Jalandhar has transferred the right of
manufacturing of test rigs (for
characterizing filter media used for
pollution control in industries) to Kanwal
Enterprises, Gurgaon, Hr.). These test rigs,
viz. a viz. pulse-jet filtration test rig and
industrial filtration rigs have been
developed through a project supported by
Instrumentation Development Programme
(IDP) under Department of Science &
Technology (DST), Government of India.

control activities in many ways such as:
i. The apparatus will develop better
understanding of the way in which various
process parameters determine filtration
performance.
ii. It will help in assessment of
performance of existing material as well as
development of new material.
iii. The designed apparatus will help in
proper adjustment of operating parameters.
