One Day Hands-on Training on Biofuel Production and Characterization 2019

Energy sources depletion and Environmental stringencies have led to the exploration of Alternate fuels. Biodiesel is a safe alternative fuel to replace traditional petroleum diesel possessing high-lubricity, clean-burning ability and the only alternative fuel for use in existing, unmodified diesel engines without any retrofits. A Biodiesel facility at International Research Centre, Sathyabama Institute of Science & Technology invites interested candidates to make best use of the opportunity to understand the underlying principles in biodiesel production and characterization.
