Effect Of Reprocessed Pure Water Sachet (pws) On The Properties Of Wood Wool
[A CASE STUDY OF OMO WOOD ALSTONIA LONGENSIS]

3.0    OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The aim and objectives of the project is to:
-    Evaluate the strength of the concrete when polymers are used along side with other construction materials and when they are not used along side with other construction material.
-    Examine the water absorption capability of this kind of composite.
-    Determine the best mix ratio for the materials used for the production of this composite.
-    Reduce the amount of environmental waste in the country in general.
4.0    SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The scope of this project focused on the effect of reprocessed “pure water sachet” (PWS) on the physical and mechanical properties of wood wool (Omo wood). The physical properties include water absorption and dry density of the cubes; while the mechanical property includes the compressive strength test of the cubes.
5.0    METHODOLOGY
The methodology includes the following:
-    Procurement of materials needed for the production of the specimen: wood, pure water sachets, cement and water.
-    Using of a manual hand wooden smooth machine to remove the shavings from the wood.
-    Production of reprocessed pure water sachet (PWS).
-    Construction of the formwork or moulds for the wooden wool cubes of dimension 50mm X 50mm X 50mm.
-    casting of wood wool cement  cubes.
-    Physical and mechanical test is carried out on the cube.
-    Analysis of results, conclusion and recommendation.
