Variable

Reason

  1. Cost

The lower the cost, the better the accessibility for our target demographic to help which is poor communities.

  1. Ease of Use

This will also lead to better accessibility with more people being able to make use of our ideas.

  1. Ease of Fabrication

This will make it easier to mass produce also increasing accessibility.

  1. Environmental Dependance

This will make sure that the idea will work with varying weather.

-Some of the ideas required the sun.

  1. Transportation

Easier to transport 

-increased accessibility

Activity 1: Penicilin

  Antibiotic Broad Category: Healthcare Sub-Category: Pharmaceutical Chemical Product: Penicillin Application of chemical engineering principles in the production of chemical product: Firstly, Penicillium mold is required to produce penicillin. In mass production the mold will be placed in fermentation tanks ( fermentation ). In the tank, the penicillium mold will be added to a mixture added with sugar. As the mold grows and ferments, penicillin will be produced and dissolve in nutrient broth(initially water and sugar). The nutrient broth will then be filtrated ( filtration ) and mixed with an acid. The broth-acid mixture will then be added into a solvent (butyl acetate) in order to carry out the liquid-liquid extraction of the penicillin. Penicillin will then be obtained by means of evaporation. citation: Dayalan, S. A., Darwin, P., & Prakash, S. (2011). Comparative study on production, purification of penicillin by Penicillium chrysogenum isolated from soil and citrus sample...
