Its internships are listed on the AICTE Internship Portal, where students apply with their college details. The listing names Maharashtra as the place of work. Some projects may involve working at more than one Army location; check the listing for details.
Internship Details
Existing solutions are bulky, power dependent or limited in the contaminants they address. Select a commercially available nano enabled adsorbent, assemble a bench scale gravity fed prototype from readily available components, and evaluate it for flow rate, turbidity, removal of one or two selected contaminants, cartridge integrity, leaching and repeat cycle performance against a baseline commercial filter. The output will be a working prototype, a performance dataset and a project report.
Roles and Responsibilities
The listing describes the work like this:
College of Military Engineering is developing a compact, gravity fed water purification unit incorporating a nano technology enabled treatment cartridge. Requirements Material Selection: define source water conditions, select one or two priority contaminants e.g. fluoride, arsenic, a commercial base filter and one commercial nano enabled adsorbent. Material Characterisation: record supplier data and carry out essential characterisation particle size, pH, moisture SEMFTIR where available.
Prototype Assembly: sealed modular gravity fed unit with prefilter, base filter, replaceable contained cartridge and collection vessel leak checks and blank runs. Laboratory Evaluation: flow rate at defined gravity head, turbidity, removal of selected contaminants, integrity and leaching over at least five cycles, compared with a baseline filter. Microbial Indicator Testing: only through a qualified laboratory otherwise documented as a validation gap with a recommended test plan.
