 INTRODUCTION

 SUN SEED NIGERIA LIMITED is member of

Kewalram Chanrai group, Sunseed Nigeria
limited was established and incorporated in the
year 1997 and mandated to;

 Production of vegetable oil, animal feed and soap

stock from soybeans and

 To ensure the supply of quality vegetable oil.

 DIVISIONS
Sunseed Nigeria limited comprises of six(6) units which are;
 Solvent extraction plant,
 Boiler unit,
 Preparatory unit,
 Laboratory unit,
 Refinery plant,
 Maintenance unit.

INDUSTRIAL PROJECT

The project report was based on the performance evaluation of

an oil water separator (case study of Sunseed Nigeria
Limited)
Outline:
Introduction

Conclusion
 Outline cont.
 Introduction: Separator is a device that separates
water from oil.
 Aim and objectives;The aim of this IT research is to
evaluate the performance of an oil water separator,
using Sunseed oil mill as a case study and to Determine
the efficiency.

S/N DATE Volume of oil Expected volume of efficiency of

recovered (m3) oil (m3) separator (%)

1. 6 9.02 14.38 62.72

1. 10 11.38 17.55 64.72

1. 16 16.48 25.20 65.42

1. 20 7.20 10.50 68.31

1. 23 7.69 11.44 67.22

DISCUSSION OF RESULT

 The table shows the volume of oil recovered and also

the efficiency of the separator (62-68%) which is the
ratio of the volume of oil recovered to the theoretical
(expected) volume of oil with a deviation of 30-40%
which is due to density gradient, incomplete separation
and some sand particles that accepted from the grit
trap.
 CONCLUSION
 I gained a lot of knowledge experience of the day-to-
day operations in the plant and I have seen visually all
the unit operations treated in class such as the
separators, heat exchangers etc.
