Mecpro receives the
National Award for innovation
in Science and Technology
from the President
At MECPRO we underline
everything with the sheen of quality. With its in-house
Research and Development centre (recognised by the Government
of India), Mecpro has been able to develop several innovative
designs, processes and technologies in various areas.
Some of our major breakthroughs are as follows :
The vessels are
so designed that the rated capacity of the plant
is easily attained in practical operation.
Every effort has been made
to reduce to the minimum the energy consumption
of the plant.
The converter for the hydrogenation
reaction is designed for attaining any desired selectivity
in hydrogenation.
Continuous type of deodorisation
equipment is provided for the highest possible steam
economy, reduction of colour and reduction of odour.
Design and layout
of the blending and packing section in our plants
is such that manual labour is reduced to the minimum.
Electrolytic cells are designed
for low electricity consumption, thereby increasing
efficiency and reducing space requirements.
Lower stripping steam usage
translates to lower motive steam consumption by
the vacuum system.
Short residence time of the
oil at an elevated temperature in the prestripper
column ensures better oil quality.
The dripping zone is extended
to the end of the extractor to send less solvent
to the meal desolventiser.
The same water
flows in series from one condenser to another making
for lower water and power requirements.
Stirrers of the
desolventiser-toaster are carefully streamlined
to present minimum resistance.
Recirculation of
waste water reduces effluent and water wastage.
Air and solvent
purification reduces pollution and hexane loss.
Usage of Computer
Aided Designing (CAD) in plant development.
