Projects
Development and testing of low cost membrane filters from biomass ash for clean up of producer gas for gasifier-based power plants
March 31, 2003 to January 31, 2008
| Completed Project
The project proposes to develop membrane filters using biomass fly ash as the starting material for high temperatures particulate removal from producer gas for power-generation application. Biomass ash from gasification of rice husk, bagasse, and other available biomass sources will be characterized and selected for membrane filter preparation.
Strategies for enhancement of dispatches of fly ash from GEB coal-fired power plants
March 24, 2003 to September 13, 2004
| Completed Project
This project entails review of the current Government policy on Fly ash, suggest management strategies for enhanced and sustained dispatches of FA for GEB as a whole and to develop plant specific strategies for FA management for all coal-fired power stations of GEB
Scouting for natural alternatives
March 11, 2003 to April 30, 2007
| Completed Project
The main objectives are (1) to separate three chemotypes in mixed populations of Withania somnifera, (2) to study the polysaccharide content in various chemotypes of Withiania somnifera, (3) to assess the glycyrrhizin and flavonoid diversity in Glycyrrhiza glabra, (4) to evaluate the polysaccharide and sugar content in Glycyrrhiza glabra accessions.
