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...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN AUTOMATED MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVER’S LICENSING SYSTEM. (A CASE STUDY OF ENUGU MOTOR LICENSE OFFICE, ENUGU STATE; ABAKPA) NIKE).

ABSTRACT The ill treatment that take place in our motor vehicle Drivers licensing office today, one have to wait endlessly in order to get his driver’s licensing or renew his driver license and so on. This is a problem that is experienced daily, which robs the government a huge sum of money through fraudulent means.  Being a system run manually, it is prone to many man-made errors both intentionally and unintentionally, which could be unnecessary delays in attending to customers due to the...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ON-LINE VOTING SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF ENSIEC ENUGU)

ABSTRACT Voting is a very important process in the Nigerian political system.  It is one of the means and most effective method of ensuring a legitimate government through popular participation.  To enthrone sound democracy and stability in the political system of the Enugu state a system of rig-free voting has to be put in place. The system would among others discourage double voting, forgery or hoarding of electoral materials massive transfer of ballot papers destruction of ballot boxes, ...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED MODERN POULTRY FARM A CASE STUDY IMO POULTRY FARM LTD

ABSTRACT The magical impact of computer has made enormous contribution to all aspect of the society people can now do things easily unlike in the past. Computers have lesson human activities (effort) in their day to day life, by reducing both human labour and time in solving their problem which are both numerous / unlimited. The introduction of the magical machine has led to the further growth of Agricultural products. The technological know how and scientific research reveals that a lot of w...

GEAR DESIGN AND TYPES. (7D)

INTRODUCTION Each machine consists in principle of three basic parts: a motor or another prime mover (that sets the machine in motion), an actuating mechanism (which is directly doing the needed work: digs a ditch, weaves cloth, peels potatoes, propels a ship, and so on), and a transmission that connects the first two parts. Sometimes, the transmission may be lacking, for example, in a fan the impeller is mounted  directly on the shaft of the electric motor. But in most cases, the transmissi...

PROJECT REPAIR AND FABRICATION OF A REFRIGERATOR SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION  REFRIGERATION Refrigeration is a branch of science that deals with the process of removing heat from a substance or space in order to make it cooler. Refrigerator is defined as a device that is used in cooling the internal temperature below the room temperature (that is between 250C to 300C). Generally, however, for a space or substance to be cooler, it must loss that heat to another.  Also, for a space or substance to get hotter, it must absorb heat from another, which must b...

REPAIR AND REHABILITATION OF A FAULTY AIR CONDITIONER IN THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AT THE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY (I.M.T.), ENUGU

ABSTRACTIn the mechanical engineering department of institute of management and technology there are many machines but it is not all that is functioning well.This may airless as a   result of lack of maintenance which is a prove in the breakdown of the air conditioner.The quality and effectiveness of materials were mated very well as referred to machine maintenance.The cost of maintenance was minimized jet reaching a highly victorious rehabilitation.In the course of rehabilitation and repair...

FABRICATION OF A METALLIC BOOKSHELF

ABSTRACT  Knowledge could only be obtained successively by the use of books for research. This can be achieved only by preserving books already purchased. As a result we fabricate a metallic shelf made up of metallic sheet; precisely mild steel sheets. The mild steel used for the fabrication of the shelf is 1.5mm (16gauge) mild steel.  The shelf is made up of 3 partitions. In fabricating the metallic shelf several process where involved. We plundered on the material to be used that can hold...
