Redesign of plastic recycling machine with a sustainable approach and study of its applications with linear programming.

Abstract

El objetivo principal de este proyecto es, mediante los conocimiento aprendidos en la asignatura de 'Sustainable Engineering Practice and Design' (OENG 1118), rediseñar un planta de reciclaje de plástico compuesta de varias maquinas, y sustituirla por una sola maquina compacta capaz de conseguir los mismos resultados. Tras esta primera etapa, se llevara acabo un estudio mediante programación lineal aprendida en la asignatura de 'Industrial Applications of Math & Statistics' (MATH 2197), de las diferentes opciones de su aplicación, y la mejor forma de hacerlo.

The main goal of this project is to, through the skills learned in the course ‘Sustainable Engineering Practice and Design’ (OENG1118), redesign a plastic recycling station which uses multiple machines to achieve its goal into one single and compact machine capable of achieving the same results. After this stage is done, there will be a study through the linear programming learned in the course ‘Industrial Applications of Math & Statistics’ (MATH2197), of the different applications of this machine and the best ways of applying them.
