Where potential clients come to see PEF technology working on their own products — before committing to anything. Real equipment. Real products. Real results.
LInDAAA is an applied research facility operated by EPS in Gouveia, in the Dão wine region of central Portugal. It is equipped with the full EPULSUS industrial range, a pilot winery and a pasteurisation line.
The facility was built to close the gap between scientific evidence and industrial conviction. A food producer considering PEF does not need another brochure. They need to see their own product (their must, their olive paste, their juice) going through the process and compare the result side by side with conventional treatment.
LInDAAA is also where EPS develops and validates new PEF protocols for agri-food applications, in collaboration with research groups, universities and industry partners.
OIV-OENO 634-2020 — Pulsed Electric Field treatment is an accepted oenological practice, recognised by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine since 2020.
Dão wine region, central Portugal. Situated in one of Portugal's most important wine-producing areas, with direct access to local producers for collaborative trials and within the olive oil belt of central-northern Portugal.
All results below come from trials conducted with EPULSUS generators, at LInDAAA or in collaboration with partner wineries, olive mills and research institutions. References cited were published in relevant peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Native fermentation yeasts unaffected when stabilisation is applied post-fermentation, once their work is complete. pH, total acidity and alcohol content unchanged by PEF treatment. Preserved organoleptic profile after Microbial Inactivation Treatments in Wine — no significant differences detected by tasting panel in blind comparison vs. untreated control.
Step through the vinification process to see the three points where EPULSUS generators can be applied, and what the data show for each intervention.
Real production context: at 100 ton/day with an EVOO price of 4€/kg, a +1 percentage point yield increase generates +4,000€/day in additional revenue. PEF operating costs at this scale are approximately 25€/day (energy + electrode set). ROI: 1–2.5 years.
PEF-treated juices have been approved for commercial sale across the EU and US markets. Technology classified as a non-thermal processing method — no regulatory barriers to sale of treated products in European markets.
pH, total soluble solids and total acidity of milk are not affected by PEF. Organoleptic profile unchanged. PEF+HT combination allows pasteurisation at 64°C instead of 72°C — lower thermal load with equivalent or superior microbial safety.
A cost-benefit analysis for a typical olive mill processing 100 tonnes of olives per day, at an EVOO price of 4€/kg.
* Results depend on olive variety, maturity and processing conditions. EPS trials demonstrated yield increases of 7–23% depending on variety. Conservative estimate used for H₀ scenario.
Complete pilot-scale winery for vinification trials. Red and white lines. PEF treatment of must before pressing, during maceration and for microbial stabilisation — including Brettanomyces inactivation. Used for the PureWine project trials and ongoing customer demonstrations.
Continuous-flow PEF system for juices, liquid foods and beverages. Directly comparable with thermal HTST — same throughput, measurable difference in product quality. Instrumented for temperature, conductivity, microbial count and energy consumption.
FBML1-5, BM1A-12 and BM3B-12 available simultaneously. Different waveforms, field strengths and chamber geometries can be evaluated in parallel on the same raw material — protocol optimization data in a single session. Batch and flow-through chambers for all configurations.
Bring your own raw material: grape must, olive paste, juice, or any food product you produce. We run the trial on what you actually work with. Minimum quantities from 5–20 litres depending on application. We handle transport logistics on request.
Based on your application and target outcome, our engineers define PEF protocol and chamber geometry. We run multiple conditions in sequence so you compare results directly. Everything is instrumented and logged.
Option to have analytical parameters relevant to your decision analysed and verified by certified independent laboratories. Yield and Energy Consumption determined in-house. A comprehensive written report follows within two weeks. No commercial commitment required. The data is yours.
Different fields, different starting points. Pick the path that matches your work — each goes straight to the right team.
Bring your must, olive paste or juice. We run PEF on your own raw material and you leave with side-by-side data and a written report. No commercial commitment.
