ADVANCED MATERIALS SCIENTIA
We engineer advanced ceramic particle and coating technologies for high-temperature, high-pressure geothermal and energy environments.
What We Do
AMS develops ceramic particles and coatings for the harshest thermal and structural environments in industry. Our focus is Enhanced Geothermal Systems, where materials must hold their strength, conductivity, and chemistry over long service life at depth. The same materials science supports thermal storage and extreme-service coatings.
EGS Proppants
ZrO₂–MgAl₂O₄ spinel-coated proppants engineered for enhanced geothermal fracturing.
Thermal Energy Storage Particles
Ceramic media for concentrated solar power and grid-scale thermal storage.
Geothermal Brine Pretreatment
Silica scavenging and scale mitigation for geothermal surface operations.
High-Temperature Coatings
A protective coating platform for extreme thermal and structural service.
Industries We Serve
Energy & Geothermal
Geothermal wells run hot, deep, and chemically aggressive. Conventional materials developed for oil and gas service were not designed for these conditions, and their limits show up as lost production. AMS works on the material failures that sit directly on the critical path.
Proppant durability and conductivity
Proppants crush, embed, and dissolve under geothermal temperature and stress, closing the fracture network and reducing flow over time. Coated ceramic proppants are designed to hold conductivity across the life of the reservoir.
Thermal storage efficiency
Particle-based storage depends on media that cycles thousands of times without attrition, sintering, or loss of heat transfer performance. Particle chemistry and morphology drive system economics.
Brine chemistry and scaling
Dissolved silica precipitates as brine cools, fouling surface equipment and injection wells. Targeted pretreatment removes silica before it becomes a maintenance and downtime problem.
Partner With Us
We work with research institutions on joint proposals and testing campaigns, with industry partners on field validation in geothermal and energy operations, and with toll manufacturers on scale-up of particle and coating production.
