Laboratory

Description:
The Environmental Engineering Laboratory provides a comprehensive platform for students to analyze and evaluate the quality of water and wastewater through experimental investigation. The laboratory aims to enhance the understanding of environmental concepts, pollution control methods, and sustainable engineering practices in alignment with academic and industry standards. Students are trained to determine key water and wastewater quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, chlorides, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and solids. Eco Sustainability Club "Shaashwat" is formed under this lab.

Features:
The laboratory is well-equipped with instruments such as BOD incubator, COD digester, turbidity meter, pH meter, flocculator, DO analyser, flame photometer and hot air oven, facilitating testing as per BIS and CPCB standards.
