CONSTRUCTION OF 2,000 LITRES CAPACITY WATER RE-SERVOIR

ABSTRACT In the construct of 2,000 litres capacity water reservoir galvanized  steel  sheet forms the tank and an angle iron rod forms the stand.  Two full length galvanized sheet were marked out and cut out to the required sizes.  The work stated by cutting the it gauges galvanized steel sheets of full length into geometrical dimensions of the cylindrical shape After cutting, the different of the sized were assembled and joined together by using 12- guage  electrode on are holding mach...

ANALYSIS OF ENUGU COAL

ABSTRACT The project Analysis of Enugu Coal was done to determine the characteristic properties of Enugu Coal with particular emphasis on the proximate and ultimate analysis. Coal samples from the Enugu Coal (Onyeama) mine were obtained and pulverized.  The coal sample (pulverized) was subjected to proximate and ultimate analysis to determine its characteristic constituents. Analysis showed a volatile matter content of 37.46 weight percent, 7.10% moisture content, 8.3% ash content and 47.14...

UTILIZATION STUDIES OF ENUGU COAL

ABSTRACT This study has its theme as a utilization studies of Enugu coals with the view of studying its properties, classification, preparation storage etc comparing coals obtained from different locations. The Enugu coal is a sub-bitummous and non coking coal.  It is very rich in waxes and resins, thus it may be suitable for the production of liquid fuels and a range of chemical raw materials. After all necessary studies which includes proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, caebonization te...

PRODUCTION OF PLANT MIRROR USING LOCAL RAW MATERIAL

ABSTRACT This project “production of plane mirror using local raw material†is meant to study the possibility of producing plane mirror using sand rich in silica as its major local raw material. Plane mirror is produced by casting one side of a sheet glass.  Presently in Nigeria, sheet glass is not used easily produce and as such, the local raw material used in the in the production of plane mirror in this product backing paint.  The facilities for the production include spraying...

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A REFRIGERATING UNIT

ABSTRACT The design and construction of s refrigerating unit is handled from the knowledge of the working principles of laws of thermodynamics. The size of the containing vessel i.e the case as established to be of 45cm by 32 cm in dimension. The Angle iron mild steel to used in the fabrication and welding. The box case of two layers are fabricated. Plastic (cooler) box is then  placed inside the upper part with the other parts of the refrigerator were brought in. they were all fixed onto a...

CONSTRUCTION OF TURBINE MIXER

  ABSTRACT The Turbine Mixer was Fabricated at the ________________________ The method of the fabrication of the Turbine Mixer involves a preliminary computation of the dimensions of the standard Turbine in relation to the dimension  of the reacting vessel in which they will be used in. making out, cutting out to sizes, rolling/folding, welding, body filling, glass- papering and painting. The total surface area is 10741.5cm2 The first step taken in the fabrication of the said project was t...

Problems Of Personal Income Tax Collection And Management In Nigeria

ABSTRACT It is well known fact that there are numerous problems inherent in the Nigeria Personal Income Tax System. With the present economy, a lot of problem emanated from the assessment, collection and management of personal income tax. Personal income tax is a source of revenue to the government and, therefore, must be saved from the setbacks. Since we are not in an ideal world, the problems associated with personal income tax may not be completely eradicated but can be reduced to a manag...

Construction Of A Simple Paint Mixer

ABSTRACTA paint mixer is defined as a pattern constructed for the production (mixing) of paint manually.  The method of fabrication of the paint mixer involved a preliminary computation of the dimensions of the standard mixer in relation to the dimension of the reacting vessel in which they will be used in marking out, cutting out to sizes, rolling, folding, welding, body-filling and painting.  The first step taken in the fabrication of this project work was the selection of material ...

Crude oil components

The Crude Oil Quality Group (COQG) is sponsoring this document as an informational tool to be usedby personnel in the petroleum industry. This document is intended to provide basic information on theeffects that certain crude oil contaminants have on refinery operations. COQG’s goal is for thisdocument to provide beneficial material to all parties involved in the crude oil supply chain - from thewellhead, to pipelines, and to the refinery gate.This initial document is intended to be the fir...

Biodiesel produce from jatropha seed

Team Oil from [the] Soil is comprised of a group of senior chemical engineers at Calvin College who are proposing an alternative method to producing biodiesel. This alternative entails converting the oil found in seeds from the Jatropha Curcas plant into biodiesel.  Team Oil from [the] Soil plans to design and optimize a full scale plant that extracts and converts the oil found in Jatropha Curcas seeds into a usable diesel fuel substitute. In addition to this, the team plans to build a simpl...

Plant Design of High Fructose Corn Syrup

This project envisages the establishment of a plant for the production of high fructose corn syrup with a capacity of 6,000 tons per annum. The country`s requirement of corn syrup is met through import. The present (2013) demand for syrup is estimated at 5,000 tons. The demand for the product is projected to reach 8,858 tones and 14,266 tons by the year 2018 and year 2023, respectively. The principal raw materials required are starch, alpha-amylase, gluco-amaylase, and glucose isomerase. St...

A PROPOSED DESIGN FOR THE CORRECTION OF FOULING IN CONDENSERS

                                                                                  ABSTRACT The two most common condenser tube problems faced by industrial users are internal tube fouling and tube failure. Fouling can have a major impact on the generating efficiency or the capacity of the condenser while the tube leaks or failure can seriously impact unit availability and reliability. Fundamental understanding of the root cause(s) of these issues and th...

Production of MES by transesterification of castor oil

Abstract Petroleum based detergents are neither soluble nor biodegradable; they are so stable such that when they flow into the soil, sewer or surface waters, they remain unchanged, resisting conversion into less complex and more soluble substances. In this work methyl ester sulphonate (MES) was produced by transesterification followed by sulphonation of ricinoleic acid, a main constituent of castor oil. A detergent was produced from transesterification followed by sulphonation of castor oil ...
