About Me
- More than 32 years of research experience in the area of adsorption and membrane based separation processes for hydrocarbon industry
- Actively involved in developing cutting edge adsorption technologies addressed at industrial separations of strategic importance (helium purification by PSA) and environment issues of clean fuels development (desulphurization of gasoline and diesel ) and global warming (CO2 recovery from power plant flue gas by PSA)
- Managed several international collaborative research projects such as adsorptive desulfurization of gasoline sponsored by Indo-Norwegian Programme for Institutional Co-operation (INPIC); adsorptive desulfurization of diesel and CO2 recovery from power plant flue gas sponsored by Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and biogas up-gradation by VSA under Indo-Australia Strategic Research fund
Research Interest
- Adsorptive desulfurization of transportation fuels
- Pressure vacuum swing adsorption (PVSA) process development for CO2 capture from power plant flue gas
- Process development for biogas and landfill gas up-gradation by PVSA
- Development of high temperature CO2 sorbents relevant to pre-combustion CO2 capture
- Adsorbed natural gas
- Hydrogen recovery from refinery off gases
- Adsorption based process development for light olefin-paraffin separation
- Efficient air separation
Award and Honors
- Co-recipient of silver medal at All India Industrial Exhibition at Hyderabad in 1986 on the work entitled: Dearomatisation of kerosene streams by using liquid surfactant membranes
- Awarded Indian National Science Academy Fellowship in the year 1998 for three months to work at University of Kaiserlautern, Germany
