Técnicas Reunidas (TR) is a leading international company in the engineering and construction of industrial plants that develops and markets, through its In-House Technology Development Division (DDTP), technologies in the sectors of metals, critical raw materials, the environment (waste and water), and chemical processes.
The DDTP provides engineering services, technology licensing, technical assistance, and the supply of proprietary equipment for industrial plants based on its own technologies.
The Division researches and develops new technologies to enter new markets and to differentiate itself from its competitors in the markets where it operates.
More than 10 industrial plants built using DDTP technology are located in the United States, Japan, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Namibia. Among DDTP’s most important customers are some of the leading players in the zinc production market.
DDTP has a highly qualified team specializing in hydrometallurgical processes at its Technology Center, which enables TR to participate in international R&D projects that add value to its processes.
DDTP has developed innovative hydrometallurgical processes licensed by TR to produce ultra-pure metals with high added value. It also possesses technologies aimed at producing critical raw materials (rare earth elements, P, Li, Ni, Co, Mn, Cu, Co, and Si, among others) and develops technologies for the Green Transition, including green hydrogen production, CO₂ capture and utilization, and the circular economy.
The technologies licensed from TR have three objectives:
1. Flexibility.
2. Value-added products.
3. Environmental and economic efficiency.
Our expertise in hydrometallurgy is complemented by the research and advancements developed at the José Lladó Technology Center. TR provides technical expertise, turnkey solutions, and the ability to transform ideas into viable industrial solutions.
The DDTP has a highly qualified, multidisciplinary technical and scientific team that carries out its work at the José Lladó Technology Center. This center, spanning more than 5,000 m², features industrial and analytical laboratories, pilot plant facilities, and a mechanical workshop, all equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and software.
DDTP, as part of Técnicas Reunidas, applies the procedures of the Quality Management System and the Environmental Management System to all its projects, in accordance with the Quality and Environmental Management Manuals, based on ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, respectively.
Both of TR’s management systems have been certified by AENOR since 1997 and 2000, respectively.
Likewise, DDTP has an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSAS 18001) that has been certified by BSI since 2008.
For the DDTP, as for the rest of TR’s divisions, service quality, long-term relationships with clients, and the ability to compete effectively in any market are fundamental pillars of its strategy.
