Process
Laboratory
The process laboratory is based on experimental development through academic practices, whose objective is to train the student in the assembly and commissioning of practices involving chemical processes, providing the necessary means to perform experimental demonstrations in the area of chemical engineering to familiarize students with equipment that the Chemical Engineer will work on an industrial scale.
It consists of five areas:
- Area 1: Precision balance laboratory, reverse osmosis water purifier.
- Area 2: Laboratory for repair and assembly of equipment for practices and projects.
- Area 3: Laboratory of pilot plants used for undergraduate practices and projects, in this area we can find the following equipment: Rotary dryer, rubber processing plant, vulcanizing presses, filter press, rotary drum filter, centrifugal pump, packed towers, absorption column, tray dryer, mini evaporator, double acting evaporator, loss battery, heating battery, packed distillation tower, catalytic reactor, chemical reactor, ultrafiltration equipment, heat exchangers, controlled distillation tower, combustion unit, firetube boiler, liquid-liquid extractor, blade mill, ball mill, jaw crusher, Tyler series sieve set.
- Area 4: Laboratory of muffles and drying stoves.
- Area 5: Warehouse of laboratory materials and equipment used in practices and projects.

Integrated Center of
Chemical Engineering Laboratories - CILIQ
The School of Chemical Engineering, highlighting its teaching, research and extension functions, is committed to education and local and regional development in eastern Colombia.
Therefore, more than 5 years ago, it was decided to create the Integrated Center of Chemical Engineering Laboratories CILIQ, focused not only on satisfying the needs of students, professors and researchers, but also those of companies and institutions in the region and our customers.
The CILIQ provides specialized services, of high scientific and technological quality in analyses that cover a large part of the physicochemical properties of substances at a qualitative and quantitative level.
- Agribusiness: Natural products, Water analysis, Food formulation, Soil analysis, Biodigestion and Biomass characterization.
- Mining and Petroleum: Quantification of metals, quantification of hydrocarbons, aromatic and phenols, Biofuel analysis, Analysis of clays and improved clays, Analysis of precious metals and gems, Characterization of coals and rubbers and Characterization of fuels and BTEX.
- Manufacturing: Characterization of chemicals and raw materials, Stabilization of formulations, Cosmetics, Analysis of components, Analysis of pigments Characterization of steels, Characterization of plastics and polymers Paints Safety data sheets.
- Research and Development: Tax incentives, Product Development, New Materials and Specialized Consulting.
- Education: Short refresher courses, Chemical instrumentation equipment handling training, Diplomas and Guided Laboratory Tours for students.
TGA analysis: Thermal analysis covers a wide number of tests in different fields: polymers, conductive materials, paints, cosmetics, food, biofuels and biomass among others.
- Thermal decomposition of polymers and biomass
- Degradation of a chemical compound with respect to temperature
- Dehydration of inorganic material
- Close analysis of different materials (moisture, volatiles, fixed coal and ash) Thermal stability of different materials
- Thermal decomposition of an organic and inorganic mixture
- Study of half-life of various products and kinetic decomposition
- Effect of atmospheres on different materials
Analysis of Scanning Calorimetry Differences (DSC): From the monitoring of temperature change and heat flow, the energy changes of a sample are evaluated, which makes it possible to perform analysis of:
- Detection of glass transitions
- Measurement of melting temperatures
- Measurement of crystallization temperatures
- Heat capacity measurements
- Oxidation induction time in polymers (OIT)
Infrared Analysis (FTIR): Qualitative and quantitative analysis of plastics, improved clays, polymers, solvents, rubbers, fossil fuels, crude oils, biodiesel, edible oils, lubricants and industrials.
Viscosity Analysis: Viscosity analysis is mainly performed on samples of hydrocarbons, lubricants, paints, some foods and cosmetics, such as creams and oils. This can be done at different temperatures to determine its variation.
- Viscosity of fluids and emulsions at different temperatures
- Food viscosity (fluid chocolate and sauces)
- Viscosity of paints and coatings (guarantees homogeneous coating quality) Viscosity of liquid asphalts Ointments and creams, shampoo, lotions Edible, lubricating and industrial oils
- Biofuels
Raman analysis: is a spectroscopic technique used in condensed matter chemistry and physics to study low-frequency modes such as vibratory, rotatory, and others
- Characterization of materials (gems, new developments)
- Authenticity of paintings, valuable and historical documents
- Analysis of polymers, chemicals and drugs Art and heritage
Chromatographic analysis: Gas chromatography analysis coupled to mass spectrometry is a technique that allows the determination of volatile and semi-volatile substances in a wide variety of samples such as oils, solvents, food, etc. In addition, it facilitates a qualitative analysis.
- Qualitative determination of volatile and semi-volatile compounds in different samples Determination of aliphatic hydrocarbons
- Determination of semi-volatiles in water
- Characterization of biooil, biodiesel and oils
Surfactant Analysis: Surface and interfacial tension procedures of pure liquids, surfactants, surfactants, surfactants, oils and crudes.
Other Services: CILIQ has its doors open to any need of entrepreneurs in order to develop new methods and generate added value in the industry
The CILIQ is directed by a specialized committee, operated by a laboratory professional in charge of the implementation of the analytical techniques and a professional technician in charge of the safety and correct functioning of the equipment.
