- Design of centrifugal/vertical turbine pumps in compliance with National and International standards using advanced CAD tools like CFD, Inverse Design and FEA analysis. Improvement of pump efficiency by optimizing the impeller blades using Inverse Design software. Low Life Cycle Cost (LLCC) pumps are designed and developed to save huge operational and maintenance cost and for longer MTBF. Special pumps for nuclear application like primary and secondary cycle, canned motor pumps. For power application, circulating water pumps, condensate extraction pumps are also designed and developed.

- Design and Engineering of hydro turbines for small hydro including Francis, Kaplan and Pelton with horizontal as well as vertical orientation.
- Design of Pump As Turbine (PAT) for micro hydro range from 5kW to 100 kW power.
- Design and development of cross flow turbine for microhydro.

- Prediction of cavitation of pumps, Particle tracking suspended in the liquid. Sump (pump intake) air entrainment and formation of silt can be predicted using CFD technique.
|
| |
|
- Sump is designed based on ANSI HIS standards and verified using CFD analysis to find if there is any vortex formations, air entrainment to reduce swirl angle at the pump inlet and overall optimization of sump structure thereby saving significant amount of time and cost. The results can be validated with experimental results.

|
- Physical study of scaled down model sump is carried out at our works to study if there is any vortex formation, swirl angle and flow optimization by modifying necessary changes in the intake structure.

- Static/Dynamic/Seismic/Shock/Fatigue/Thermal/Coupled-Field analysis for pumps, valves, hydro turbines and corresponding system components.
|
| |
|
- The pump discharge mains are protected from the surge pressure due to sudden stop of pump or during power failure. The system is analysed and protected using suitable surge protection devices like air vessel, surge tanks, air valves etc by identifying suitable locations in the discharge mains.
