Concentrated Bird Repelling Composition with Glycol
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current compositions for odor and bird control at facilities like landfills and golf courses are applied separately, requiring multiple crews and not addressing both issues effectively.
Innovation Solution
A concentrated treatment composition that combines a bird repelling agent, glycol, and optional fragrance/odor control agent, which is stable and miscible in water, reducing the need for multiple applications and surfactants.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate compositions are applied for odor control and bird control, then each specific problem is addressed, but the overall process complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines odor control composition and bird control composition into a single integrated treatment composition. This merging eliminates the need for separate application processes, reducing operational complexity while maintaining both odor control and bird repellent functions in one formulation.
Solution Approach 2:
The treatment composition is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: controlling odors through fragrance components and repelling birds through bitter-tasting compounds. This multi-functional approach allows a single composition to address both problems that previously required separate treatments.
2Reliability
If separate compositions are applied for odor control and bird control, then each specific problem is addressed, but the time and resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
By merging odor control and bird control into one composition, the patent enables simultaneous treatment of both issues in a single application event, eliminating the sequential time loss associated with applying separate compositions at different times.
Solution Approach 2:
The universal composition performs both odor control and bird repellency functions concurrently, allowing facility managers to address multiple concerns in one operation rather than scheduling separate applications, thereby reducing total time investment.
3Stability of the object's composition
If surfactants are added to improve miscibility, then water mixing is enhanced, but the composition stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts or eliminates surfactants from the formulation, achieving water miscibility through alternative means. The composition relies on the inherent properties of its core ingredients (glycol, fragrance compounds, bitter compounds) to mix with water without requiring additional surfactant additives.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the chemical parameters of the base composition by selecting specific glycol types and ratios, as well as choosing fragrance and bitter compounds with appropriate solubility characteristics. This parameter optimization enables water miscibility while preserving composition stability without surfactants.
