Laboratories

We have three floors of world-class laboratory facilities with advanced equipment.

The spinning drop tensiometer is an example of the advanced equipment at the centre.

DTU Offshore – Danish Offshore Technology Centre – has built a laboratory set-up for research and development within subsurface energy resources, carbon and energy storage, waste water management, and sensor technology.

The lab researchers and lab team work closely together with our computer modelling experts. This ensures correlation between the modelling studies and 'the real world'.
