Programme for micropropagation research and technology development
July 8, 2002 to September 28, 2007
| Completed Project
The main objectives of the project are (1) development of micropropagation protocols for newly identified priority species; (2) refinement, up-scaling, and evaluation of the process using bench-level protocols developed at other research institutes and universities; (3) germplasm preservation; (4) national facility for socio economic development for the resource-poor farmers/entrepreneurs; (5) ins
Ultrafiltration fouling control via environment responsive membranes from model solutions to industrial feed streams
July 1, 2002 to February 28, 2006
| Completed Project
The objective is to understand the nature and mechanism of membrane fouling during the ultrafiltration of multi-component feed streams. This would form the basis for the design of low fouling polymeric membranes capable of withstanding variations in feed composition including shock loads of foulants.
