Laboratories
Water Laboratory and Pilot Area
We are a benchmark in business R&D&I in Water Technologies as we have pilot-scale plants that allow us to determine whether a process is technically and economically viable before its design and construction on an industrial scale.
Biorefinery Laboratory
Para reforzar las actividades I+D+i que CETENMA desarrolla enfocadas a la economía circular, contamos en nuestras instalaciones con equipamiento experimental que constituye las 4 etapas transversales da las biorrefinerías:
Bioenergy Laboratory
We have a bioenergy laboratory, with the capacity to develop waste treatment projects through thermal valorisation (pyrolysis processes) and biological valorisation (anaerobic co-digestion processes).
Laboratorio de calibración
Aportamos a las empresas asesoramiento especializado que les permita establecer e identificar qué equipos de medida deben ser controlados, elaborar planes de control, verificación y calibración y por último la calibración de dichos equipos.
Energy Efficiency Laboratory
We have equipment for carrying out Energy Audits, Control and Monitoring of Consumption as well as for Savings Measurement and Verification.
Engine Laboratory
Nuestro laboratorio de motores nos permite analizar las condiciones de funcionamiento y operación de grupos electrógenos industriales para realizar el estudio comparativo sobre el uso de los combustibles.
