Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for on-site production of explosives using waste lubricating oils and fuel oils are inefficient due to the need for fixed or modular plants, requiring additional equipment and logistical complexities, which limits flexibility and increases costs.
Innovation Solution
A mobile transport vehicle with stainless steel tanks and recirculation systems for waste lubricating oils and fuel oils, equipped with a static mixer and control system, allowing for on-site production of ALR/FO mixtures in variable proportions without the need for traditional fixed plants, reducing logistical and operational costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If fixed plants or modular plants are used for on-site production of ALR/FO mixtures, then production capacity is ensured, but flexibility and adaptability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the static fixed plant into a mobile vehicle-based system that can be relocated and reconfigured. The vehicle chassis supports tanks and mixing equipment that can be moved to different locations, providing dynamic adaptability while maintaining production capacity. The system can be repositioned as needed rather than being permanently installed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the fixed plant functions into separate modular components mounted on the vehicle - tanks for ALR and FO storage, static mixer for blending, recirculation systems, and filtration equipment. This segmentation allows each component to be independently optimized and reconfigured based on production needs, enhancing flexibility while maintaining overall productivity.
2Reliability
If traditional fixed plants are used, then stable production is achieved, but logistical complexity and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions (storage, mixing, recirculation, filtration, and delivery) into a single integrated mobile vehicle system. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate fixed plant infrastructure and multiple supply trucks, reducing logistical complexity while maintaining stable production through self-sufficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile vehicle system is self-sufficient, carrying all necessary components (tanks, mixer, recirculation pumps, filters) needed for ALR/FO mixture production. The system can operate independently without requiring external fixed plant infrastructure or additional supply vehicles, thereby reducing logistical dependencies and complexity.
3Productivity
If multiple supply trucks are used to deliver components to fixed plants, then production continuity is maintained, but operational costs and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple supply functions into a single mobile vehicle that carries both ALR and FO tanks along with mixing equipment. This eliminates the need for multiple separate supply trucks to deliver components to a fixed plant, reducing time consumption for material delivery while maintaining production continuity through on-site mixing capability.
4Quantity of substance
If fixed plants with large storage tanks are used, then sufficient mixture supply is ensured, but mobility and repositioning capability are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by replacing fixed large storage tanks with mobile tanks mounted on a vehicle chassis. The vehicle can be relocated as needed, providing mobility while maintaining sufficient mixture supply capacity through appropriately sized tanks that can be transported and repositioned to different production sites.
