MUMBAI: Indian industry should take advantange of the country's involvement in prestigious international projects like ITER and work with top scientific institutions to meet the huge demand for ultra vacuum systems, S Banerjee, Director of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre said here on Wednesday.
As India is part of the international mega projects, "our industries should take up manufacturing of large vacuum systems and also special ceramic materials required for ultra vacuum technology which are applicable in atomic energy and space industries," Banerjee said.
He was inaugurating the three-day International symposium on `Vacuum Science and Technology' here.
Banerjee said although Indian institutes like Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research have developed large vacuum systems, first diffusion pump several decades ago, Indian industries have yet to catch up and the international mega projects could give them challenging opportunities.
Material processing in vacuum is another major area and the Indian industries has to take up manufacture of vacuum measurement technology and instruments, he said.
Vacuum technology is also used in large simulation chambers to mimic the space and it is important that industries and scientists work closely to transfer the technologies for the international mega projects.
The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and the International linear collider -- Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the indigenous biggest accelerators INDUS-I and Indus-II all require ultra vacuum systems.
