CONSTRUCTION OF WATER STORAGE TANK (2000 LITRES)

ABSTRACT The 20000 liters storage tank was constructed for effective storage and conservation of third with three (3) mild steel sheet of 14 gauge (2mm) thickness.  The construction started by marketing out 1½ (One and half) mild steel of 2440 Mm by 113Mmusing metal meter rule and critter the already market out dimension underwent cutting with a backsaw and after marking out and cutting operation of the cylindrical part it under went fording, using hammer and folding machine, and finally jo...

CONSTRUCTION OF A HYDROCYCLONE

ABSTRACT The hydrocyclone is a separating device used for the separation of dust particles from air, which has no moving component parts. This mechanism can also be defined as a system of winds circulating about a center of relatively low barometric pressure and on the earths surface, blowing inward in spiral form. This project is constructed for the separation of liquid – liquid and solid – liquid mixture, like air and dust mixture, dust and liquid drop. This equipment is constructed to ...

PRODUCTION OF DOMESTIC POWDER

ABSTRACT This research project is aimed at producing domestic powder and consequently, three different types of powder were produced, namely, simple face powder (pan-cake), medicated/Antiseptic powder (dristing   powder). During the various production Talcum, Zinc-oxide, Perfume, Menthol, Tragasan 300 DP (Triclosan), Mineral oil and colour (brown) were the materials used in the production of different powders. And equipment and apparatus used for production  of the three different powders ...

THE BLEACHING OF PALM OIL USING ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

ABSTRACT This project work is on the bleaching of palm oil using activated charcoal. The charcoal used for this work was made from pieces of animal bone by carbonization method.  It was then activated into two different samples.  Firstly, the basic sample was activated using anaphoric acid (H2 s04) while the other was activated by just heating as a control for the experiment; both at a constant temperature of 5000c and approximate time of 2hours. They were both size reduced into fines and ...

THE USE OF LOCAL PIGMENTS AND EXTENDERS FOR FORMULATION & PRODUCTION OF EMULSION PAINT

ABSTRACT The major aim of this project research work is to produce emulsion paint from locally sourced pigment & extenders. The materials used for the production was of local source. The major raw materials used for the production of the emulsion paint: water, titanium iv oxide, calcium carbonate, kaoline, calgon, natrosol, biocide P.V.A, ammonia, deformer (Ginap) kerosene, yellow iron oxide and red iron oxide. Emulsion paint of two (2) samples was produced, and calcium carbonate locally obta...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED OUT-PATIENT INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR A CLINIC (A CASE STUDY OF HANSA CLINIC ENUGU)

ABSTRACT This research work shows us the potential benefits we may obtain from the computerization of the out-patient information system of the Hansa Clinic Enugu. The out-patient department otherwise called OPD is a place where the out-patient that is patients that receive treatment at the clinic without staying overnight, wait for the doctors to attend to them. This manual operation of the outpatient information system is normally stressful. But when it is being computerized it will reduce ...

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COAL AND COCONUT ACTIVATED CARBON

ABSTRCT The experiment was carried out to analyze comparatively coal and coconut activated carbon.  The coal sample used in bituminous and with density of 1300kg 1m3 tile coconut shell was used. The coal and coconut shell was first activated using phosphoric acid.  The activated coal and coconut carbons mere then used to bleach palm oil after preliminary treatment of the palm oil. The 10 dine value, saponification value, peroxide value and acid value of the oil bleached with coal activated ...

CONTRUCTION OF A READING TABLE AND A CHAIR

ABSTRACT The table constructed has a horizontal top with vertical support or legs to raise it from the ground. The aim of the table constructed is for the preservation and storage of useful materials like books, files, computers, result booklets, electronics, office equipments and some vital home equipment etc. However, before the construction of the table, selection of wooden materials were carried out for long and lasting durability of the table. Mahogamy wood was selected for the construc...

DESIGN AND OPERATION OFA SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

INTRODUCTION The most common type of heat exchanger used in industry contains a number of parallel tubes enclosed in a shell and is thus called a shell and tube heat exchanger.  These heat exchangers are employed when a process required large quantities of fluid to be heated or cooled.  Due to their compact design, these heat exchangers contain a large amount of heat transfer area and also provide a high degree of heat transfer efficiency. Over the years, many different types of shell and ...

A PROJECT REPORT ON THE REFURISHMENT OF FLUID FLOW DEMONSTRATION UNIT

ABSTRACT The refurbishment of the fluid flow demonstration unit was carried out in the Chemical Engineering pilot plant laboratory of the Institute of Management and Technology Enugu. The refurbishment process was carried out to ensure adequate functioning of the unit, to allow the continuous use of equipment in the pilot plant, so that student would use it in understanding the nature of the flow of fluid through pipe lines, these process was also for the development of the knowledge of every...

WATER POLLUTION

ABSTRACT  This seminar studied and analyzed Water Pollution, the causes, the effects, the sources, types and control of Water Pollution in the societies water pollution occurred when pollutants were discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds, Water Pollution affected plant, and organisms living in this bodies of water. Water pollution was known to be caused by the following factors, sewage and wastewater, marine dumping industri...

THE ROLE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS IN THE SOCIETY

ABSTACT Most of the critical condition societal problem such as conversion, storage and transportation of energy resources, food processing, preservation and supply, natural resources, development and recovery, their processing to final product, environmental quality control etc.hinge or the creative application of che- ical engineering. This led to the question “The role of chemical engineers in the society  The net result is the persistent recruitment of other professionals by industries...

SOAP PRODUCTION

ABSTRACT The aim of this seminar is soap production. Due to societal demands on cleaning agent to promote her hygienic conditions leads to research on how to produce soap which is one of the cleaning agent to meet the demands. Also in order to earn living through the out-come (financially) from the soap produced , many life can be enriched in the society. The process of soap production include”: cold process and hot process. The cold process of soap production requires measurement of lye an...

INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION AND GREEN HOUSE EFFECT

ABSTRACT The  title  of this  research  work’s  industrial pollution  and  green  house  effect”  The  purity of the  atmosphere  and  the  environment  can  be  impaired  by  the  industrial  effluents  or  sewages.  Poisonous  compound  like  organic  and  inorganic material , the  consequence of  toxic  inhalants  such  as  nitrogen  oxides (NOx) carbonmonoxide  (COx),  Sulphur  oxides (OSx) and  particulater.  These  waste  tent  to  pollu...

CONSTRUCTION OF A SIMPLE PAINT MIXER

ABSTRACT A 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 suit...
