BIOMASS GASIFIER

To explore renewable energy resources, the college has designed a 5KW biomass gasifier to generate electricity using a woody material Prosopis Juliflora which is available nearby areas. Biomass research is a dynamic research to the development, analysis and evaluation of bioenergy. Presently, the physics students are trained to operate the system. Initiatives are taken to utilize the power generated by the system. This is one of the major incubation centers for both basic and applied research. PEARL – A foundation for Educational Excellence Awards to higher education in India, honored the college by “Best Renewable Energy Implemented College” award.

President Thiru..S.Meenakshi Sundaram B.Sc., B.L., - Received the “Best Renewable Energy Implemented College award” for the year 2016 by PEARL.
