Description
The Engineering and Process Control Group has devoted its activity since 1989 to the development of technologies dedicated to improve design, construction and operation mode of laboratory-scale reactors and micro-scale pilot plants, and their data acquisition, supervisory and control systems. In 2003 this Group founded a spin-off company, Process Integral Development Eng&tech (PID Eng&Tech – www.pidengtech.com), that was awarded with the first prize “II Contest of Ideas for Spin-off companies of Researchers” in 2004. The Group patented the developed technologies, and the CSIC (proprietor of these patents) granted PID Eng&Tech, under a Patent License Agreement, to fabricate, sell and export these products. The number of countries in which PID Eng&Tech sales its equipments has grown steadily to a point that it is now present in 4 continents and more than 30 countries. The main patents granted are:
- “Modular integrated elements for processes control”: ES2032182
- “Automated reactor for catalytic microactivity studies”: ES2245238 – PCT/ES2005/070079 – WO2006/008328 – EP1757930 – US2008/063565
- “Servopositioner for microregulation valve: ES2245239 – PCT/ES2005/070080 – WO2006/021603 – EP1775504 – US2007/241296
- “Capacitive level sensor for reduced volume systems”: ES2249139 – PCT/ES2005/070081 – WO2006/021604 – EP1757911 – US7,895,891
- “Capacitive sensor device”: P200930603 – PCT/ES2010/070559 – WO2011/020939
