Patents Granted
"Process for Dyeing of Textile Materials using Supercritical Fluid" (Indian Patent no. 298213, USA Patent No. US 11015289 B2): an improved, sustainable, single step Dyeing as well as Finishing technology for man-made, natural & blended textiles. Allows use of traditional dyes, improves dye utilization, easy scale-up & less than half dyeing time than prior-art SC CO2 processes. Avoids reduction clearing, two bath dyeing for blends. Much less use of auxiliary chemicals, No salt, reducing the water, energy load resulting in minimum environmental impact.

"A Control Valve having a Hollow Piston for Controlling Flow of Fluid" (USA Patent no. US 10883612 B2): Innovative design of control valve suitable for high pressure drop & dirty service applications; requiring low force for achieving leak-tight shutoff; also enabling smooth, non-jerky operation over entire stroke length for normal to precision control of fluid flow.
"System for Continuous Feeding & Discharging of Solid Material to & from a Vessel Operating under High Pressure" (USA Patent no. US 10328406 B2, European Patent no. EP 3242741 B1): Innovative system for making SCF Extraction from batch into continuous process to (i) reduce loss of Solvent during depressurization of Extractors between batches (ii) minimizes non-productive time of De-pressurization, Feed Change & Re-pressurization (iii) Avoids loss of extraction efficiency due to depletion of the effective height of feed bed in batch process.
