We have developed a cost effective and reliable battery technology for the large scale energy storage. It is an innovation in Zinc Bromide batteries. Typically the ZnBr2 batteries are of flow type; and regarded as one of the cheapest and long lasting batteries. But the flow batteries need frequent maintenance, cause noise and have lesser …

The Challenge / Concern: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is promising semiconductor material. Nanoscaled ZnO with varying but specific morphology was needed to be synthesized. Brief (and non-confidential) Solution A relatively low temperature controllable chemical bath deposition protocol was developed by the speculated growth mechanism of metal oxides. Synthesis of one dimensional ZnO nanorods and two dimensional …

The Challenge / Concern: Low grade heat (water at 70-90oC) is wasted at energy intensive plants. Electrification of such low grade heat is not feasible by conventional routes such as stirling engine, thermoelectric, thermoacoustic etc. A more efficient device was desired which would have lesser dead work and wider compliance for variation in source and …
The Challenge / Concern: Variation in frequencies of power supply causes damage to electrical appliances as well as loss of performance. A compact attenuator was desired to mitigate harmonics in the AC electrical supply. Brief (and non-confidential) Solution Active and passive frequency filters were concerned. RL filters and simple inductive dampening was found of interest. …

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 …
