TecnoVeritas was born in 1994 by the name S.E.S.T., being first installed on the Taguspark – Science and Technology Park (15 km west of Lisbon) where it had training rooms and a small laboratory for the testing of diesel engines.

In the same year, S.E.S.T. opened its offices in London, where it acquired international projects, as well as provided a Spare Parts Procurement service worldwide.

In 1997, S.E.S.T. was certified by the ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), as a company specialised in condition monitoring and became a member of the COGEN Portugal, the Portuguese Association for Cogeneration of energy.

In 1998, the company starts to develop products for the diagnosis of Diesel engines assembling a portable laboratory for fuel analysis, called Fuel Lab.

On this year, products as Trident Diesel Engine Analyser”, “Trident Diesel Software” and “Trident Fixed Monitoring System” reached the final stage of development.

In 2000, S.E.S.T. performs the first engine conversion, in Australia.

On 12^th June 2001, the members of S.E.S.T. changed their corporate name to TecnoVeritas – Engineering Services and Technological Systems, due to this new name being identified with the type of services provided by the company.

In October 2002, TecnoVeritas’ facilities were transferred to the Mafra Business Center.

In 2005, it’s initiated the TecnoCat project, a catalyst to reduce the concentration of NO_x gases.

In 2006, the Liner Guardian, a system to monitor and detect wear between the piston and reciprocal machines shirts, is also initiated.

In November 2006, TecnoVeritas starts the HISMAR project co-financed by the European Commission, by the programme framework six. This project consisted of developing a multifunctional robotics platform, allowing to perform specific inspections or maintenance work.

In 2007, the first industrial system TecnoCat was installed at the ENVIROIL, in Torres Novas.

In 2008, TecnoVeritas held the first conversion in Portugal, at the cogeneration plant in Estarreja.

In September 2008, was granted the national invention patent “Detection and monitoring system of adhesive wear between pistons and shirts of reciprocal machines”, in the name of TecnoVeritas, resulting in an international patent report of the Liner Guardian, attesting the invention as well as your international industrial applicability.

In January 2009, TecnoCat was successfully tested on the TecnoVeritas lab engine, demonstrating efficiencies exceeding 50%.

Also on this month, TecnoVeritas finished the development of a laboratory with an engine turned to operate with hydrogen and vegetable oil to be installed at NaREC, a research and development platform for new and sustainable renewable energy technologies in the UK.

On this same year, it is implemented on board of a Singapore Ship the first VEEO.

In 2010, the company held the assembling of a prototype for the NO_x emissions control on large Diesel Engines, the name of the prototype was Enermulsion.

By the end of 2010, it was created the “TecnoVeritas, Asia Pacific”, in Singapore.

In January 2011, Enermulsion was successfully implemented on Cogeneration Central, near Viana do Castelo, Portugal.

During this year, TecnoVeritas received an order for 25 units of the VEEO system, the first one, in the world, to be certified with the Type Approval by American Bureau of Shipping –(ABS).

In 2012, TecnoVeritas won the First Prize for Clean Shipping of the Seatrade Awards with VEEO.

In 2013, TecnoVeritas won an honourable mention with Enermulsion, from The Green Project Awards, an international project. During this year, two units of Enermulsion are installed in India and Spain.

In October 2013, TecnoVeritas was chosen by the Portuguese Navy to perform sea trials to the oceanic patrol ship “Figueira da Foz”. Being the first Portuguese company chosen by the Portuguese Navy to do this kind of work.

It was in 2014, that TecnoVeritas created a new product, the BOEM-S, to complement VEEO, and also to be an independent product to monitor ships and plants performance.

TecnoVeritas signed a Protocol with Portuguese Navy, in September 2014.

In 2015, TecnoVeritas brought the M/V “Atlantida” to life, bringing it to Viana do Castelo and installing VEEO (Voyage Energy & Emissions Optimiser), interfacing with the Emmerson DamCos system.

In January 2015, TecnoVeritas went to Antartida to measure Torque power of the M/V Expedition.

In 2016, BOEM-S was selected by Rebonave to be installed on its fleet due to the wide application it allows, enabling the start of information digitization plan that the company was aiming to develop.

The company also started the project of implementation of a Unit for Fuel Oil Treatment, with the Enermulsion and the Desulphur, at the Eco-Oil facilities.

At the beginning of 2017, TecnoVeritas started the revamping of the Luxurious Yacht S.S. Delphine. The yacht received new boilers controls for optimising air-fuel ratio, feed water economiser, VEEO and BOEM-S.

In September 2017, TecnoVeritas was accredited by IPAC as an Independent MRV Verifier.
