BHEL taps into IIT's R&D expertise for desalination

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited’s (BHEL) two units — Tiruchi and Ranipet — have collaborated Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) for joint research and the focus would be sea water desalination and pollutant control systems which would be a great boon for the public and society at large, according to BHEL’s senior official.

O P Bhutani, director (engineering, research and director), said aimed to strengthen research and other collaborative projects with the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM). He added that research with academic institutions has been identified as a critical success factor by BHEL.

"This collaborative research with academic institutions would go a long way in meeting the growing technology needs which were becoming increasingly unavailable through technical collaborations with other companies," he added.

BHEL is continuously benchmarking its wide range of products to identify technology gaps and focus its R&D towards finding solutions to fill the gaps to ensure that its products are of the best global standards, he added.
