Bioremediation of drill cutting and oily sludge at oil installations of Cairn India Pty Ltd: Feasibility study

April 17, 2006 to
March 31, 2007
CEIL has been carried out hydrocarbon exploration in the Districts of Barmer and Jalore in north-western Rajasthan. The exploration and drilling operation generates wastes that are classified as hazardous due to presence of hydrocarbon compounds. These wastes comprise of drill cuttings, spent drilling fluid and oil contaminated wastes. TERI has deveoped a microbial consortium that can degrade different hydrocarbon compounds that contaminates the drill cutting. The process is an ecologically sound and invloves indegenous sludge eating bacteria.

Training Course on "Advanced Techniques in Mycorrhizal Research "

November 1, 2006 to
March 31, 2007
The main objective of the course is to impart hands-on training in research techniques on mycorrhizal research so that the participants can apply them in their research programmes. Therefore, besides demonstrating the techniques, participants should be encoraged to carry out the techniques/laboratory exercises themselves.

Specific objectives include:
1. Training on Basic techniques
2. Training on Applied techniques
3. Training on Advanced techniques
4. Promoting understanding on the relevance of mycorrhizal research in Indian context.
