Agenda
• Feedback (expectations and priorities for review)• Problem Definition• Customer Needs and Specs• Concept Development• Concept Selection• Feasibility• Risks and Risk Assessment• Schedule
Feedback We are Looking for from This Review
• Alternative design concepts
• Feasibility of materials
• Compatibility of our ideas with Haiti
Problem Statement
• The primary objective of this project is to transform human waste into a safe to use fertilizer using renewable energy. The waste pasteurizer must be made of materials available in Haiti and be easy to use.

Concept Development: Morph Chart
System Concepts
1. Pot on stand, heat from top and bottom2. Box on stand with drawer, heat from top and bottom3. Double box on group, heat from top and reflectors 4. Bare minimum option: hole in ground, direct sunlight
only5. Expensive option: box with drawer, solar panels,
insulation6. Complex option: heat exchanger, heated from
reflectors and top
The Datums
• Capetown Project– Tin box w/ tray– Pasteurized human
waste in 6 hours using direct sunlight
• CooKit– Cheap (~$25 USD)– Pot in bag sitting on
mirrors– Not user friendly

Feasibility
• Solar irradiance data was collected from Puerto Rico using the average conditions by day for the past 40 years
• Determined how many days the minimum wattage was met for 5 hours
• Calculations show that 303 days will meet our needs
