The Challenge / Concern: Aluminum sulphate is the best coagulant in terms of efficiency and cost. Occasionally it fails to give proper results due to its narrow operating range. Though theoretically it has the acceptable operating pH range of 5.5 to 7.8, its typical range of optimum performance in common ambient temperatures is of pH …

The Challenge / Concern: Alkanes typically get oxidized to carbon dioxide and water. A client desired to directly convert light alkanes into alcohols through catalysis. Brief (and non-confidential) Solution Oxidation of alkanes to yield alcohols with higher selectivity is explored recently. Titanosilicalite TS-1 catalyses oxidation of light alkanes (including n-butane) and to give the corresponding …

The Challenge / Concern: Fly ash is the material of global concern produced at the numerous coal fired plants. Value added product with engineering rigor was desired that would consume significant quantities of fly ashes of varying composition. A technology was requested with such anticipation. Brief (and non-confidential) Solution Aerators are the porous and sturdy …
The Challenge / Concern: Glycerine is byproduct of transesterification while producing methyl esters. Crude glycerine production has a surge in last decade due to boom is biodiesel plants. Due to insufficient purity, crude glycerine finds no significant application. Hence effective methods for refining of glycerine are desired. Brief (and non-confidential) Solution Typical approaches for refining …
The Challenge/Concern: Desalination has scope to satisfy water need of world, but it is too much expensive. An effective, feasible and cost effective technology is desired against the thermal and membrane desalination processes. Brief (and non-confidential) Solution Directional solvents offer an advantageous approach for water purification. Many medium chain fatty acids are known to be …
