Dr. Sundergopal Sridhar is a Chemical Engineer from University College of Technology, Osmania University, Hyderabad. He has worked as a Scientist in the area of Membrane Separation Processes at the CSIR- IICT, Hyderabad for the past 20 years. During this time, he has developed technologies for chemical industries and contributed to rural welfare through water purification projects and academic development via HRD and laboratory development in schools and colleges.
Major highlights of his career include:
- Commissioning of several membrane pilot plants based on Electrodialysis, Nanofiltration and Gas Permeation of capacities varying from 500–5000 L/h to facilitate solvent recovery, effluent treatment and gas purification in pharmaceutical, steel, textile and petrochemical industries.
- Design and installation of 15 model defluoridation plants of 600- 4000 L/h capacity and 25 highly compact low cost systems of 100-200 L/h capacity for purification of ground water for more than 2 Million population affected by fluorosis, gastroenteritis, jaundice, typhoid and other water borne diseases in villages of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
- Established a free water camp based on compact system design on Uppal Road in Hyderabad city, providing healthy water to the urban population free of cost since April 2016. Similar camps at All India Industrial Exhibition in Jan-Feb, 2017 & 2018 and CSIR Science Exhibition have provided free drinking water to a population of 3 Lakh people including school children.
