products & standardization.
(B) SPONSORED BY CENTRAL WOOL
DEVELOPMENT BOARD
(vi) To develop textiles effluent
treatment system for power
generation
Objectives :
= To standardize anaerobic digestion
system using wool textile effluents for
the production of methane and develop
methods for methane capture.
= To introduce and implement laboratory
scale results at the plant level for the
generation of methane.
= Utilization of the methane for power
generation to suit the specific
recurrences of the individual units.
(vii) Upgradation of Indian wool by
stretching and Setting means
for value addition and use
in apparel purpose.
Objectives :
= To provide a process and apparatus
for stretching of Indian wool to reduce
their diameter, increase their length,
modify their degree of luster and
make them apparel grade wool.
(viii) Design & Development of
high-end fabrics using yarn
made of speciality wool fibre
and Eri-silk.
Objectives
= Collection of data related to quality
and quantity of pashmina, Angora
and staple silk available in the country
and also data related to physical
properties and prediction of count
finest possible which can be spun
using these fibres.
= Development of finest possible yarn
with different compositions of these
fibres.
= Optimizing the blend composition of
these fibres in the yarn for earmarked
products.
= Development of finest fabrics using
(uniblend and homogenous blend for
earmarked products).
= Optimizing the parameters of the
earmarked products.
= Optimizing the process (spinning,
weaving & processing) parameters
for specific elite products to be
developed.

long staple fibre at affordable cost.
= Increase the efficiency and accuracy
of single fibre length measurement
procedure.
= Measure both individual length and
length distributions.
(x) Design and Development of
an Instrument to Determine/
Characterize Medullation Type
