PROJECTS

 Enhancement in efficiency of Solar Cells

Technology: Conventional Convex lenses
Scope: To increase the efficiency of solar cells by trapping maximum amount
of available light and thereby increasing the intensity of light, this in turn
increases the photons striking the surface and thereby increases the current
output.

 Increasing Run-length of a Visbreaker Furnance, Essar Oil Ltd, Vadinar,

May-June’08
Technology: Changes in Design, Chemicals inhibiting coke formation.
Scope: To decrease coke formation, thereby increasing the Run-length of the
Visbreaking furnace.

 Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

Technology: Photosynthesis (In Force)
Scope: New generation solar cells, In contrast to conventional silicon
photovoltaic devices, the dye solar cell converts light energy to electricity on a
molecular level, similar to natural photosynthesis.

 Dust Resistant films for Solar cells

Technology: Nano-polymer coating (In Force)
Scope: For Countries like India, Dust accumulation on solar cells is a serious
problem, which decreases cell’s efficiency, the idea is to develop a economic
nano-polymer dust-resistant layer which averts dust build up.
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

 Training in “Hari Industries, Agra” from 14th May 2007 to 12th June,2007,
objective was to study various Unit Operation Equipments used in Paint industry.
 Training in “Pee Cee Soap & Chemicals Pvt. Ltd.” From 20th Nov 2007 to 5th
December 2007, objective various processes carried out in soap manufacture.
 Training in “Essar Oil Ltd, Vadinar Gujarat” from 20th May 2008 to 7th June
2008, done project on “Visbreaker Furnace”.
 Training in “Mazda Ltd, Ahmedabad, Gujarat” from 18th May 2009 to 27th June
2009, Objective was to study various design features involved in chemical
engineering equipments.

INDUSTRIAL VISITS

Industry Product
Nirma Limited, Mandali Salt, Toilet Soap
Nirma Limited, Savli Detergents
Meghmani Industries, Vatva Dyes
GACL, Baroda Alkali (Caustic)
IFFCO, Kalol Ammonia and Urea Plant

ACADEMIC SEMINARS

 Nano-Electro-Mechanical-Systems(NEMS)
Scope: NEMS hold promise to improve abilities to measure small
displacements and forces at a molecular scale, and are related to
nanotechnology and nanomechanics. Nanorobots, Nanocantilevers, Actuators
etc. are different examples of NEMS devices.

 E-waste Management Methods

Scope: e-waste is a loose description of surplus, obsolete, broken or discarded
electrical or electronic devices, which is very hazardous for environment, their
management involves 3R’s viz… Reuse, Reduce & Recycle.

 Clean Rooms
Scope: A cleanroom is an environment, typically used in manufacturing or
scientific research, that has a low level of environmental pollutants such as
dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors.

 Green Buildings
Scope: Green building is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which
buildings use resources energy, water, and materials while reducing building
impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle,
through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and
removal.
