With over 20 years of experience, ITOPP (formerly ITHPP) has become the French leader in high pulsed-power and high-power microwave technologies.
Driven by customer specifications, ITOPP designs and manufactures adapted and highly innovative systems linking these technologies to scientific research and also to civil and military applications.
High Pulsed-Power technologies allow for the amplification of electrical power delivery over a shorter burst period. Since energy is the product of power over time, by maintaining a constant flow of energy and reducing the duration of the pulse, it is possible to achieve powers in excess of one hundred Gigawatts.
High-Powered Microwaves are very highly charged electromagnetic pulsations capable of disturbing and even destroying electronic components used in today's increasingly complex systems. The interest in these high-powered microwaves are due to the vast array of uses, varying from more classic uses (such as Radar) to more advanced technologies, such as those used in Electronic Warfare.

KHIMOD develops production units of molecules of interest by catalytic synthesis.
The solutions developed by KHIMOD address a wide range of chemical reactions occuring in sectors such as energy or chemistry. KHIMOD proposes Production Units involving methane synthesis for Power to Gas (as well as Waste to Gas). They also propose Isolated Site Units producing liquid fuel, or even Production Units of KSMs (Key Starting Materials) for chemistry.
The core of KHIMOD strategy, as a green tech company, is to reduce anthropic CO2 either by transforming it into molecules of interest or by improving the energy efficiency (less CO2 emissions) of the different catalytic syntheses that KHIMOD units are able to address.
Production units developed by KHIMOD integrate an innovative heat exchanger-reactor manufactured through a diffusion bonding process. This assembly process provides unparalleled levels of performance for thermal control of highly demanding reactions as well as high levels of safety.

Under the BMTI brand, ALSEAMAR develops, manufactures and sells pure syntactic foam for subsea buoyancy applications at extreme depths (1,000 to 12,000 m). This material made from glass and epoxy resin microspheres is able to conserve high level properties even after demanding subsea use: immersion in seawater, hydrostatic pressure of several hundred bar, immersion in sometimes unstable temperatures and for long periods of time.
With its proprietary formulas and special manufacturing processes, BMTI knows how to distinguish itself by offering different grades of world-class syntactic foam: low or very low density even in deep waters, enhanced mechanical properties, thermal stability if required, etc.
BMTI has developed unique and integrated testing equipment and procedures in house to guarantee high-performance buoyancy products: permanent floats with several tonnes of thrust for oil and gas, buoyancy modules for ROVs and AUVs, buoyancy for subsea tools, etc.
Our production equipment enables us to be highly responsive and able to maintain the whole float manufacturing chain, which is an important advantage in this sector.
