Current potential research project

Design of an Intelligent System to Separate Solid Contaminants from Composts Prior to Packaging

  1. Supervisors: A. Prof. Kazem Abhary
  2. Area: Mechanical and manufacturing Engineering
  3. Abstract: Composts are produced by some recycle industries from curbside green waste. A major problem internationally faced by this industry is the over-sized solid contaminants (rocks, glass, plastics etc) in the packaged composts. The aim of this project is to design a system (process & hardware) to remove these contaminants from the product. The outcome of this project will be of immediate international interest. This is a Green design for manufacture project. Some preliminary work has already been done in this area in the school.
