the Engineering student community in sustainable development SEIDS The competition was held fuel source Focus on building Bioanalysts in it Tec Querétaro Campus.
the Bioanalysts They new technology To promote organic waste from farmsconverting it into a gas and thus we can use it in Power generation.
more than 60 participants And 12 teamsThe contest was promoted by a school engineering and science where participants acquired the necessary skills design biodegraders, through conferences, drills And practical application.
throughout 4 months the students building mechanisms, as well as in their design, facilityAnd maintenance And Supervisor in order to be winners.
Initiative basics
he competition It was implemented by the SEIDS Sustainable Development Student Community in the classroom of August-December 2022.
The idea of this contest was born because students Sustainable development They took the topic of creation Bioanalyststhat highlighted the importance of these mechanisms and a reason Young people to take action.
“in United State It is common to see Great rangeThis competition is driven by the idea that biodegradable materials are increasingly popular Mexican farms“, comment Armando Garcia Student group leader
The main milestone in this process is Emilio Clark Crespo from the College of Engineering and Science Which encouraged the SEIDS community to look for a way promote This ideology and its effects on environment.
The winning team for its organization and innovation
The competition took into account its various aspects appreciationthan use MaterialAnd authenticityin the technical aspects Gas quality And biol quality, Among other things.
the Top winners They are all those Participants Who can learn more about Bioanalyststhat they took expertiseLearn about CAETEC and make an impact environment.
However, out of the 12 teams, only one was chosen to be honored primarily by 2 main factors:
- biogas quality
- The quality of the biol, i.e., the remaining bacteria from the biodegrader
In this sense, to generate gas production, bacteria occupy approx 90 daysafter a month and a half Samples were taken from the facility to Discover sayings Factors.
Under these analyzes the team was selected “Land” like winners, formed by:
- Eric Augusto Mentado Reyes (Captain)
- Annette Montserrat Vega Vega
- Laura Paula Sotelo Guerrero
- Gustavo Morales Ramirez
- Carla Abril Hurtado Sanchez
When they told us we won, we knew it was worth it. Laura Sotelo, a member of the winning team, noted the competition.
The aim of the competition
project sought planting The importance of the digestive organs not only to the SD youth who are in the fifth semester, but also, The primary goal is the stimulus generations Already smaller other races to join this initiative.
That is why one of the requirements for the competition was that in your team you had at least one participant who 1 or 3 semester In search of the impact on students starting university.
The contest consists of 7 stages Throughout the semester:
- In the first stage it is Presentation tourWhere the details of the competition were identified and explained General concepts for teams.
- The second stage is focused on an exercise Both vital factors and digestion are important Technical part Of which.
- The third stage is focused on Detail process From the bioanalyst, where each team building via independent Your biodegrader.
- The fourth stage is an operation facility in it CAETEC Experimental Agriculture Field.
- Phase five focused on maintenance And Supervisor inside CAETEC.
- The sixth stage consists of biogas analysis I was born inside Engineering laboratories.
- Finally, the seventh stage was it delivery and team presentation The winners.
What stands out in this contest is the ability to Know And stimulate youth worry about it environment And you find one technology that Positive effect the environment.
“we We start from 0Thanks contest we learned About construction and impact on the planet that can be generated by the biodegrader”, said Annette Vega, member of the winning team.
And with that, a student project, which brought together the engineering community and which presents the grounds for a competition that it seeks to repeat every year, is closed.
