesota peat is a common, overlooked, and little understood natural resource.  Its use has largely been limited to horticultural products.  Investigation into alternative use has been largely limited to applications involving use as a fuel. The amazing potential and chemical complexity present in Minnesota’s innumerable peat bogs deserves a much closer look.

American Peat Technology (APT) has searched, with some success, for markets that are unique and allow a “value added” approach to the end use.  We have been working diligently to supply the granular and fine grind peat products used by the agricultural inoculant industry.  The use of biological, rather than chemical, controls for combating crop disease is gaining acceptance and represents another application for APT’s products.

Research by the APT and Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) partnership has led to the development of a family of low cost ion exchange medias.  The waste water engineer now has a low cost product that targets the cationic form of a wide range dissolved heavy metals.  In addition, products that target sulfate, mercury, and phosphate are under development.

Take a look around and discover what APT and its products can do for you. Feel free to contact us with any questions you have.  Our management and engineering teams are happy to discuss your current and future needs.

We look forward to working with you!
