Workshop on Advanced Waste Water Treatment at Haringhata Campus on 24th, 25th February 2020
Workshop on Advanced Waste Water Treatment – the Microbial Approach
Fourth Workshop on “Advanced Waste Water Treatment – the Microbial Approach” will be organized at the Haringhata Campus of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), WB on 24th and 25th February, 2020.
The MHRD funded project Centre of Excellence in Environmental Technology & Management (COEETM) is being undertaken in Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, West Bengal (MAKAUT), WB under the FAST (Frontier Areas of Science & Technology) scheme. It will organize the fourth Workshop on “Advanced Waste Water Treatment – the Microbial Approach” on February 24 and 25, 2020 at the Haringhata campus of the University. The Workshop will be conducted with special emphasis on Environmental Protection through microbial intervention.
The last date for submitting applications is 7 th February, 2020.
The proposed Workshop will incorporate the following steps:
1. Identification of the problem that necessitates the introduction of innovative microbial technology. 2. Approach to the potential solution of the problem identified in Step 1 above through candidate isolation and system development.
3. Microbial Identification: (a) Isolate – 16SrDNA and Draft Genome (b) Community Analysis
4. Process Optimization
5. Case Studies involving Industrial Processes
The resource persons for the Workshop, drawn from both industry and academia, will be as follows:
1. Mr Nandan Prabhune – Technology and Innovation Group of Thermax Limited for Water and Waste Slutions
2. Dr Kamlesh Jangid – National Centre for Microbial Resource, National Centre for Cell Science, Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India.
