In UDT we are leaders in the provision of technological services based on our equipment, infrastructure and experience, as well as the technical and professional team we have. Our clients are companies from various fields, both from Chile and abroad, research institutes, universities and public entities.
OUR SERVICES
CHARACTERIZATION
We establish the composition of raw materials, products and waste. We have accredited laboratories in the characterization of hazards and biofuels, and analytical capacity to perform physical and chemical tests on solid and liquid matrices from the agroforestry, plastic, chemical, energy, mining and food sectors, mainly.
DEMONSTRATIVE PRODUCTION
We have capabilities and pilot equipment for scaling technologies and/or obtaining products in sufficient quantity to evaluate their performance under real conditions of use. Through this, we facilitate the development and transfer of knowledge, and reduce the uncertainty of a technological investment.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
We have personnel specialized in providing advice and support in regulatory, environmental and quality issues, especially in areas related to the R&D projects we carry out.
