D war Begun

A step before design the system configuration would be trial of the media to find d optimum configuration to extend the retention time.

Hence, there's an arrangement with lab technician at 10:40pm at Mechanical Lab.

The trimming method wasn't easy as the tyres consist of rubber and steel bar in between. Its size is not suitable for super cutter.

Hence it was cut manually.

Kinda shock that there're so much steel bar in it.

D cutting process wasn't nice.

Alot smoke generated as the tyres heat up and burned.

The debris flew and burned my skin at 1st as i didn't have experience handle the cutter.

My pity CK shoes @_*

D process was terrible but i didn't give up as it's my dream. I havta b patient as this is the 1st challenge and I'll grow and face another challenge soon which is the design part.

Although I'm busy with Greencamp I'll follow my schedule as promised.

D situation after cutting @_*

filled with smoke and burned tyres debris.

Abstract

Welcome to xwaste blog.



The reason it's known as xwaste is because the waste is reduced to 0% as much as possible in terms of wastewater quality and solid waste such as plastics bags & used tyres. While treat the wastewater via solid waste, there's renewable energy generated when the microorganism react with the wastewater producing methane gas.

Project Vision:
A new invention that would treat wastewater while solve worldwide issues such as plastic bags and used tyres and open up a new gateway for renewable energy source.

Project Duration (estimation):
Model produced by September. Project will be continue to next stage aiming industrial sectors (esp Palm Oil Mill industry) after 1st stage project (domestic waste) completed.

Project Funding (estimation):
RM2k-3k. Currently funding of RM400 from University Tenaga Nasional. Predicting RM10k funding next year from e-source after proposal and trial model submission.

Partnership is welcome.

Background professional support:
Dr. Chua Kok Hua from University Tenaga Nasional.
aiming 3 more professional from different background ranging from business, media and environment department (will be announce once got their full support)

Brief Project Schedule:
July: used tyres collected to design xwaste internal configuration (4x 12inch tyres collected on 19th July 2009).

August: Plastic bags campaign (collect plastic bags at a small scale (uniten) to study the public reaction before proceed with bigger scale involving Jusco/Giant).

September onward: Analyse results + trial another model if possible for better configuration.
