WORKPLAN
Project Title: Design and Development of Coal Fly Ash Compacting Machine for Oil Spill
Adsorption
Project Description: The subject of the study and its development could provide a way to reduce industrial wastes in coal fired power plants, reduce the hazardous effects of improper disposal of
coal fly ash and solve oil spill environmental problem. The design and development of the compacting machine could be beneficial to many people because it produces a low cost natural
adsorbent of oil and replaces the manual and natural recovery used in treating and curing oil spill catastrophes.

1. Conduct preliminary testing to Data Gathered
establish the following parameters: and its results
1.1 proportion of coal fly
ash and clay mixture;
and
1.2 operating pressure.
2. Test the performance of the coal fly
ash compacting machine to determine
the following parameters:
2.1 compacting rate; and
2.2 compacting efficiency.

Test the properties of product output in

terms of:
