Department Profile
The Department of Oil Technology is the oldest department of HBTU (Formerly HBTI) Kanpur, established in 1921. The department offers B.Tech., M.Tech. and Ph.D. programmes. The B.Tech. programme has been accredited by NBA up to 2025. Since its inception in 1921, the Department has made great strides in the past. The department has highly qualified faculty having Ph.D. degrees with good number of research publications in National and International journals of high repute. The faculty of the department had been frequently visiting abroad to present their research work in International Conferences. The department also maintains a close liaison with other National and International institutions & industries, and has accomplished several research and development projects in collaboration with them. Further, the department has successfully completed a number o f research projects sponsored by National funding agencies viz. AICTE, DST, CSIR, UPCST etc. The department had successfully completed a prestigious Indo-Canadian partnership project in collaboration with University of Guelph, Canada. Besides this, Centre of Excellence on “Applied Research Training and Education in Lipid Science” has been established in the department under TEQIP-II (World Bank Project) in which a new state-of-the-art laboratory named, Advanced Surfactant Laboratory has been established. This laboratory is equipped with good number of modern sophisticated instruments viz. UV- Visible, FT-IR spectrophotometer, GC-MS, Atomic Bomb Calorimeter, DSC, TGA, Glossmeter, Safety Analyzer, Multi-fuel Analyzer, Surface Tensiometer, Rheometer etc. Apart from this, Knowledge Resource Center has also been established under Center of Excellence in which 20 desktop computers equipped with different software viz. MATLAB, Design Expert, STATISTICA and Origin Pro for strengthening R& D activities have been set-up. About five dozens of new books on thematic area of the Center are also available for the users. The Department has also signed MoU with a number of industries viz. M/s Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd., Mumbai, M/s FARELABS, Gurgaon, M/s Mineral Oil Corporation, Kanpur and M/s MILINDIA Ltd., Noida. The financial assistance/ scholarship is available to undergraduate students of Oil Technology from M/s Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd., Mumbai and M/s MILINDIA Ltd., Noida. The postgraduate students of Oil Technology are also having a provision of financial assistance / scholarship from M/s FARELABS, Gurgaon. The scenario of placement of students of the department is excellent, as almost all students get jobs through campus placement in the organizations of high repute. Besides, this department is the birth place of Oil Technologists’ Association of India (OTAI). The zonal and head offices of OTAI are also functioning effectively in the department.
