The department has 4 laboratories:
- Chemical Engineering Lab
- Sugar Technology Lab
- Sustainable Environmental Lab
- Solid Waste Lab
These laboratories are run by the 3 technical staff namely Mr Satyadeo Beekhun (Principal Technician), Mr Deepak Reedoye (Technician) and Ms Pritima Unauth. They are supported by one technical assistant - Mr Harold Reid.
Chemical Engineering Laboratory
The Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics Laboratory, located at the ground floor of the Phase II Building of the University, contains most of the equipment related to chemical engineering. The main practicals carried out are related to thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, unit operations, combustion and incineration, and renewable energy technologies.
Air and water heat pump used for Thermodynamic practicals
Bench top cooling tower used for Heat Transfer practicals
Fluid bed heat transfer unit used for practicals in Unit Operations
Gaseous diffusion apparatus used for Mass Transfer practicals
Centrifugal pump used for lab practicals
Combustion unit used for lab practicals
Sugar Technology Laboratory
The Sugar Technology Laboratory, situated at the ground floor of the Phase II Building of the University, is used for practicals on sugar technology and bioenergy feedstock such ethanol and bagasse.
Saccharomat used for Sugar Technology practicals
Sustainable Environmental Laboratory
The Sustainable Environment Laboratory, located on the 6th floor of the Sir Edouard Lim Fat Engineering Tower, is used mainly for conducting practicals on wastewater.
COD reactor for Wastewater Engineering practicals
DR 2500 Spectrophotometer for nitrate and phosphate analyses
BOD incubator
Solid Waste Lab
This Solid Waste Engineering Laboratory, located at the basement of the Sir Edouard Lim Fat Engineering Tower, is used for conducting practicals on solid waste such as composting and anaerobic digestion analyses.
