Service Offering

The PLANET platform offers technical and scientific support for the development, optimization, and evaluation of processes for transforming and valorizing agro-resources. Its services are based on process expertise and instrumented pilot-scale equipment, making it possible to carry out trials, studies, and collaborative projects.

Engineering services

R&D development
We support the development of a new method or process, from experimental design through to results analysis.
Examples of services: literature review; experimental design; test plan; multi-parameter optimization; detailed scientific report...

Process diagnosis & expertise
We analyze existing technical issues in order to identify causes, action levers, and areas for improvement.
Examples of services: material and process characterization; defect analysis; technical recommendations; action plan proposal...

Testing & technical validation
We carry out trials to test a method, a process parameter, or a technical solution.
Examples of services: grinding trials; particle size characterization; separation trials; extrusion trials...

Example of support
Depending on the project’s needs, PLANET may intervene to:
° carry out feasibility and development trials;
° conduct experimental studies and characterizations;
° contribute to the definition of a protocol;
° co-design trials;
° join a collaborative or contractual project.

Contractual arrangements

Collaboration with the platform may take several forms:
° Service contract: implementation of technological equipment and/or analytical characterization methods
° Research service contract: development of technological operations and/or analytical methods
° Research collaboration contract: contribution to technological or analytical approaches linked to a scientific issue (participation in publicly funded projects, such as ANR or BPI)
