Hydraulic Waste Valve Innovation by SLSU!

In light of innovation, SLSU is one of the leading contributors not just here in the Philippines but also internationally. One significant contribution is the research of two affiliates from the Engineering Department of Southern Leyte State University, Mr. Danilo P. Metra, Jr. and Mr. Marvin C. Credo, with their study titled “Design Analysis, Installation, and Performance Evaluation of a Hydraulic Ram Pump System with a Modified Waste Valve,” published in the Scopus-indexed journal, Vietnam Journal of Science and Technology (VJST). The university is proud to announce that Mr. Metra and Mr. Credo have established an impactful innovation by examining and developing a waste valve for a hydraulic ram pump that enhances its capability and usability. The study concluded that the height of the waste valve’s stroke significantly affected the delivery flow rate, thus impacting its overall efficiency. This result is crucial in providing insights and knowledge for people still using this machinery. The study aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) number 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, and number 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. It also emphasizes the university's goals and mission to foster innovation and create a better society in the future through research. Lastly, we congratulate Mr. Danilo P. Metra, Jr. and Mr. Marvin C. Credo for a job well done.
