PROJECT LABORATORY/RESEARCH LABORATORY/CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE

Two R & D laboratories have been setup to carry out project work and research activity to gain knowledge in emerging areas of chemical Engineering used in industries for product development. 

1. R & D laboratories:

The department has established two R & D laboratories apart from curriculum laboratories for undergraduate students. The laboratories are equipped with the instruments like Fluidization column, Potentiostat, PSRBC, Digital Balance, UV- Vis Spectrophotometer, Viscometer, and Mixture Grinder.The aims ofestablishment ofR &D laboratories are to provide extra facilities to the students to carry out their project works. Back-up power supply is provided tor R & D laboratories and it is open for beyond the working hours.So studentscan utilize the facilities for longer period in a day.

2. Centre of Excellence

A Center of Excellence (CoE) is generally a physical or virtual center of research which concentrates on existing capacity and resources to enable researchers to collaborate across disciplines and institutions, for projects that are locally relevant and internationally challenging. These projects help enhancing the pursuit of excellence in research and capacity development. These centers promote multi-disciplinary academic as well as practice-oriented research and encourage the formation of strong research groups to help recognizing true excellence inresearch and having high impact on various stakeholders. The Centre of Excellence for bio fertilizer production has been started in the year 2017. We tryto integrate the efforts of chemist, biologist and engineers working with different aspects of biofertilizer at this center to produce different types of products.

3. Project works:

The project work is given to the students on new and emerging areas of biotechnology, multidisciplinary areas and basic research relevant to societal development. To trigger an R&D culture inthe institution including at the department encouragements are givenfor collaborative and sponsored research, publications in reputed national/international journals and conferences, patents, innovations, commercializationofproducts. To imbibe the interest onproject and recent areas of research students are sent to different national repute institutes to take training at least for 10 days in lower semesters of the departments.The major areas where the students are carry out their project works includes environmental engineering, Biotechnology, Fluidization, Wastewater treatment,production of bio fuel etc.For in house project work,studentscarryout experimentswithexisting laboratoryfacilities available at the department and in case of requirement the samples are sent to the outside repute organizations for testing/analysis purposes with prior permission of the concerned organization.
