Industrial Water Treatment Water is an important environmental resource. Regardless of poor or rich countries, we all need water for human, agriculture, and industrial uses. Many industries depend heavily on water and produces toxic or unclean water. These industries face double jeopardy, on one had securing water resources and the cost of that water, and on the other hand, disposing of the unclean generated water. The Industrial Water Treatment project proposes a new water treatment method using nanotechnology along with other technologies. The proposed method will allow for the reuse of the treated unclean water at much lower cost with higher purification rates than most existing methods. At IER, we studied the idea, the proposed scientific method, and the business model. We further reviewed the scientific lab reports on the proposed method and its results. We find it a very good idea that will have an excellent impact on the environment by reducing unclean and toxic water from going into rivers, seas or soil, preserving huge amounts of water quantities, reduce production cost. Furthermore, proposed business model offers an economic impact as well. Young engineers interacting with global issues, identifying serious problems, searching for and proposing a viable solution, starting a business that offers the viable solution should be encouraged, supported and funded. IER welcomes all types of contributions or sponsorship of this project. Help us to bring these much-needed environment protecting projects to reality.

Biodiesel Production It is a well-known fact that environment protection is an imminent issue. It is also widely known the effect of fossil fuel on our environment. Moreover, garbage and Waist in various forms have major impact on our environment and the consumption of resources. This project proposes a method that minimizes waist, produces biodiesel and protects the environment. The research team proposes a method that would produces biodiesel from use cooking oil. At IER, we studied the idea, the proposed scientific method, and the business model. We find it a very good idea that will have an excellent impact on the environment by reducing toxic waste and producing an environment friendly biodiesel fuel. Furthermore, proposed business model offers an economical impact as well. Young engineers interacting with global issues, identifying serious problems, searching for and proposing a viable solution, starting a business that offers the viable solution should be encouraged, supported and funded. IER welcomes all types of contributions or sponsorship of this project. Help us to bring these much needed environment protecting projects to reality.

The possibility of integrating leachate into the raw material of firedclay bricks was studied in this work. The chemical, physical, and mechanical qualities of bricks containing leachate samples originating from sanitary landfill, Alexandria, Egypt, were evaluated. As a result, the properties of the brunt bricks integrating leachate produced in the fired clay- brick factory in El-Amreya district are of acceptable grade, according to the study in comparison with Egyptian standards. Furthermore, incorporating leachate into bricks decreases the continuous and rising demand for vast volumes of water needed in the manufacturing process.
