A mineral polymerization technology has been

developed for effective utilization of different
materials and waste resources lto address the
issues of environmental pollution and build
products like building bricks, blocks, tiles etc.
for construction industry.

Hydraulic transportation is an environment

friendly, bulk and distant means of
transportation system and is widely adapted
by industries for transportation of minerals,
ores and industrial wastes in powder form. It
enables energy saving, safe, silent,
ecologically safe, reliable mode of transport
and easy operation and maintenance.
The developed gasifier reactor with length to
diameter ratio of 10 has been adopted to
improvise the mixed flow and plug flow
reactor characteristics. This will ensure full
suspension of powdery biomass/coal in a
vigorous radial mixing condition in the reactor
and achieve high intensity reaction and
gasification which are essential for entrained
flow gasification.

Wetland technology provides a sustainable

wastewater treatment option for various kinds
of polluted wastewater including municipal
wastewater.

This technique helps in municipal sewage

treatment, nallah water treatment,
conservation of water bodies by avoiding
wastewater disposal and commercial or public
utility spaces (airports, railway stations,
complexes)
