These pilot scale ultrafiltration and

nanofiltration units are designed, fabricated
and installed by Prof. De and his group in the
pilot plant of M/s, PhytoBiotech Pvt. Ltd.,
Kolkata, where commercial production has
started.

(2) Design of pilot unit for ceramic membrane filtration

The pilot scale ceramic membrane filtration unit is

designed, fabricated and supplied to Central Glass and
