| Project Title: | Bio-methanation of Solid Waste |
| Supervisors: | Prof. G. B. Daware and Prof. V. V. Mahajani |
| Orientations: | Process flow of Bio-methanation plant, hands-on anaerobic digester, Gas chromatography |
2009 - 2011
Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education
| College: | H. R. Patel Arts and Science Junior College, Shirpur |
August 2016 - August 2017
The main focus of this project was on BS-IV solution. Exhaust gases from internal combustion engine includes NOx, HC’s, CO, and Particulate Matter (PM) which are hazardous in nature. In this project we focused on the NOx emission, for which we chose Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) as the after-treatment solution. The work included the kinetic study of the SCR. The rate determining step for SCR was found to be a Chemical reaction. We also studied the effect of different length of Vanadia catalyst on the NOx conversion and NH3 slip numbers.
July 2014 - June 2015
Bio-methanation of solid waste includes production of bio-gas from organic waste. Aim was to increase the formation of methane gas using microbes found in cow-dung. This gas was then further used for domestic purpose, electricity generation, etc.
To increase the farm yield in less amount of nutrients with less investment
To reduce the water pollution caused due to the immersion of idols during festivals
- 2019 Q3 Technical function Excellence Award winner as a part of ALD team
- Recognised for supporting BS-VI projects as Catalyst Technologists
- Certified Internal Auditor of IATF 16949:2016

I am very happy to write this recommendation letter for Miss. Kanchan Patil to whom I have known for the last few years. After passing BE in first class with distinction from University of Pune, she joined our department as a postgraduate student (MTech Chemical Engineering) in July 2015. As a masters student I taught her number of courses during which I observed her to be a sincere & social person. She excelled in her academics here and was a ranked student in her class. She was prompt in doing all her homework and tutorials in time. Kanchan has a capability to plan a target oriented research on her own and execute the same that can be seen from her industrial experience for the past 2+ years. She has given several research seminars during her graduate studies here and has participated in various workshops and conferences where she has won awards for poster presentations. Currently she is working with a multinational company ‘Cummins Technologies India Pvt. Ltd’ Pune (India) as a Chemical Systems Engineer. She is a hardworking student with significant capabilities, good communication skills and ability to work in a team. With her qualifications and accomplishments, I strongly recommend her candidature.

I have known Miss Kanchan P Patil for the last 4 years. I taught her several courses like Mathematical Methods in Chemical Engineering, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology during her MTech and was her project guide for her MTech dissertation where I observed her to be a sincere & intelligent student. I had an opportunity to test her good experimental skills during her MTech practicals & project that prompted me to recommend her. She is highly dedicated to research. She has a capability to plan a target-oriented research on her own & execute the same that can be seen from her industrial experience for past 2+ years. She has given several research seminars during M. Tech. and has participated in various workshops and conferences where she has won awards for poster presentations. Currently she is working with a multinational company ‘Cummins Technologies India Pvt. Ltd’ Pune (India) as a Chemical Systems Engineer in Cummins Emission Solutions business unit. She is a hardworking student with good communication and soft skills, pleasant manners & ability to work in a team. With her qualifications and accomplishments, I have no hesitation in recommending her candidature.

I & Kanchan worked together during my Cummins tenure, where she was reporting to me. Kanchan had started working as intern with me. She has basic understanding of chemical engineering and knows how to apply in application field. She has grasped the simulation skills and completed her MTech project. Her grasping power and keen to learn new technology was amazing. She has very good communication skills which helped her to gain global project. She used to conduct meeting with customer and provide daily basis update which helped her to meet their expectations. I wish her best luck for future
