NIT Andhra Pradesh Invites Researchers in Bio Valorisation for Value-added Products Production

NIT Andhra Pradesh is inviting researchers and faculty members to research in Bio Valorisation for the production of value-added products. 

In order to promote the research in Bio Valorisation, NIT Andhra Pradesh is hosting a five-day online faculty development programme on “Bio Valorisation: Trend and Prospects of Value-Added Products” from January 3-7, 2022.

Speaking at the inaugural event, C.S.P. Rao, Director, NIT Andhra Pradesh, said that most of the waste is produced from domestic, agricultural and industrial practices. The management and treatment of a large volume of waste is a very complicated task. 

“The biological treatment of waste with micro-organisms is promising for the treatment of the wide spectrum of waste in an economical method. The treatment process can be coupled to generate energy and by utilizing the biovalorisation value-added products can be produced from waste products”, Rao added.
