Project Background P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review nurseries.co.nz/u ploads/images/3 %20Months%20g rowth%202.JPG Borgne, Haiti Google Maps Farmers of the Cooperative KGPB in Borgne, Haiti are in need of a source of income from their agricultural products An Essential Oil Distiller was identified as a possible mechanism to take advantage of crops Essential Oils can be extracted from various agricultural sources in Haiti Vetiver Basil Mint Eucalyptus Lemongrass

Project Background P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review What is an Essential Oil Distiller? Device that extracts oils from plant matter: 1)Water is boiled to create steam 2)Steam is passed over plant matter 3)Oils from plant matter are extracted with steam 4)Steam & oil rise up and travel to condenser 5)Mixture is exposed to cool water and condenses 6)Oil is separated from water We want to sell the produced oils to local “Fair Trade” stores in the Rochester area

Project Background P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review Fuels Most ‘traditional fuels’ in Haiti are: Costly Non-renewable Non-sustainable Therefore, there is a need for a renewable and sustainable fuel source to help power our essential oil distiller Solar Energy – abundant sun in Haiti Photovoltaic Thermal Methane – from biodigesters

Current State P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review Right now, farmers in Borgne, Haiti: Have little to no source of income Plant crops purely for consumption Are faced with deforestation and errosion problems Move to larger cities in hopes of finding work content/uploads/2012/09/ x640.jpg CDB.jpg

Desired State P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review We aim to: Create a feasable source of income from distilled oils Provide an environmentally friendly solution that does not deplete existing fuel sources or require reccuring fuel purchases Form a basis for future MSD projects to build upon, improve, and scale-up

Deliverables ●Working prototype ●Maximize use of sustainable energy resources ●Low maintenance and operation cost ●Produce oil with sufficient quality to be marketed ●A potential source of income for Haitian farmers ●A starting point for future MSD projects P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review

Project Benchmarking P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review

Project Benchmarking P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review Distilling Systems Benchmarked 10 distillers including home/hobbyist size, industrial size, and moonshine distillers Key Findings ●Dry steam systems provide the highest oil extraction but is usually reserved for high volume applications due to cost of the equipment ●Stainless steel is the most widely used material ●Most common fuel sources: propane, electric Distiller/dp/B00AR0YGS0/ref=sr_1_7?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid= &sr= distiller_ html

PhotovoltaicSolar Thermal Project Benchmarking P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review Solar Panels A few different possibilities: work

Project Benchmarking P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review Heat Sources Benchmarked a variety of different heat sources, with the goal in mind of producing steam throughout the entire process time of the vetiver plant while using sustainable energy sources Key Findings: There are many ways to create heat, but due to the long process time of the vetiver plant (12 hours) it may be difficult to rely solely on sunlight as an energy source. science/solar-cooking1.htm Could-Be-the-Right-Choice-For-You.aspx

Project Benchmarking P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review Temperature & Pressure Sensor ●Need of a pressure/temperature controlling system ●Process pressure - Ordinary pressure ●Open system – operation around 100º C and 1 atm. ●Need of process monitoring – temperature and pressure gauges Essential-Distiller/dp/B00AR0YGS0 l-TD NPT Face- Temperature-Pressure-Gauge- Tridicator

Risk Management ●Risk minimization tasks identified: ○15 Project Management ○10 Technical ●Living document to be updated weekly as project progresses ●Nearly all risks are tied to communication! Highest scoring risks: 1.Catasrophic product failure 2.Test equipment not available 3.Low oil yeild P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review

Project Plan P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review ●Rolling wave project updates (weekly) ●Allowed for freedom within each assigned task ●Included risk mitigation tasks ●Baseline schedules to monitor changes and slipping tasks

Next Steps P15484 Solar Assisted Essential Oil Distiller Week 3 Project Definition Review ●Identify oil quality metrics through benchmark testing ●Identify most viable and cost effective fuel source(s) ●Functional decomposition ●Concept generation and selection ●Begin developing test plan
