Facilitation Centre for Industrial Plasma Technologies (FCIPT), IPR

Facilitation Centre for Industrial Plasma Technologies (FCIPT) links industries with Institute for Plasma Research (IPR), Gandhinagar, India. The knowledge - base in plasma sciences and associated technologies is exploited to generate advanced and n chnologies is exploited to generate advanced and non conventional plasma based technologies for material processing and environmental remediation. IPR is an autonomous institute under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Govt. of India. It is exclusively devoted to basic research in plasma sciences and development of technological applications. The major thrust is in magnetic confinement fusion and plasma assisted material processing. FCIPT takes up development of plasma processing technologies from concept to commercialization and promotes awareness of technology through Technology transfer, Newsletters and Direct marketing. FCIPT was setup in 1997 to promote the commercial exploitation of plasma technologies through development, incubation, demonstration, manufacturing and transfer. The centre has process development and instrumentation laboratories, job shop, material characterization and manufacturing facilities. FCIPT has a multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers with expertise in plasma physics, plasma chemistry, metallurgy, material science, power electronics and instrumentation. All the above activities under a single roof provide an ideal environment for the centre to offer a complete package of industrial technologies and facilitation services to industries interested in the adoption of indigenous technologies. To perform excellent research on plasma based technologies that not only satisfies customer needs by providing innovative solutions through quality research and advanced technology, but also contributes to the fulfillment of the Organization's education, research and public service commitments through the involvement of the scientific community, students, faculty and external partners. And to disseminate technical knowledge based on our basic and applied research to new generations of scientists, engineers and for the general good for our nation. FCIPT's vision is to become the best Plasma Research Center in India in a time frame of five years by, developing Plasma Based Technologies that address national needs and initiating their transfer to other organizations, and commercializing these technologies for the use in the industrial sector and ensuring customer success by delivering affordable solutions, leading-edge technologies, and excellent service. ...view more
