UTD RF Technology Pilot Plant for Insect and Insect Egg Disinfestation
The UTD RF Technology Pilot Plant (Uniform Thermal Distribution of Radio Frequency Technology Pilot Plant) is a project under the Science and Technology Park, Chiang Mai University (STeP). This project utilizes Radio Frequency (RF) Technology and applies it to agricultural produce. The core objective is to solve the problem of insects and insect eggs in milled rice by using radio frequency waves that cause molecular vibration. This process, known as Uniform Thermal Distribution of Radio Frequency (UTD RF), effectively eliminates insects and their eggs throughout their lifecycle in the rice without the use of chemicals. The Pilot Plant is located at the Northern Science Park Management Building (Chiang Mai Province).
CMU Coffee
CMU Coffee is an initiative developed by the Highland Research and Training Center, Faculty of Agriculture, Chiang Mai University. This brand of coffee is produced from the university’s research findings and aims to foster opportunities for the development of high-quality Arabica coffee in the northern highlands for all individuals interested in the coffee business.
To support this goal, the center conducts academic training activities covering the entire coffee process, including cultivation, green bean preparation, roasting, and brewing. Furthermore, the center also provides coffee hulling (milling) services to the general public.
Innovative Food Fabrication Pilot Plant
Innovative Food Fabrication Pilot Plant is operated by the Science and Technology Park, Chiang Mai University (STeP).
