Various workshops of the International
Center for Chemical Sciences comprised on different technical
departments, maintenance units, and manufacturing plants.
These sections are serving the ICCS institutions day and
night and are helping in the smooth running of research
and development activities. Some of the major technical
department are described below:
Engineering Department.
As the institute is running a large number of sophisticated
and modern electronic instruments, which are the necessary
part of the chemical analysis, there is a need of regular
and quick service of these sophisticated instruments. The
engineering department in involved in the service, maintanence
and repair of these electronic instruments.
Liquid Nitrogen
Plant
The Liquid nitrogen plant (Linit-10) installed at the center
is modern and modular designed equipment using cryogenics
as refrigerating source. As no external refrigeration is
used, air itself acts as refregent. The liquid nitrogen
generated by the plant contains upto 0.3 % oxygen. The dispencing
pressure of liquid nitrogen is between 1.0 to 3.0 Kg/cm3
this liquid nitrogen is used by various researchers of the
institute.
Liquid Helium Plant
The liquid Helium plant (TCF-20) is installed at the center
as aprt of the workshop. It has a production capacity of
6 lit/hr. Its main purpose is to produce liqid Helium for
various nuclearmagnetic resonance instruments.
Distilation Assembly
Distilation assembly has been installed in the workshop
of the institute. This unit is used to produce different
commercial solvents and it distills 50 L to 200 L capacity.
The purity of the end product is 99% which are used in chemical
and biochemical experimentations.
Glass Blowing Workshop
The ICCS has a modern glassware manufacturing unit which
manufacture and repair various types of common and specialized
glassware for scientific experimentation. This includes
ground-glass joint and condensing glassware.
