Designing, constructing, and testing of solar-powered rice pest light trap at Abilay Norte, Oton, Iloilo
Get PDFAbstract onlyIloilo has an abundance of production of rice each year. It ranked third in rice output in 2011 with 959,270 metric tons in Western Visayas (Bureau of Agricultural Statistics). In prior years of engaging in this type of agricultural activity, farmers frequently experienced pest problems. The development of a solar-powered rice pest light trap can aid in the elimination of these pests. This study aims to design, construct and test a solar-powered rice pests light trap at Abilay Norte, Oton, Iloilo. Two systems were designed: the passive and active systems. A 25 Wp solar panel and 26 Ah battery were used to provide enough power for a 6 Watt UV LED for passive and a 6-Watt UV Electric Mosquito Killer Light for active. A photoresistor sensor was used to control the lighting fixtures automatically. The results showed that the passive system has more trapped rice pests than the active system and the overall efficiency of utilizing solar-powered light trap was 59.62%. The trapped pests were similar to the pests counted during the quadrant method. Overall, the device designed, constructed, and tested was effective in trapping rice insect pests in the field. It can help farmers to manage insect pests on their crops and lessen the use of pesticides that are not healthy and can contaminate crops, soil, and water, which may eventually cause health problems for consumers.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Electrical Engineerin

Thermo-catalytic pyrolysis of residual plastic waste to produce pyrolysis oil using bench-scale batch reactor utilizing egg shells and bentonite clay as catalysts
Get PDFAbstract onlyThis research study addresses the environmental impact of plastic waste in Iloilo City and proposes the adoption of thermo- catalytic pyrolysis as a potential solution. The city faces pressing challenges due to the large volume of non-biodegradable plastic waste, leading to recurring floods and pollution. To address this issue, the researchers designed and constructed a bench-scale batch reactor using eggshells and bentonite clay as catalysts to convert LDPE plastics into pyrolytic oil. The necessary materials, including LDPE plastics and eggshells, were collected, and bentonite clay was purchased online. Thorough preparation of the feedstock and catalysts was performed, involving washing, drying, sizing the plastics, and grinding the eggshells. The thermo-catalytic pyrolysis experiments were carried out in an inert atmosphere using nitrogen gas, at specific heating rates and reaction times under atmospheric pressure. The resulting pyrolytic oil was analyzed for weight percent yield and fuel properties, compared with pyrolytic oil produced without catalysts and standard commercial-grade fuels. The findings showed that the presence of catalysts significantly increased the production of pyrolysis oil, improving its fuel properties and making it comparable to gasoline and diesel. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the potential of thermo-catalytic pyrolysis as a sustainable solution for plastic waste management, contributing to waste reduction and renewable energy generation. It offers valuable insights into the use of eggshells and bentonite clay as effective catalysts and sets the groundwork for further research in this field. By implementing this technology, Iloilo City can work towards a cleaner environment and more sustainable waste management practices.Includes bibliographical references (72-73)Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineerin
