Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The design and fabrication of a pilot production plant is a significant mechanical engineering project that aims to create a small-scale industrial facility for testing and producing a specific product. This project involves various stages including conceptualization, design, fabrication, and testing of the pilot plant. The primary objective of this project is to provide a platform for researchers and engineers to experiment with manufacturing processes, optimize production techniques, and scale up production of the product in the future. The design phase of the pilot production plant involves creating detailed engineering drawings, selecting appropriate materials, and determining the layout of the facility. Factors such as production capacity, process flow, equipment selection, and safety considerations are critical aspects that need to be carefully evaluated during the design stage. The fabrication process involves constructing the pilot plant according to the design specifications using precision machining, welding, and assembly techniques. Quality control and adherence to industry standards are essential to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the pilot plant. Once the pilot production plant is fabricated, it undergoes rigorous testing to validate its performance and functionality. Testing involves running production trials, monitoring key performance indicators, and identifying any potential issues or improvements needed in the plant design. The data collected during testing is analyzed to optimize the production process and fine-tune the operation of the pilot plant. The successful completion of the design and fabrication of a pilot production plant requires collaboration between mechanical engineers, industrial designers, fabricators, and quality assurance experts. Effective project management, clear communication, and adherence to project timelines are crucial for the successful execution of this project. Additionally, budget management and resource allocation play a vital role in ensuring the project stays within cost constraints and meets the desired outcomes. In conclusion, the design and fabrication of a pilot production plant is a complex mechanical engineering project that requires a multidisciplinary approach and meticulous attention to detail. By creating a functional pilot plant, researchers and engineers can gain valuable insights into the manufacturing process, optimize production techniques, and lay the groundwork for future scale-up production. This project contributes to the advancement of manufacturing technology and facilitates innovation in industrial production processes.

Thesis Overview

    A pilot production plant for paint is a chain une of pant production, from the design of the machine, the mixing of the chemical to the packaging. All is aim at production of both (texcoat) and emulsion (water based paints) which are basically classified as one of the two classes of paint.

PAINT CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO

–       GLOSS PAINTS (OIL BASED PAINTS)

These are paints that may be classified according to whether the drying mechanisms is predominantly solvent evaporation, oxidation or some chemical reaction. Gloss paints which dry essentially by solvent evaporation, rely on a fairly hard resin as the vehicle. Paints which dry by oxidation, the vehicle is usually an oil or an oil – based varnish, these usually contain driers to accelerate the drying of the oil. Paint based essentially on oil with suitable pigment such as Titanium dioxide, extenders, and usually zinc – oxide and white lead are conventional outside house paints because these materials give the combination of the properties which meet this requirement.

–       EMULSION/TEXCOAT PAINTS (WATER – BASED PAINTS)

These are paints with water soluble vehicle and they includes calcimines, in which the vehicle is glue an case in paints, in which the vehicle is casein or soybean protein.

OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH WORK

          The objectives of the research project work is to study the formulation, production of a low cost simple mixing machine and the production of paints, both glass and emulsion in with the use of local pigment and extenders as raw materials. This is highly beneficial for small scale for hence the cost of production is far reduced compared to paint produce by industries using imported machines and materials.

USES AND ECONOMICS

          Paints preserve architectural structure from weather attacks. Uncoated wood and metal deteriorate, especially in present of soot, C. and sulphur dioxide, S02. Thus, S02 in the atmosphere reacts with water vapour, both gases (g), to form aqueous 9aq) S02 which reacts further with water to form sulphuorus acid, H2 S04, from which S032 reacts with metals, eg copper CU2+ as follows

          (S02) (g)   +     H20                     (S02) (aq)

          (S02) (aq)   +     H20                     H2 S03

          S032-             +     CU2+                   S03- + CU+

IMPORTANCE OF STUDY

          Paints also increase the attractiveness of manufactured products, as well as the aesthetic appeal of dwelling. Thus, paints serve utility and art purpose. In the United State of America, paints annual sales clocked N4 billion (100 billion) in 1971, industrial paints for the first time sold more than architectural paints, indicating a shift in trend. This highlights the importance of paint ventures in a developing economy, such as Nigeria’s.

BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT

          Students and industrialists alike in developing countries lack the basic and simplified techniques on pants making; yet paints are a class of products that serves important aesthetic, protection and functional values. The few available paints makers are so specialized or professional in presentation that the seem scaring to interested students and industrialist. The objective of the project pilot production plant for pant simplified paint making; thereby motivating entrepreneur aspiring in pant making given them adequate viable market as a result of low cost of production.
