FORMULATION AND PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL FROM PALM WINE.

ABSTRACT This research work was arrived as the formulation and production of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) from the fermentation of palm wine. A fresh palm wine was ated which was obtained  from Emene in Enugu State.  The characteristics that was tested before and after fermentation were; specific gravity, refractive index and PH value of the fermentated palm wine was first determined, after which samples were formulated for fermentation.  The yeast that was used in the course of fermentation pr...

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...

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.

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...
