Preface
The journey of cooperation between industry and educational institute has taken different forms
at different times. Historically, it started with simple interaction and gradually evolved to very
close partnership overtime. There has been a wide variety of interactions practiced among
industries and institutes which includes problem solving, curriculum development, study visits,
scholarships, and apprenticeship training and incubation center. However, until the time that the
concept of public private partnership has evolved, industry, has, by far, not been involved in
taking sustainable financial, technical and operational risks in the design, financing and building
and operation of educational projects. Therefore, public private partnership has been regarded as
a natural progression of relationship from interaction elevated to structural partnership where the
private sector assumes substantial operational risks in the design and implementation of
educational projects.
The need for Industry Academic Partnership for sustainable development of technical and
vocational education training. The industry institute interaction Cell for Sardar Patel College of
Engineering came into being in February 2013.A total budget of 40 L has been allotted for
Industry Institute interaction. Total expenditure Rs. 10, 00. 000 (14-15), Rs.13, 62,000 (13-14)
and 4,23, 000 (12-13) a total of around 18 L. A total of Rs. 6, 90,000 (14-15) and Rs. 7,18,000
was spent on short term courses in the year 13-14 and about Rs 3,00,00 (14-15) and Rs. 2,
10,000 on academic networking with various institutes. Around Rs. 60,000 (14-15) and 2, 10,000
(12-14) was spent on placement activities whereas Rs. 1, 70,000 on academic programme with
industry. Rs. 55,000 on UG undertaking training with industries and 76,000 on other
miscellaneous activities in the regime of III Cell. The major activities taken up by the college
were as follows
◦ Industry Institute Meets
◦ Guest lectures from personnel in industry

Ongoing Projects with Institute of Chemical Technology
i. Students are working on SIX ONGOING PROJECTS under innovation networking
under TEQIP with ICT
P01: Micro-channel reactors for highly pressurized and exothermic reactions
Students:
Krunal Chaudhari - T.E. Electrical
Vaibhav Bhosale - T.E. Electrical
This project involves the use of newly developed Micro-channel reactors for chemical reactions
which have lower volume of byproducts produced. The electrical aspects in these reactors
include the automatic variation of heat given to the reactor through an electric coil which is
controlled by a temperature sensor. These electrical alterations are first time introduced in the
chemical reactors.
P02: Bio-sensors for detection of pesticides in water
Students:
Krunal Chaudhari - T.E. Electrical
Rahul Kamath - T.E. Electrical
A superficial engraving on a plastic sheet coated with a conductor and some enzymes serves as
an electrode or probe which can be used to detect the presence pesticides in the water. In the
villages, the water is sometimes polluted by the pesticides sprayed in the farm. This type of a
sensor will be of great use in such places to at least test whether the water is potable or not. Its
applications can be further extended to use in industries also.
P03: Microwave assisted micro-reactor systems
Students:

This project involves the use of newly developed Micro-channel reactors for chemical reactions
which have lower volume of byproducts produced. The electrical aspects in these reactors
include the automatic variation of heat given to the reactor which is controlled by a temperature
sensor. These electrical alterations are first time introduced in the chemical reactors. The heat is
given by the use of specially designed microwave waveguide which is very much efficient as
compared to electrical heating.
P04: Microwave Reactors
Students:
Rahul Kamath - T.E. Electrical
Prakhar Mehta - T.E. Electrical
Pratik Hirani - T.E. Electrical
Harsh Gosar - T.E. Electrical
This project involves the use of microwaves as a source of heat in a chemical reaction. The
present microwave ovens which are used by modification as rectors have 70% of losses. The
main motive is to improve the efficiency of the reactor. This idea can further be extended to
designing of efficient microwave ovens for kitchen use.
P07: Pyrolysis system for conversion of plastic waste to useful chemicals
Students:
Prasad Hadawale - T.E. Electrical
Nayan Bagale - T.E. Electrical
Jay Kshirsagar - T.E. Electrical
16 | P a g e
This project involves the conversion of plastic into useful chemicals. This is a very needed and
useful project as the use of plastic is increasing day by day due to which the amount of plastic
waste is also increasing.
P09: Laboratory scale inexpensive gas chromatograph
A gas chromatograph is a very important device used for the separation of gases. A gas
chromatograph available in the market is very costly. So this project aims at creating an
inexpensive chromatograph so that it can be afforded by many.
