Project Overview

(A)Lab scale prototype of technology has been designed and developed which includes 100 L reactor, 150 L sedimentation tank, 100 L sand filter, 750 L feed tank, 750 L treated water tank. (B)Comparative LCA analysis of EC with adsorption technique has also been performed and found EC has very less environmental impacts than other existing technologies. (C)The catalytic property of the spent material for enriching valuables in pyrolysis oil has been tested.

Achievements

Scale up to 100 L and 500 L system has been completed and evaluated. The scale-up design, fabrication and installation for 1000 L reactor system has been completed. The plant has been installed at Govt. school, Village-Kunjabhadur- Roorkee.
