This is a strategic unit of operation, providing competitive advantage to our future and present services, products. Current research is being geared towards achieving high performances in combustion according to the environmental parameters and contemporary directives. The laboratory is a veritable testing ground for regulation tests according to the International Gas Rules, like e.g. EN, AGA, ANSI, SASO, etc. standards. Instruments and equipment used are checked and calibrated according to an annual schedule. Prototypes are tested in the lab under regular and extraordinary conditions: spontaneous ignition, overheating, light-back, superpower and flame lift.

Initially prototypes are studied through specific 3D software, in order to enable the engineers to discover constructive aspects. It is here that burners are prototyped and equipment prepared to house the new component. In addition, this is also where new prototypes, prepared based on specific user requests, are put to the test, assuring the customer consistently new and technologically advanced products at increasingly low costs.
