description |
Vegetable oil is a common staple in every
household, used in everyday cooking. After repetitive heating
cycles, the used oil is discarded by pouring it down the drain.
However, this leads to drain clogging and environmental
pollution. Instead of disposing the waste material, it can be
recycled. A prototype system is designed to collect and store the
waste cooking oil (WCO) to make WCO recycling easily
accessible and convenient for the community and WCO
collectors. The prototype works on its ability to assess the density
of the liquid and differentiate between used vegetable oil and
other liquids. The prototype is controlled using Arduino MEGA
2560 which computes the density using data obtained from
sensors. The controller then decides on accepting or rejecting the
liquid deposited based on the accepted WCO density range of
0.91-0.93 kg/L. This prototype is also equipped with GSM (Global
System for Mobile communication) technology to indicate to a
local collection operator when the storage tank is reaching its
capacity. The prototype was tested and results clearly indicated
the prototype is able to function as desired. The prototype can be
further improved with sensors of higher quality and accuracy and
storage tank of larger capacity for actual implementation. |
