a wider area with greater capacity to meet growing customer demand," said Dr. Karthik.
In response to a question, he

are product certification basically exports. This
is largely compulsory measure to
ensure the quality of products
from Bangladesh. We cover the
certification of quality in general. We are providing services in Bangladesh

identify the presence of harmful substances.

the effluent to remain on earth,"

solutions for effluent water

the disposal of hazardous
chemicals could be reduced," he added.
Through testing, we can identify the amount of hazardous chemicals in the effluent. If diagnosised
his presence, then we will minimize premiums and
stage of process materials, and so the end
result does not become harmful
