As independent consultants, APT is uniquely qualified to examine the technical and economic merits of various project development options.  Our contacts with equipment manufacturers and independent engineers coupled with our knowledge of local conditions and technical experience enable us to develop and analyze detailed and accurate project models considering a range of technologies, financing alternatives and other options available and suitable for the project.

APT will help in locating technically and economically viable sites for a particular project taking into account such factors as access to the country’s electric power transmission grid and/or users of process steam, access to adequate water supply, site access, public receptiveness to the project, cost of land, proximity to fuel sources, and others.

APT will review and document anticipated effects of the project on the local environment and community.  APT actively seeks public participation in the project siting and design process and works closely with area leaders in seeing that local communities obtain maximum benefit and minimum adverse impact from projects in which we are involved.  If required, APT is able to coordinate the preparation and submittal of detailed environmental assessment studies.

APT possesses all of the capabilities necessary to locate, evaluate and procure fuels and other resources required to sustain the project for its lifetime.  We have access to extensive regional fuel availability and pricing data as well as experience in negotiating equitable long-term supply agreements.
