Development of technologies for residue up-gradation and maximisation of distillates, product quality improvement, technologies for HVI, VHI and EHVI/ LOBS and Bitumen manufacture, technologies for pollution abatement needs attention in Petroleum Industries.
Establishment of petrochemical technology development centre, creation of a centre of excellence for petrochemicals R&D and a specialised centre for performance plastics are felt to be of immediate importance in Petrochemicals including Organic Chemicals area.
Technology shift towards more efficient membrane cell technology and R&D focus on reduction in raw-material & utility consumption and energy savings, improvement in product quality and reduction in the volume of effluents are to be addressed in Heavy Chemicals area.
Need to upgrade process/technology leading to improved raw material & energy efficiencies, improved process control, reduced operating & maintenance costs and improved pollution control measures are emphasised to be crucial in Fertilizers area.
Technology up-gradation for catalytic hydrogenation, direct amination, better conversion in diazo/coupling reactions, reverse osmosis/salt reduction, microprocessor-based automatic process control systems, better recovery systems for energy, recycling of solvents & acids and minimisation of pollution load and use of natural dyes needs immediate attention, in the area of Dyes & Intermediates.
Development of technologies for pheromones & antifeedants etc, establishing an integrated pest management facility & pesticide residue analysis centre, proper attention towards safe and judicious use, better pollution control measures, computer-assisted molecular modelling, development of bio-pesticides suitable for Indian climatic & soil conditions are stressed to be important for Pesticides & Growth Regulators.
Development of indigenous technology and production facilities for world-class titanium dioxide plant, absorption of imported technology, castor oil-based products, eco-friendly products such as water-based, high solids & powder coatings are areas which need attention in the area of Surface Coatings.
The petrochemical detergent intermediate linear alkyl benzene (LAB) to move towards fully biodegradable LAB, up-gradation of formulation sector, R&D focus on the development of AOS, nonconventional electrochemical sources, sulphonation, bio-surfactants are envisioned to be given importance in Surfactants sector.
