De Guzman, Aaron Choco S-Critical Review
Waterways play a vital role in the community and should be maintained clean
and uncongested. In the Philippines, waterways are highly used for irrigation. As the
Philippines is known to be a rice-producing country, these waterways are of great
help to farmers. A clean and uncongested waterway will also prevent flooding. On
the other hand, these waterways are being congested with garbage. People are
relentlessly disposing their waste on canals, which results in waterways being a pool
of litter. In response to this problem, the researchers (Renerose R. Distajo, Paul
Jonathan I. Bunag, Marvin V. Malinao, Bernard Luis C. Pagdanganan, Lorie Mae B.
Perez), Mechanical Engineering Department of Bulacan State University aim to
introduce a new and innovative way of collecting litter on waterways.
The main objective of the study is to demonstrate how to efficiently use the
device called Floating Litter Trap (FLITTRAP), a more sustainable and requires less
manpower device that uses different principles of strength of materials, machine
design and buoyancy force and pulley mechanism. This paper deals with exactly the
subject, considering the title of this research "FLITTRAP (Floating Litter Trap) with
Collecting System".
The design and testing conducted on the device that was installed in a
waterway at barangay San Marcos, Calumpit, Bulacan, are valid for studying the
problem. Aside from the float test, the device is put through its paces in order to
decide how long it would take for it to reach its full load power, which is adequate
to drastically impact the results of this study. A strong experimental design increases
the chances of a successful experiment for the researcher.
The abstract of the study accurately summarizes the article. The headings
and paragraphing are organized and it is logically divided into paragraphs and the
study of the distinctive styles is addressed. The research makes a significant
contribution to human knowledge that can be used in solving an existing problem
and promoting an innovative mind to improve and discover new things. This study
produces a practical application, particularly in social and technological aspects. It
is a great contribution with an extensive impact on the community that can be
applied to other places in our country.
The Floating Litter Trap with Collecting System is an effective tool for
addressing large-scale litter problems in our community. This device is not only
effective at removing and collecting litter, but it is also visible in the community,
providing great opportunities for education and awareness. However, this is not a
long-term solution and it should be viewed as one useful tool in our community's
larger litter prevention and collection toolbox.
