*SWOC analysis* is a strategic planning technique for examining the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Challenges that any project may face. It entails defining the project's goal and determining the internal and external variables that will help or hinder the goal's achievement. Any research project's aim is to move from the lab to the real world. The SWOC analysis of DCP and its application as biosorbent is thoroughly scrutinized to know the feasibility of scaling up in indus-
