Faiz Bin Nohr Mood presented the results of his practical semester project at the Power Plant Technology Colloquium in Dresden
In the winter semester 2023/2024, Mr. Faiz Bin Norh Mood completed his internship semester at SCHOLZ Recycling GmbH. Scholz Recycling GmbH is a company that professionally recycles cars, trains, technical equipment and various aggregates on a large scale. In addition to metal recovery, the focus is increasingly on the recycling of plastics. BLACK is the predominant color in technical applications - whether cars, tools, household appliances or information technology. As black bodies absorb a large proportion of the radiation, sensor-based sorting using infrared radiation is not easy. The company SteinertUNisort has taken up the challenge as a plant manufacturer for sorting technology and developed a new sorting plant for this group of plastics. The student had the opportunity to accompany the commissioning of this plant at the Espenhain site with his tests as part of his 20-week practical semester.
Sampling took place in the real waste stream and ended up with 4 samples with 1000 black reference particles each. Each particle was given a number so that it could be analyzed and found again during the experiments.
In addition to the specialist knowledge required, a great deal of patience and dexterity was needed.
With the results, Faiz Bin Norh Mohd was able to show that the sorting system met the customer's required specifications for the material streams examined. ZIRKON welcomed the company representatives to Zittau to present their results at the end of the practical semester.
On 09.10.24 Faiz Bin Noor Mohd had the great opportunity to present his work at the 2nd Saxon Student Conference as part of the 56th Power Plant Technology Colloquium. In a selection process, the work was chosen by a jury in the field of recycling management in the process engineering section. It's great that these formats exist for students.
A big thank you goes to our practice partners SCHOLZ Recycling GmbH and UnisortSTEINERT GmbH for providing exciting and practical topics for student work and the trusting cooperation within the framework of joint research projects.
