Details

The project aims to design an eco-efficient water recycling, filtering, and cooling system specifically for a shock absorbing pad manufacturing line. The current manufacturing process consumes a significant amount of water, leading to high operational costs and environmental impact. By developing a sustainable water management system, the project seeks to reduce water usage, minimize waste, and enhance the overall efficiency of the manufacturing line. The system should integrate seamlessly with existing operations, ensuring minimal disruption while maximizing resource conservation. Learners will apply principles of fluid dynamics, environmental engineering, and process optimization to create a viable solution. The project will involve researching current technologies, designing a prototype system, and evaluating its effectiveness through simulations or small-scale testing.

Deliverables

The deliverables for this project include a detailed design proposal for the water recycling, filtering, and cooling system, complete with schematics and technical specifications. Additionally, a report analyzing the potential environmental and economic benefits of the proposed system will be required. A prototype or simulation demonstrating the system's functionality and efficiency should also be developed. Finally, a presentation summarizing the project's findings and recommendations will be delivered to stakeholders.
