Pilot Plants

ARCI is engaged in development of high performance materials and processes for niche market; demonstration of technologies at prototype scale; and transfer of technologies to the Indian industry. In order to achieve the above, ARCI has been taking up technologies while they are in their embryonic stages from laboratories/institutions of CIS countries or Indian laboratories, and jointly developing them to the levels of pilot plants/demonstration centres. The pilot plants/demonstration centres are then primarily utilised to sensitise the industry to the advantages and cost-effectiveness of the technology according to macro economic conditions and thereby aid in the smooth transfer of such technologies to the industries. Such conscious efforts to direct research to fuel growth and evolution have resulted in development of technologies, which are ready for adoption.
