Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power, Inc. (“API”), the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTCBB: AFPW), (the “Company”), announced today that it has begun the manufacturing of its third-generation portable balloon inflation system (PBIS-1000). This will be API’s first commercially available product.The new reactor is a lighter more ruggedized version of its predecessor with the same hydrogen generating ability (see API’s press release of August 3, 2009). A detailed Operations and Maintenance Manual for the PBIS-1000 has also been completed and will be available to customers. The majority of the PBIS-1000 manufacturing will take place at APEX Piping Systems, Inc., a large world class welding and manufacturing facility in nearby Delaware. While the PBIS-1000 will be manufactured at limited quantities initially, working with such a major firm as APEX will allow a rapid and seamless increase in production volume later in the year. These larger quantities will reduce the overall cost of the reactors going forward.
API’s Director of Engineering, Mr. Sean McIntosh, said: “We are excited to begin manufacturing the first production units of the PBIS-1000. We have spent a great deal of time and energy developing this new product, which will be the foundation for designing and producing many new and exciting hydrogen generators to serve a multitude of applications far beyond weather balloons."
