Research Engineer, Department of Chemical Engineering, South Gujarat University, Surat, India 2004

Conducted and participated in a research study for an integrated approach for the removal of Bio-recalcitrant and Phenolic compound through Biodegradation and Photo catalysis. Specially used in chemical industry for effluent treatment plant to remove phenolic and bio-recalcitrant compounds from the solution which not treated by biodegradation and simple effluent process. Based on the research study, first treatment is passed through photo-catalysts, which reduced the non-biodegradation compounds and then passed to biodegradation system to adjust the pH of particular solution.
