ABSTRACT This project was carried out using coal sample from Onyeama coal mine Enugu, Enugu State. Activated coal was produced by carbonizing the coal and activating it using phosphoric acid at a temperature of 5500c. the degree of bleaching of raw palm oil was monitored using spectronic meter through absorbance measurement. The essence was to identify suitability of the coal as a bleaching agent on palm oil. Comparison of the result obtained was made with the commercial fuller�...
ABSTRACT The repair of the fixed bed adsorption column, a product of arm field technical company was carried out for the purpose of bringing the faulty equipment back to its normal operating system. Before this exercise, the equipment was out of operation because of the completely blocked base of the fixed bed column (water column) and the malfunctioning of the air control value. The sintered bronze plate which formed the base of the water column was cleaned up and freed from debris which or...
ABSTRACT This project is aimed at producing black and brown polish of good quality. For clearity, polish is a substance rubbed on the surface of materials to make them smooth and shiny. Polish has being of immense importance in protecting leather surfaces and enhancing their beauty. To produce a standard polish, hard waxes such as carnduba wax, candelhla wax and palm wax; semi-hard waxes which include, paraffin wax and ozokerite; solvents like tupentine and naphtha; dyes and dryers are ess...
ABSTRACT The project aims to develop a flow process to obtain the optimum temperature and time necessary for the maximum recovery of alkali present in palm inflorescence. On this ground, a preliminary experiment was performed. During this process, both male and female palm inflorescence were compared for maximum alkali production and it was observed that the female palm inflorescence produced highest quantity of alkali than the male palm inflorescence. Based on this, the female palm infl...
ABSTRACT The need for an authentic and reliable report relating to the modification of a proto-type air-conditioning unit is inevitable. Many homes and offices use the air conditioner to cool the temperature in their respective homes and offices, so the maintenance of the air conditioner should be a top priority of every individual in order to avoid huge expenditure in the modification of the system. This report began with an introduction into the relevance of an air conditioner, the gener...
ABSTRACT The production of the soap was carried out using all the necessary equipments like the reactor, mould, stirrer, hygrometer guage etc. and all the required reagents for soap production in correct proportion. In the production, palm kernel oil (P.K.O) was used instead of tallow or grease. This was because soap produced from grease or tallow tends to dissolve slowly at room temperature, whereas, soap of palm kernel oil product gives a quicker lather which is relatively suitable. Diff...
ABSTRACT The candle mould has twenty four (24) holes which could produce twenty four (24) quality candle sticks Aluminum, a non ferrous metal was used as the construction material for the mould the type of casting technique used was green sand mould method. In the process of moulding the pattern was placed in the flask which contained the green sand. The flask was turned upside down and the reverse side of the pattern was formed. This part is called the positive part, the other part of t...
ABSTRACT This project is an equipment which been fabricated for the principle purpose of producing heat energy for commercial use by burning solid fuel like briquette. The project which is the fabrication of briquette stove was made from preferentially selected engineering materials like mild steels of different gauge member and metallic rod. These metallic materials posses some mechanical properties like malleability, ductility, static strength and have the capability of with standing ...
ABSTRACT Interface on petroleum product in multi-purpose pipeline system refers to as the zone of demarcation between two products where mixing occurs. Generally, interface is a boundary layer, so the boundary between two products when they are pumped in succession is known as interface. In Nigeria Petroleum Industries like NNPC (PPMC) make use of multi-purpose pipeline system. This is where interface comes in petroleum products. Interface as defined above plays a lot of economics import...
ABSTRACT The aim of this project was to construct one office table and four chairs. In the course of this project the length of plank used was 12†and we used about 4 number (mahogany) of 1†thickness, ¾ plywood of 1 sheet of 1†thickness, as well as ¼†plywood of ½ and glue 1 tin wenner 1 rod, foam ½ sheet. Fabrics 4 years, spraying materials and 21b of nail were utilized to effect the construction of office table and chairs. The materials were marked out t...

The technological properties passed by the chosen mild steel are; machinability ,weldability,durability,andformability.mech2nude properties includem2llebillity,duetility,st2tic strength and high tensile strength . The se...
ABSTRACT This project (Construction Of A Simple Size Reduction Machine) It was constructed locally with the use of local materials and tools in I.M.T mechanical Engineering workshop. The various parts of the equipment were constructed separately using mild steel before finally coupled. During the construction, the conveyors and it’s housing were first constructed. It consists of a shaft with a helical rod wound round it. the hopper was measured, out and welded from a mild ste...
ABSTRACT A motorized mixer of 200 liters capacity was constructed to have the capability of mixing 200 liters of fluid during operation. The construction of the mixer involves the preliminary measures and calculations on the surface area of the metal sheet. Some basic workshop practices was carried out during the construction such as the marking out of the metal sheet, cutting of different sizes of the sheet, welding of the prints, assembling of the components parts and painting of the equ...
ABSTRACT Blender is an electric machine for size reducing soft food or liquid mixture. Blender is some time called liquidizer consists of a glass jar or jug containing a steel blade assembly at the base driven by a small electric motor. Construction of blender was done based on the principle of size of reduction using electric motor as the major driver force. During the construction of blender, we adopted different stages which includes: i. The production of preliminary drawings with d...
