December 2004 Delivered the prestigious Meghmani Organic Ltd.
Memorial Lecture on the subject "Chemical
Engineering Serving Mankind" on 21 September 2002
at Ahmedabad Delivered the prestigious C.K. Murthy Memorial
lecture at the Annual Congress of IIChE at Calcutta,
December, 2000
The creation of knowledge and its effective
transfer to users is our cherished mission. We
are working in the areas of Multiphase reactors
particularly Trickle-Bed Reactor, Bubble/Slurry
bubble column reactors, Motionless mixers etc.
In this era of globalisation there is a growing
awareness that environmental protection and
economic development must go together.
Prof. Nigam is working on several promising
possibilities to develop a cleaner and greener
technology and energy efficient innovative
devices. The high impact and significance of
Prof. Nigam's work can be judged from the
extensive citations it has received in research
literature, research monographs, such as Perry's
Hand Book of Chemical Engineers and
textbooks. His students (graduate and
undergraduate) have won various national
awards such as CSIR young scientist award,
best paper award of IIChE and INAE
Innovative students Projects award (B.Tech).
Prof. Nigam is very actively involved in the
academia and industry interaction for the
energy conservation in Fertilizer industry. He
has proposed an innovative design of heat
exchanger based on novel concept of flow
inversion caused in secondary flows. The
proposed innovative device has potential for
the multi-functional applications in the process
industry such as, inline mixer, chemical reactors,
separation process, and cryogenic applications.
