Development of a method of gluing reinforced concrete structures with the formation of a waterproof joint

Desired outcome

Entrepreneur Schneider manufactures biological sewage treatment stations in the form of reinforced concrete structures. It is necessary to develop a method of gluing the reinforced concrete bowl and the lid to prevent groundwater from entering the bowl

Taras Shnayder

Initial Problem Description

Ferro-concrete biological sewage treatment stations consist of a bowl and a lid. They are located below ground level and may overflow with high groundwater levels. This disrupts the functioning of the biological treatment station. To solve the problem, you need to develop a gluing method, namely: what adhesive materials to use, how to form a seam, the sequence of operations.

Context

This problem appears when the biological treatment station is located in a wetland and is not airtight. The hermeticity of the biotreatment station is important for the functioning of microorganisms that ensure the disposal of sewage effluents. Also, the overflow of the bioremediation station with groundwater leads to continuous pumping out of the contents, which leads to pump wear and excessive consumption of electrical resources.

Connection to cross-cutting areas

The development of the method will ensure the tightness of our biotreatment stations, which will reduce the volume of processed wastewater. Also, reducing the volume of wastewater will lead to an increase in the concentration of microorganisms and a deeper utilization of wastewater. Thanks to this, the minimization of negative human impact on the environment will be achieved.

Input

You can push away from different bars, butter, or what is included in schoolchildren's breakfasts, for example. Snacks are an important part of nutrition, you can come up with something in this direction. Walnuts they are added to many products, for example, they make honey with walnuts as a delicacy. They are also processed into butter or milk.

Expectations

We will move in the direction of mass consumption, perhaps we will be able to start our own trend for a useful healthy snack that will feed you and also provide the body with the necessary vitamins and trace elements. Maybe it will become fashionable in the world of nutrition. Now there is a trend of healthy eating.

Desired Team Profile

Food processing technology, this knowledge will help in solving this issue and will help to come up with a new innovative product. Raw materials are a valuable product, but the cheapest in the consumption chain, when making a finished product from raw materials is already more valuable. We have a lot of raw materials and would like to process them properly.

Additional Information

Competitors use the berries to process butter with honey. Also, many are sold simply in the form of fresh berries, which is why there is a lot of competition here, but we want to process them into a product for longer storage. There are also quotas for the export of berries, but if they are food products containing berries, there are more quotas.
