Mohali firm SPRAY's biomass to bioenergy pitch draws global interest
SPRAY Engineering Devices Limited (SEDL), a Mohali-based company, drew international attention at RegaTec 2025 in Weimar, Germany, with its presentation on biomass-based energy solutions and green chemicals. The event, held on May 20 and 21, spotlighted innovations in renewable energy, with SEDL positioning its Made-in-India technology as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Vivek Verma, managing director of SEDL, presented the company's approach to leveraging Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) systems for converting biomass into bioenergy and green chemicals. Titled Biomass to Bioenergy & Green Chemicals, the presentation proposed a shift away from biomass burning — long criticised for contributing to North India's air pollution crises — towards systems that support second-generation ethanol production and broader carbon reduction targets. Verma was joined by researchers Dr Kaleem Ahmad and Dr Malli, who shared technical insights during the session. The team outlined how MVR-based heat recycling could be applied in areas like jaggery production and water processing, with potential benefits for both rural industries and larger-scale biofuel initiatives. The technology, developed and manufactured in India, received strong interest from European and global stakeholders. Attendees included industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers exploring alternatives to the hydrocarbon value chain
